A new star rises with firm step into the stardom of international Reggae music, Josep Jordi Grau Saula (Calella-Barcelona, 1991), IRIE SOULJAH, a name leaving deep footprints, is starting his Journey to Jah, towards the roots, to a destination that was written from birth. Her mother and grandmother tell Irie Souljah learned to sing even before talking and he was able to immediately absorb any musical melodies and tone it with great musical instinct before their second birthday. At age 4, he was given his first guitar, which he used to sang all the time and helped learning and develop their musical skills in their school years.
During his adolescence, as a result of a time of rebellion, he decided to break with everything and rebel against his fate when he was around 14, with great conviction to take a new path and leaving his musical career. But the providential intervention of his mother would be essential, pointing out his mistake and convincing the young Irie that music would be an essential part of his future and that he was predestined to succeed in the world with his voice and guitar in hand.
As he reminds, -since I can remember, my parents constantly listened to English spoken music at home, mainly black music and I was always deep influenced by those sounds and found them very natural-, but especially captured his attention Bob Marley records. At 16, he began to attend with friends parties where electronic music was often mixed with Reggae and Jamaican sounds and he developed a deep interest in these particular sounds and started a transition towards Roots Reggae sounds and taking great consciousness.
In 2008 he formed his first band, the Reggae Soldiers, finding their own sound as main purpose . A project to fill him as an artist and as leader and soloist did in 2009 over 20 performances at small venues and beach bars, covering Burning Spear and Culture classics among others and musically leading instrumentalists not very familiar with Jamaican sounds. Already in 2010, he decided to go a step further in their professionalism and adopt a new name as a band, Mystic Souldiers incorporating new musicians of proven quality and closer to its musical style, and trying in their quest to near perfection and his undoubted commitment to achieve the highest artistic creativity, get higher goals. Joining them extends his musical knowledge to develop their skills on bass, drums, keyboard and percussion. They released an EP “Showcase”, which contains 4 songs and 4 dubs, mixed by Spanish dub genius and producer Roberto Sánchez.
Still, Irie Souljah felt that something was missing in his life, he wanted more professional projection, he wanted to rehearse constantly seeking the path to perfection. This caused him an inner emptiness and frustration caused by the desire for artistic progress and perfectionism with his musical project, getting not reach home arose. And here comes the basic rate at the start of their journey to Jah, upstream and root, as he recalls based on Culture tune, “so long Rastafari called you … so long !!” .
After a short staying in Jamaica, Irie Souljah came back to Spain to perform several shows and even sharing stage with Chronixx, and finally moved to Kingston in early 2014, has no link that can bind to their place of origin, putting everything in Jah hands and leaving which was not seen as his site, and starting a close relationship with Nice Times company.
From first minute after exposing their artistic talents, he received a warm welcome from the Jamaican music community, big names like Sly & Robbie, Flabba Holt (Roots Radics Band), Ken Boothe, guitarist Nambo Robinson or Chinna Smith among other, they realize the great artistic potential and projection of young Irie Souljah, which shared much of his time with them.
