Jahson who performed with The Drifters for five years said: “One thing I know about music is it takes time to grow, I do remember the days of shaking in my boots to sing just one song. All of life is about being a small insignificant to a wise old Oak.”

Ika is new soul sound hailing from the West Midlands. He fuses new soul beats to traditional soul melodies.
