Deep

Jahi, who has been off the music scene for a short while, returned with a

single fit for the pandemic which

has forced smaller gatherings and private parties.

According to Deep Jahi, Private Party, produced by Jerome Elvie of Natural Bond

Entertainment, was inspired by the current COVID-19 pandemic.

“The whole vibe with the COVID-19 kinda have the place

under lock down, so the only way to have a nice little time is to keep a

private party where a selected few are invited. Hence the idea for the song,” Deep Jahi explained.

“Well various rhythms were sent to me, including the

Gold Leaf Riddim and to be honest as the beat started to play, the private party

idea came to mind,” he added.

Born Rushane Sanderson, in rural St Mary, Deep Jahi

won the Magnum King of the Dancehall competition in 2012. Two years later, he entered and won the Jamaica Festival Song

competition with the song I Love JA.

A former student of the St Mary High School and
