The Rush is a Jamaican born unsigned singer / songwriter / studio engineer / music composer of an African heritage. Born to devoted christian parents yet rush grew up listening to a cultural mix of music from all over the world which attributes to his flexibility in composing and writing his tracks. As a child of the island Jamaica, it was almost inevitable that he’d be drawn to reggae, Rastafari, and the natural mystic of music that they together inhabit themselves in his music and his soul. “The music I heard growing up from my parents, family and the places we visited gave me a lot of musical and cultural flexibility.” “Everything I’ve ever heard blends together in what I do hence becoming major influences.” The Rush (Rohan Joseph) has been pursuing a career in music since the year 2000 officially as a part of a group called Full Suit. It was only after some minor productions and promotions that it had to come to and end due to some illness occurring with one f the group members. After breaking up with the group in 2004 he has been on his musical journey, solo. Singing since a tender age, growing up singing in church and school events he is constantly defined by his peers and associates as being a musical genius, and indeed those terms are in no exaggeration. Although dancehall Reggae deejays (rappers) must be lyrically tough, unleashing rapid-fire guns in the ghetto rhymes and inflated sexual boastings, dancehall singers can attain great popularity sensitively cooing about a new found love, melodically lamenting a love for life and emotionally conveying other oh-so tender concerns of the world and things gone wrong. The sensual, honeyed vocals of Rush has always made him favorable of all he encountered along his musical journey.
