On the 11th of October, Shasha Marley of Ghana, Africa’s Newest Reggae Star and an 8-piece Band Jaslyn Hall and Earth Central Production will perform live in concert in Australia. Currently Shasha Marley is the most exciting and taunted dynamic reggae artiste in the World.

Shasha Marley has released a very notable number of hard hitting reggae songs; the musician was inspired by great reggae artistes such as the Legendary Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Fela Kuti among others.

In Australia from the 5th -14th he will be performing at the following venues, Hepburn Springs Palais – VIC, Corner Hotel – Richmond VIC, Kantana House – Green Point, NSW, The Factory – Sydney NSW , Mona Vale Hotel – Sydney  NSW, and his final show at Triselies – Katoomba.

Information monitored from Australia indicates that the all his performances have been at the highest pick with very large capacity crowd especially from Kantana House His voice sounds very captivating since he exploded onto the African reggae scene with a very large worldwide audience. His singing career began when he released “Tell Freedom” this debut album of his top charts as soon it was released and transcended him into the local African reggae scene.

But he first performed at the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant in Ghana, with a very explosive performance to steal the show and impressed lots of international members in the audience.
Shasha’s most recent album “Lost and Found” commonly known as “Mata Fish” by most of his fans locally is that kind of song that will put any depressed person soul back on track and sign of hope to the hopeless, it is currently adored around the world and reviews around the world.

The album, was recorded with the Wailers Band featuring Junior Marvin. Most critics says, “It’s as powerful as a statement of contemporary reggae and social awareness that you are ever likely to hear” Assie Ocansey introduced Shasha to Isaac Hayes when he was to be adopted into the Royal Family of Ada and also the commissioning of Isaac Hayes Foundation.

His interest in music got very high when he was in his third year in high school, Saint John’s School, and was singing for the high school band called the MATHEW CHAPTER 5, in Sekondi-Takoradi, the capital of the Western Region of Ghana.
That was when he became so much in tuned with music, and desired to cut across the globe with music. His father’s desired for him was to be a lawyer, since he was from a family of lawyers.

His father was the then Director of Education in the Western Region of Ghana, and so he started singing in nightclubs after high school completion.
This is what motivates Shasha; “who Jah bless, no one curse,” and the stone the builders rejects, shall always become the head cornerstone. It is the doings of the lord, and it’s pleasant in the eyes of men…so Jah sa.”

He says; “Reggae is a synthesis of soul in African rhythms and Afro Caribbean influences, and it is the music of the slums, shantytowns and backyards. Reggae is like an everyday thing. Everything that people uses like food, clothes, and shelter, I and I just put music to it, and it’s Reggae. It is the kind of music that brings beauty to the ugly, hope to the hopeless and elevates the soul of the depressed and sets them up to where they belong. Reggae means people who are suffering and don’t have what they want. So you see, all these factors about Reggae are what make it timeless”.  

He has work on HIV/AIDS project in Ghana and Africa sponsored by John Hopkins University. His monk stage appearance is an influence from St. Francis of Assisi. He is seen as responses to old time reggae artiest like Alpha Blondy, Luck Dube.
