DJ Jabal grew up listening to Motown and Desmond Dekker, so my musical influences were not restricted to one genre, and my love of soul and reggae is reflected in the music I share.
I draw inspiration from the jazz funk era, and early soulful house, as well as from the early reggae pioneers who left a legacy for contemporary roots, dub and dancehall stars. The music I love both messages me and makes me dance.
