KING JAM BLOG

Japanese Top Reggae Sound Born in Osaka, Japan, King Jam is an up and coming international sound system. Pikkal founded King Jam in 1998 and played in Osaka clubs until he brought his ambition to New York in 2000. He wanted to improve his language skills and experience the foreign dancehall scene firsthand. Soon after Pikkal’s arrival in New York he met current selector Steel-T. Those two would link up with Skerrit from Bronx-based Ghetto Life crew just browsing in an electronics shop one day. Thanks to Skerrit and Ghetto Life crew, King Jam is on its way to becoming a world class sound. Skerrit invited the young Japanese sound to play alongside Ghetto Life at a dance in the Bronx. After its first performance King Jam got the Bronx stamp of approval. The two sounds and other Bronx sounds have come together to nice up that dancehall ever since. Massive B, Afrique, Bass Odyssey, Stone Love, and Fire Links are just some of the all-star sounds that King Jam has joined forces with in the past five years. In 2004, King Jam grew even more talented when Miki Rooney and Haji joined the crew. As of 2006, thanks to additional support from Flex of Afrique, King Jam has mashed it up in Connecticut, Jersey, D.C., Atlanta, Miami, and Bermuda. In 2006, the plan is to cover both sides of the Pacific, one team in Japan and one in the U.S. These are the hardest working Japanese men in the biz, and their motivation is true love for reggae music. BLESS ＆ POWERS TO ALL REGGAE LOVERS ACROSS THE WORLD!!
