Anue Nahki is best described as a young independent artiste with modernized youthful delivery. He understands the power of positive influence and how it impacts society. He has combined the art of roots and DJ into a modernized art form reminiscent of early dancehall, yet evolved into a style embraced by the Caribbean youth of today.
"I am a singer and deejay but my music is different in the sense that it's not straight dancehall or reggae. It's a blend of all the music that I've been exposed to as a young man who grew up in the Caribbean. It also embraces the philosophy and teachings of Emperor Haile Selassie and Marcus Garvey."
"Our people need positive music to lead them out of darkness. Change starts with every individual doing the right thing. Playing the right music and singing uplifting messages leads to a greater consciousness and ahigher depth of spirituality." ~ Anue Nahki
Drawing from ancient Rastafari wisdom, Anue Nahki holds fast to his childhood upbringing. Hailing from the Parish of St. Mary, Jamaica, he was born to Rastafarian parents, Stephen Chin and Charmaine Watson. Their inspiration guided Anue to recognize the importance of Rastafari livity, not only as a life practice but also as a societal remedy. Because of his deeply spiritual commitment to truth and righteousness, Anue has emerged as one of the most crucial young artists in Jamaica, blending the sounds of Ancient Africa with the uplifting rhythms of Caribbean roots. His energy and message are infectious.
MEANING OF NAME
Anue Nahki is a name rooted in ancient Kemet. Anue is the "Heavenly One" representing the cradle of civilization. "Nahki" refers to the "Kemetic Child."
Anue Nahki is the ancient child bringing the message of the Heavenly One to the people of creation through the blended music of past, present and future.
INSPIRATION
Inspired by Bob Marley, Lee Scratch Perry, and the productions of Studio One, Anue Nahki attended university in Kingston. At age 20, he registered his own record label Future Youth Productions. In Kingston, he also spent time at Edna Manley School for the Visual and Performing Arts where he found himself in the same environment as Chronixx, Protoje, Jesse Royal and Raging Fyah. The torch was lit.
When asked what changes he would like to see in the current trends, he says: "Ultimately I want to see the younger generation of industry players taking more from the ones before us and to stop adapting to outside influence, breaking the authenticity of the genre."
For such a young artist, Anue has a growing catalogue of impressive releases, including the single and video "Prophecy."
Media houses, Irie FM, RJR, Suncity, Roots FM Bess FM and Bridge FM have featured Anue's songs on their playlists.
CVM TV, Hype TV, TVJ and EBUZZ conducted interviews, and articles were published in the Jamaica Gleaner, the Jamaica Star and the Observer, and more.
A recent trip to the West Coast of the U.S. brought further engagements and recognition that laid a strong foundation for future touring.
Anue is always working on new material. He is available for festivals, interviews and to reach out to the reggae massive for face-to-face introductions.
