Khanakah Harmony, or simply Harmony (born Sheldon Jermaine Facey, February
24, 1976, St Catherine, Jamaica) is a conscious Rastafarian Reggae Artiste,
Song Writer and Studio Engineer. He is best known for song, ‘Burn
Rome’, on which he and fellow reggae artiste, I Wayne collaborated.
Harmony is also the Mixing/Recording
Engineer for the mega-hit song, ‘Angola’, by artiste, Jah Bouks and
he was also instrumental in the early development of the musical careers of
both I
Wayne & Gyptian, among other artistes.
He spent his early childhood years growing up at Oliver Road in East
Kingston. There he surrounded himself with musical activities from the
constrained church choir to the unrestrained music of the streets. He had a
passion for music from an early age and knew that this would become an
important part of his life as he grew. Khanakah (Americ for fire) and Harmony
exemplify the persona, the heart and soul of this reggae artiste. His tone is distinct, smooth &
soothing. His peers in the music industry, from the likes of Glen Ricks, Louie
Culture, Admiral Tibet and Mad Cobra, to name a few, have all vouched for his
talent.
Currently, two new singles are soon to be released for Harmony, Mother’s
Cry & Making Life. Mother’s Cry is about the struggles and oppression
people endure while at the same time reaffirming the hope that the oppressors
will face justice. In Making Life, a stark contrast is drawn with those who
take life, destroy life versus the act of love making, creating life. It also
portrays the woman in her fulsome role as Mother, adorning her with much love
and respect.
There are over five hundred songs in Harmony’s song writing catalogue
and they are all positive, uplifting and expressive. These include tracts like ‘All
the Way’, ‘Protect the Children’, ‘Better to Make a Life’, ‘Just One of Those’,
‘Music is Healing’, and ‘Power’. About his music, Harmony
has said it is to calm the mind and soothe the soul. It is his hope that his music
will resonate with music lovers all over the world, similar to those of Bob Marley,
Dennis
Brown and Garnet Silk for whom
the artiste has much love and respect. Harmony has also been privileged to
benefit from the tutelage of a few of Jamaica’s best in the music industry –
these include Mr Wong, Black Beard of Tipsy Record, Computer Paul, Mr Bertus,
Jamaica Papa Curvin and Afrikan Symbal.
Of course, no stranger to performances, Harmony has represented on the
local & international stage. He has performed at events like, Summerjam
Festival in Cologne, Germany, Rototom Sunsplash, Spain, Two
Sevens Splash, Amsterdam, Netherlands and Switzerland Montreux Jazz
Festival. He and his Rastafarian brother, I Wayne toured some thirteen
European countries in 2006 & 2008.
When not in
the studio, Harmony can be found practising yoga or tai chi, counselling
brothers & sisters who seek his guidance, reading and sharing his knowledge
on philosophical things. He is a natural loving soul whose musical prowess is
just bursting to be exposed!
