Jah9: The Janelle Monáe of Jamaica

Just like how Janelle Monáe fuses different musical styles and incorporates a futuristic tone, Jamaica’s Jah9 combines Jazz and Dub to create a sound that’s totally unique and engaging. Jah9, real name Janine Cunningham, matches her poetic lyrics that reflects the injustices she has grown up seeing in Jamaica with her blend of traditional Jamaican Dub with touches of pop music and cool-jazz. Her compelling voice gets you grooving while it also makes you think.
