Roots of a Messenger

Born Anthony Singh on October 4, 1966, in Kingston, Jamaica, Moses I grew up surrounded by the rhythm, faith, and culture that define reggae’s heart. Raised in the Papine and August Town communities — strongholds of Rastafarian consciousness — his journey into music was shaped by the sounds of roots, nyabinghi drumming, and the message of unity that echoed through the hills of St. Andrew.

Music wasn’t just a dream; it was a calling.
From his earliest days, Moses I was drawn to the vibration of truth in reggae — a sound that speaks for the people, uplifts the spirit, and brings awareness to injustice. Guided by elders and inspired by legends of conscious music, he began developing his own voice as both singer and songwriter.

Rise of the Artist

By the late 1980s, Moses I entered Jamaica’s reggae scene, recording his first songs with local producers and honing a style that blended roots discipline with dancehall dynamism.
His breakout moment came in 1998, when he teamed up with Capleton for the powerful single “Crazy Look” — a collaboration that introduced his name to reggae fans worldwide and led to international tours across the Caribbean, North America, and Europe.

He later founded his own imprint, Livon Music Production, creating an independent platform for his releases and emerging talent. This label became a space for creative freedom, producing songs that balance deep spiritual roots with modern rhythms.

A Voice of Purpose

For Moses I, reggae is not just entertainment — it is a mission.
Every lyric, every performance carries a message: peace, justice, unity, and upliftment.
He calls his style “roots with direction,” combining faith and rhythm to awaken consciousness through sound. His songs reflect the struggles and hopes of ordinary people while keeping his Rastafarian beliefs at the center.

Over the years, Moses I has released songs like “I Could Make You Dance” — a funk-inspired single that shows his versatility — and most recently “Di Glama” (2024), a high-energy track that merges traditional roots essence with modern production.
As the Jamaica Observer noted, “Moses I continues to evolve his sound while staying true to the spirit of Rasta — unmovable in faith, and devoted to positive vibrations.”

Legacy and Vision

Moses I’s message remains clear: music is a vessel for healing and transformation.
Whether performing live in Kingston, collaborating with reggae greats, or mentoring young artists, he carries the same mission that began in the hills of August Town — to bring light where there is darkness, and strength where there is struggle.

“Reggae is the heartbeat of the people — and as long as the heart beats, the message must continue.”
— Moses I
