Biography

Highah Seekah is the Reggae Festival Guide 2007 "Reggae Artist On The Rise." He was born in Savanna-la-mar, Westmoreland, Jamaica on August 6, 1980. Like many children growing up in Jamaica, Highah Seekah would sing on a church youth choir, seemingly in early preparation for his future musical aspiration. Westmoreland is also known for producing other artists such as Peter Tosh. Highah Seekah spent his first 12 years living in Westmoreland until his immediate family migrated to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1993.

While attending high school, he sang on the schools chorus/choir as a baritone (a baritone is a male voice of intermediate pitch, between bass and tenor). In 1997 he began to put pen to paper and voice to music and has continued building himself ever since. "At the turn of the millennium, I experienced a spiritual awakening. My consciousness took a leap forward and also became influenced by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie I and the mystical Rastafari movement and way of life, which helps me develop as a conscious man and Artist.” When asked what Highah Seekah means, his response is simply, “A seekah of highah consciousness. I strive to be creative and to make music to not only make one feel good but to get one to think and reflect on matters of life and the day and time in which we live."

Highah Seekah spent the subsequent years working further on his talent and art and honing his skills. He has done some performances in and around Fort Lauderdale and Tampa, Florida to Asheville, North Carolina to Hartford, Connecticut to Amherst and Boston, Massachusetts and now looks to take his messgae and music to the work stage. Among many recordings, Highah Seekah will appear on Royal Inity Records’ Mad Notes Riddim compilation Cd with "Body Mind & Soul." Mad Notes also features artists such as Luciano, Natty King, Jah Mason, Lutan Fyah, Gentleman, Khari Kill and Virgin Island artists such as Binghi Ghost, Pressure, Ras Attitude, Niyorah, and Batch.

Other forthcoming riddim driven compilation appearances include One Harmony Records’ Unification Riddim with “See A Unity,” Strange Things Riddim with “ Dem Neva Think ‘Bout Jah” and Sour Sop Riddim with “Mystical Vibes.” He will appear on Ruff Riddims Productions African Union Riddim with “Connected” and Bird Flu Riddim with “Bird Flu.” He will be on UK based Blackrose Projects’ compilation CD with "Genocide In Sudan," a very emotionally touching song describing the genocidal atrocities happening in Darfur, Sudan, Afrika. Seekah has also recently completed recording for his debut ’mix-tape,’ entitled "Journalism 101: The Mixtape 2007," which features 20 tracks, showcasing the artsist’s vocal versatility and keen perception and writing ability. Highah Seekah’s debut studio album is in the works and will be released in 2008.

Other independent producers Highah Seekah have recorded with include Ganjah Fyah Dub out of Indianapolis, Rob ’Irish Moss’ Connelly out of Western Massachusetts and Malone Rootikal out of France. Many more works and shows are to follow as Highah Seekah buds blossom and bloom into the reggae world with natural talent.
