In Europe Fyah T is already highly valued as an accomplished singer and producer of high grade,
pleasing and disarming riddims. The youthful multi-instrumentalist, composer, songwriter and band
leader from Munich, Germany also drew international attention as a singjay. In early 2011, he
released the “Backstabber” riddim selection (Oneness Records), on which he was featured with his
stunning combination tune “Backstabba”, sung together with no other than Jah Mason, one of
today‘s hottest modern roots interpreters from out of Jamaica. In 2007, Fyah T was still an insider‘s
tip of the Munich reggae scene. Today, his fan base stretches all over Europe and beyond. French
superstars Dub Inc and Jamaican Lutan Fyah are amongst those who are highly anticipated his
debut album.
Fyah T took the time to come up with something very special, as he rates quality much higher than
quantity. Now the diamond is finally honed. The 9th of September saw the release of an opus of
15 real modern roots blasts with unobtrusive urban influences. Its title, “Familywise”, does not only
describe how the album was produced - together with the Next Generation Family, his backing band
of which he becomes a part to back artists like Lutan Fyah and Queen Omega on European tours -,
but also an attitude towards life of Fyah T. For the highly spiritual Rasta, family is an important
value ranging close to that of loving His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie. Fyah T
considers a conscious way of life indispensable to not get lost in Babylon‘s chaos. As he never
leaves home without his turban, many people take him for a member of the Bobo Ashanti. But Fyah
T does not want to stress differences between the Rasta mansions, he prefers to emphasize the
similarities. “Rasta is one!”
