Mackeehan is a promising young artiste who is no amateur in the music business.
He is a proud product of the ‘Gully Side, Cassava Piece where his musical journey began as a child, playing drums at church. While a student at The Edna Manley College, he was also a finalist in the 2006 Jamaica Popular Song competition, performing his original song 'Rise Up’ which is played every morning on Roots FM as the intro track for their morning program of the same name.
Mackeehan has a number of notable achievements under his belt, as he is recognized as a profilic song writer whether by himself or in collaboration with other writers, penning songs for a number of Jamaica’s great artistes these including C Sharp’s (‘What’s the matter with the world’ on Kurt Riley’s Golden Gate Riddim), Duane Stephenson, Nesebeth, Jah Cure (‘Freedom’ his first post release single), Luciano (‘No Evil’ on his current album ‘Jah is My Navigator’) and Etana, co-writing along with Sherieta Lewis, her latest hit, ‘Warrior Love’. A number of his own songs are currently on the airwaves filtering as far as Europe, such as ‘Try’, and ‘Stand Tall’ on the General Riddim (produced by FatEyes). For the past year, Mackeehan has been traveling and performing throughout the Caribbean with Duane Stephenson, one of Jamaica's newest sensations (hits such as ‘August Town’, ‘Cottage In Negril’, and writer of Jah Cure’s ‘True Reflections’). Mackeehan’s greatest desire is to inspire and encourage people in difficult situations to seek the best out of life, in spite of hindrances through his music. |
