RIP Fantan Mojah (5 Aug 1975 - 14 Jul 2026), #Jamaican singer and songwriter, born Owen Lennox Moncrieffe, in White Hill, St. Elizabeth. Best known for his conscious, roots-oriented style within contemporary #dancehall-influenced #reggae. As a youth he began performing at local concerts and talent competitions, later relocating to Kingston to pursue music professionally, where he worked with the traveling sound system Kilamanjaro, performing songs during sound checks. He initially adopted the name Mad Killer in tribute to dancehall deejay Bounty Killer. Following his exposure to the Rastafarian movement, his music took on a more positive tone, and he was encouraged by fellow artist Capleton to adopt the name Fantan Mojah, signifying his spiritual transformation. He signed with Down Sound Records in 2004, and his debut single “Hungry” was a hit in #Jamaica. His debut album, Hail the King, followed in 2005, released by Greensleeves Records, followed by Stronger (2008) and later releases including Rebel I Am (2012) and Soul Rasta (2016). Fantan Mojah is recognised for lyrics emphasizing praise of Jah, positive portrayals of women, and moral themes, placing him within the “new wave” of conscious contemporary reggae artists. #Caribbean
