The global reggae movement is witnessing the rise of a new African voice as Nigerian reggae sensation Jah Device continues his remarkable journey from the hills of Jos, Plateau State, to the international music stage. The fast-rising artiste recently achieved another career milestone after earning a special feature in the entertainment section of BusinessDay Sunday, one of Africa’s leading English-language newspapers.

The publication highlighted Jah Device’s artistic journey, influence, and contribution to Nigeria’s entertainment industry, further cementing his place among the country’s most promising reggae exports. The recognition not only celebrates his growing impact but also shines a spotlight on Plateau State as an emerging hub for creativity, culture, and musical excellence.

Known offstage as I Am Device, Jah Device has steadily built a reputation as an international reggae musician, songwriter, producer, and performer whose music blends conscious messaging, spirituality, social commentary, and rich African rhythms. His sound is driven by thought-provoking lyrics, melodic harmonies, and pulsating live instrumentation — elements that have distinguished him within the reggae community both locally and internationally.

Signed to Stingray Records UK, Jah Device has continued to expand his global footprint through collaborations and projects that connect Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond. His works have reached international audiences through strategic partnerships and distribution support from Bob Marley’s legendary Tuff Gong International in Jamaica — a major milestone for any reggae artiste seeking global relevance.

Among his notable releases is Love And Sacrifice, a project that brought together respected international reggae figures including Anthony Red Rose, Michael Buckley, and Natty King. The collaboration reinforced Jah Device’s position as an artiste capable of bridging cultures while maintaining an authentic African reggae identity.

Currently, the Jos-born star is working on an international project with producer Zige Dub featuring collaborations with Troy Anthony from Bermuda, House of Riddim in Austria, and I Am That I Am Records in Jamaica — an effort expected to further elevate his profile on the global reggae scene.

Beyond music, Jah Device remains deeply invested in community building and cultural development. He is the convener of the annual Rocky Road Music Festival, an initiative that provides a platform for talent discovery, artistic expression, and cultural exchange while promoting Plateau State’s creative ecosystem.

His journey also reflects a multifaceted personality. Away from the stage, Jah Device is passionate about studying the Word, sports including judo and football, fishing, beekeeping, and travelling. Over the years, he has represented Africa at several international events, including engagements in Jamaica — the spiritual home of reggae music.

Speaking during the BusinessDay Sunday feature, Jah Device emphasized the role of entertainment as a driver of economic growth and social transformation. He described music as one of the strongest hopes for Nigeria’s economy, particularly for young people seeking opportunities, empowerment, and self-expression.

As a brand ambassador for The Mayor of Housing Nigeria and an emerging cultural voice from Africa, Jah Device’s story is becoming more than a musical journey — it is evolving into a movement of purpose, identity, and international influence.

From Jos to Kingston, London to Austria, Jah Device is carrying the sound of Africa to the world stage, proving that reggae remains a universal language and that Plateau State has yet another global ambassador in the making.
