(which means “To Be Remembered
By Jah“) from his uncle Buju Banton.
Music has been his life since his
youth, Zacharri says: „From the age
of 4 I was always singing for my mum,
when it was dinner time,I would
make up a song about dinner time.
And I always told her that I will be a
singer one day, she would just laught.
At the age of ten I wrote my first song
and perform it in school and mash up
the place. And from then I continue,
until in 2000 I recorded my first track
professionally. And from there I never
look back. Music was always inside
of me, like if Jah put it there and my
mission now is to bring it into ears of
all people and uplift their souls, share
messages and bring positive vibrations„ recording from the age of 17.
He got his first release in 2000 under the name of Dj Bogle with a song

with and produced some of Jamaica’s
most prominent artistes such as Jah
Cure, Sizzla, Bounty Killer, Beenie
Man, Buju Banton, Assassin...just to
name a few. Zacharri has contributed to many successful international
productions including his own ShemHa-Boreh label which was the origin
