RELEASES:
Born Anthony Martin in Spanish Town, Saint Catherine Parish, Jamaica, Lutan Fyah is a singer, songwriter and member of the Rastafari movement Bobo Shanti. Before dedicating himself fully to music, he studied Architecture at the University of Technology and played professional football for Constant Spring F.C., bringing the same discipline and focus into the musical path that would later define his career.
Emerging in 1999 under the name Lutan Fyah, he began recording with Buju Banton’s Gargamel Records before building a catalogue that spans roots reggae, dancehall, dub and conscious music. His early albums with Lustre Kings and Minor 7 Flat 5 helped establish him as a powerful new voice in Jamaican music, while collaborations with artists such as Turbulence, Luciano, Johnny Live and Beenie Man expanded his reach across the international reggae community.
Over the years, Lutan Fyah has released numerous singles through labels in Jamaica, the United States and the UK, while also appearing across compilation albums and featured releases.
His work with Jah Warrior includes tracks such as “Never Surrender My Faith”, “Let Righteousness Be Your Guide”, “Jah Is Living” featuring Khalilah Rose, and “Crab Inna Barrel”. He has also crossed into wider global sounds, including a feature on Rusko’s dubstep release “Sound Guy Is My Target”.
With performances at major reggae events including Uppsala Reggae Festival, and tours across Europe and Africa, Lutan Fyah has built a reputation as a committed live performer and cultural messenger. His album “Life of a King” marked a major chapter in his catalogue, followed by international touring and a birthday concert in Jamaica featuring names including Chezidek, Jah Mason, Fantan Mojah, Jah Cure, Gyptian, Sizzla, Ninjaman and Popcaan.
Rooted in Rastafari faith, social commentary and upliftment, Lutan Fyah’s music continues to speak to audiences seeking truth, resistance and spiritual strength through reggae.
