Marlon Asher’s talent 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.

“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. His messages are easily conveyed through the poignant lyrics in his songs “Blessings”, “Give Thanks & Praises”, “Love of Jah” and “ Fit & Strong”

Asher was a pioneer of the Trinidadian reggae movement and his first song Ganja Farmersparked controversy in his country despite being a run away hit. In an exclusive interview with the Trinidad and Tobago Express, he answered his critics by explaining what the song meant to him. (read more under the video below) Marlon

“I was never a farmer, but I have friends who are and seeing what they have to go through when police burn their fields inspired me to create the song. People must understand that planters have mouths to feed and this is how they earn a living to do so. Putting aside the fact that herb is life and everything else about that, when you think about the work and money a man puts into his field and then see it being burnt, it’s not easy,”

Marlon JRC_0009-1

“Herb is not for everyone. It have people who will smoke and trip. My music is not about promoting hate and violence, it’s about uplifting people. I may not be able to change the world, but I can lead people into thinking differently about life and living with each other. Also, the lyrics in the song that tell about the rocket launcher, does not mean that people should kill police. I am showing the anger that a farmer has inside when he sees his field being burnt. That anger and frustration is real,”

Jeg har de seneste par år arbejdet intenst på mit første solo album i samarbejde med min bror Alex Ambrose ( 13Beats ) som står for alle

produktionerne på albummet. Samt sammenarbejde med  S.J.P Jeg har altid har haft smag for mange forskellige musikgenrer og fra

barnsben af har jeg både lyttet til danske popikoner såsom Sanne Salomonsen, Anne Linnet og Kim Larsen samt reggaestjerner såsom Inner

Circle, Bob Marley og UB40. Derudover har jeg også lyttet en del til Rap, R&B og det der ellers rører min sjæl. Alle disse har sat sit præg på udviklingen af mit album.

Min drøm med mit album og min musik er at sprede masser af kærlighed og glæde. Vække følelser frem i andre mennesker på den den ene eller

anden måde. Musik for mig ER MIT LIV..!
