His passion for music ignited through friendships and the influence of artists like Supercat. Initially an audio engineer at Jah Over Evil Studio, Eesah worked with both emerging and established artists before a pivotal encounter with veteran artist Little Joe, who encouraged him to pursue singing. Eesah recorded his first track, “Red, Purple, Green and Yellow,” and later joined the 12 Tribes of Israel movement, which deepened his spiritual foundation.
