ANDRE JAHNOI
André Jahnoi stands out from the bustling British music scene as a revolutionary creative whose sonic tapestry is intricately woven with the threads of his ancestry. He performs under his first and middle names, the latter of which is an Amharic term of veneration closely translated to ‘majesty’. As an activist, academic and artiste, his journey in music is not just about entertainment but also a profound exploration of identity, resistance, and liberation.
Born and based in Liverpool, a city rich in culture but built on bloodshed, his lyrics navigate the intersections of his Afro-Jamaican roots and British upbringing. Influenced by a diverse array of thinkers, Jahnoi draws inspiration from the likes of Peter Tosh, Nas, and Walter Rodney to produce modern interpretations of age-old struggles. A fusion of Caribbean rhythms, wheel-and-come wordplay, and radical Rastafari thought not only makes his art distinctive but also positions it as an integral part of the contemporary cultural dialogue.
