Marlon Asher, a native Trinidadian started singing at the
age of 7 in the choir of his grandparent’s church. The name
" Asher" was derived from the 12 tribes of Israel and
"Asher"
is the tribe which represents December and the spirit of
Christ.
His musical style is that of a conscious reggae artist and
he cites Bob Marley, Dennis Brown and Barrington Levy as
some of his musical mentors.
Marlon feels that reggae touches his soul and he wants to
communicate that extension of spiritual soulfulness with the
world. A gifted musician, Marlon teaches musical arrangement
of the steelpan, the national instrument of Trinidad and
Tobago, to young enthusiasts with an average age range of 7-
17years.
Marlon Asher talent and ingenuity was revealed with the
release of the song "Ganja Farmer" which became a huge hit
via aggressive underground marketing. The song ‘Ganja
Farmer’ was derived from an older selection named ‘Ganja
Man’, which was also written by Asher. Asher maintains that
he is not a ganja farmer and that the song does not promote
the cultivation or use of the illegal substance. However, he
hopes to create an awareness for the work that farmers do,
and to be mindful, that regardless of their crop, destroying
any farm takes away someone’s livelihood.
Marlon has been performing throughout Trinidad and Tobago ,
the Caribbean as well as the United States. He has taken the
stage amongst renowned performers such as Damien
"Jr. Gong"
Marley, Beenie Man, Shaggy, Maxi Priest, Sizzla and even R&B
sensation Boys II Men.
Since his debut in the United States
at Reggae Carifest in July 2005,
Marlon has been performing
extensively in the Tri State area as well as in Miami,
Toronto,
Baltimore, Boston, Virginia and in 2006 he will
perform his music in Europe as well as Japan and Africa.
Asher feels that he has been blessed and his future is one
that will involve him singing. He said “God has his plans
for me. I believe I am a messenger here to deliver a
serious message. I am just waiting for him [God] to reveal
his message. Asher has a message for the youth:
"your
talent should never go to waste"
with God all things are possible. Pray hard and you will
succeed.
Marlon’s preview album was produced by Carl Beaver
Henderson in Trinidad. He is co-managed by brother
and sister duo Geron Big G Woodruffe and Anje Woodruffe of
Caribbean Underground Productions.
With the success of the Ganja Farmer, Marlon has now
released the love song I love you on the same riddim and
has been performing his new tracks Love of Jah, Standing and the title track of the album
"Locked out".
