Atlanta songwriter/producer/lyricist/singer JAHAH is the definition of authentic soul music that reflects the magnetic era of the 70's and the preeminence of contemporary hip-hop. His music pulsates with hard hitting drumbeats and intoxicating melodies, which function as the backbone for his lyrical adroitness. "I grew up listening to funk, R&B, and a taste of jazz," explains JAHAH. "By the age of twelve I was into many different genres of music...especially hip-hop."
Seattle, Washington and Baumholder, Germany were JAHAH's place of residence before he migrated to Atlanta, Georgia in 1993. "I originally moved to the dirty south to attend The Art Institute of Atlanta and pursue a career in music engineering but that didn't work out. I ended up taking classes at Clark Atlanta University and graduating from Morris Brown College in 1999." During his four and a half-year matriculation at the AUC (Atlanta University Center), JAHAH interned for the once glorified LaFace records. "LaFace was definitely an inspiration for me because I was able to see the music business from the inside out and take notes." While amongst the LaFace milieu, JAHAH befriended another young and aspiring artist named Alicia Moore (now known to the world as the multi-platinum artist Pink). "I haven't seen Pink in many years but I know what she had to go through to get where she is now. She's proof that dreams can come true." After recording a couple songs featuring Pink, JAHAH decided it was time for him to make his presence felt in the music industry. "I started performing and doing gigs where ever I could be heard. I rhymed on three of Speech's (Arrested Development) EMI-Japan releases and finally saved up enough money to make my own album."
From the roots of hip-hop and jazz, to the wonder years of rhythm and blues, JAHAH (a.k.a. Mama's Only Son) is a unique talent of honest soul and organic hip-hop. His influences range from musical icons such as Bob Marley, The Crusaders, Michael Jackson, Prince, Barry White, Al Green, Run-DMC, and Big Daddy Kane to contemp
