Born Vanern Dwayne
Tulloch, in the parish of St. Catherine and raised in Portmore and Old Harbour,
Jah Van I attended Davis Basic School and Bridgeport Primary. He later studied
at Knox College. Whilst working as a ramp attendant for Air Jamaica, his
colleagues noticed he wouldn’t stop singing. They encouraged him to pursue
music professionally. Jah Van I made his first professional recording in 1999,
a single entitled “Pictures Frame” for producer Chris Knight.
In 2010 he encountered Bhyrr (owner/ founder of Royal
Warriors Muzik) at Anchor Recording Studio. The following year Royal
Warriors Muzik signed Jah Van I.
Currently Jah Van I
and Royal
Warriors Muzik are hot on the campaign trail for his debut
album “In My World”. Full of conscious lyrics, “In My World”, addresses topics
such as love, social, political and economical issues. One such conscious track
is entitled “Down a Yard”, a
song which speaks about Jamaicans wanting to go to foreign in pursuit of a
better life. According to Jah Van I, who has travelled overseas and developed
fan bases in islands such as Martinique, “Nobody wants to stay a yard
anymore, but there is no where like yard”.... “Nough tings a gwaan. No love no
whey like yard”. Other explosive singles from the 12 track album
includes “Reggae Music”, “Home Alone” and “Hello
Suzy”, a love song.
“In My World”, is
