Fantan Mojah was ‘a powerful voice for conscious reggae music’

Reggae singer Fantan Mojah was born Owen Moncrieffe on August 5, 1976, in St Elizabeth. After a start in the dancehall scene under the moniker Mad Killer as a tribute to Bounty Killer, whom he admired, he soon came to embrace Rastafari. As such, by 2004, the world would come to know him as Fantan Mojah – thanks to the hit track Hungry. By 2005, he released his debut album, Hail the King, which would spawn the hits Nuh Build, Hail the King and Corruption. He would be crowned the Breakout Act of the Year.
