Bushman

Bushman is one of the most distinctive voices to emerge from the Jamaican roots reggae resurgence of the late 1990s. Gifted with a rich, resonant baritone, his music carries both spiritual depth and cultural authenticity, earning him recognition worldwide as a torchbearer of conscious reggae.

His breakthrough came with the hit single Call the Hearse, which paved the way for his debut album Nyah Man Chant (1997). The album was widely acclaimed for its cohesive sequencing and roots-heavy message, and it remains a standout in his catalog.

While dancehall and more commercial trends have often dominated the Jamaican music scene, Bushman has remained steadfast in his devotion to roots and culture. This commitment has earned him enduring respect and a loyal international following, particularly across Africa and Europe. Today, he continues to embody the spiritual and revolutionary essence of reggae, keeping alive the conscious tradition established by the genre’s greats.
