KINGSTON, Jamaica — Motivation, the latest song from singjay Deep Jahi, is reportedly doing well in the Cayman Islands, Atlanta and Japan.

Produced by YGF Records, Motivation was released early this year.

“It basically sum how I look at life, which is to be positive. It don’t surprise me that it doing well ’cause Tevin and I put in a lot of work,” said Deep Jahi.

Tevin is Tevin Richardson, head of YGF Records, which operates out of Ocho Rios.

Deep Jahi (real name Rushane Sanderson) is the winner of two high-profile contests. In 2012, he won the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall, the same year he broke through with the song Life Goes On.

Two years later, he won the Festival Song Contest with I Love JA.

The 25-year-old Deep Jahi is from St Mary and music was always in his plans.

  One of his early musical influences was his cousin Hugh Mundell, a roots singer whose album, Africa Must Be Free By 1983, is one of the best selling reggae albums in Europe.

In addition to Life Goes On, Deep Jahi’s popular songs include Greatness, Family Over All Things and Conversation.
