Jafrass Bio

Shevin Jarrett, more popularly known as Jafrass is a Jamaican recording artiste that
hails from the parish of St. James. He got the name ‘Jafrass’ from a close friend of his,
explaining that the “Ja” represents his conscious side and the “Frass” represents his
hardcore yeet effortless dancehall side; just to show his versatility.

Jafrass looks up to Jimmy Cliff and Vybz Kartel as his two musical influences. He
respects them because they are extremely creative in their own right and because they
have at one point or the other been at the top of their respective genre. He stated that,
that’s the impact he would like to have on people.

Jafrass’ inspiration to pursue music came from his grandmother. She was the one that
would always encourage him to become an artiste. He stated that she would drink rum
on occasions and when she was intoxicated she would always call him to deejay for her;
she was his first fan.

Jafrass has been pursuing music professionally for three years, however, he loved music
from as early as he knew himself. He developed a love for performing and really wanted
to become an artiste, so he started writing songs and performing them to friends, where
he would always receive a good reception. His career started professionally when he was
introduced to prolific Producer Notnice by a friend. Jafrass, just about two years ago,
took his career a step further by signing to Notnice Records, for whom he also recorded
his debut single, “Floss Boss” on the Detox Riddim.

Jafrass’ lyrical prowess is owing to meditation as he says “Well I don’t write songs, I just
meditate them in my head, I sit with the rhythm and lyrics just flow, sometimes even
when I’m driving”. He considers himself as an all-rounder with music, listing his
interests as Reggae and Dancehall but he isn’t limiting himself.
