== Biografie ==
== Early Career ==
Ras Daan Jah kwam al op vroege leeftijd in aanraking met allerlei soorten muziek dankzij zijn ouders, die hem al zeer vroeg meenamen naar allerlei concerten. Op 13 jarige leeftijd na een reis naar de [[Verenigde Staten]] kwam hij echter in aanraking met [[Oldskool hiphop|old-school hip hop]] [[muziek]] en al snel werd hij verliefd op dit genre en besloot hij zich hier verder in te verdiepen. Toevallig kreeg hij enkele weken later als schoolopdracht om een rap tekst te schrijven, hij was de enige van zijn klas die hier voor met grootste onderscheiding voor sloeg en zijn muziek leraar vroeg hem deze a capella voor te dragen. Zijn leraar en klasgenoten waren hier zo van onder de indruk dat zij hem aanmoedigden om hier meer me te doen en verder in te gaan, dit werd dus zijn hobby en favoriete bezigheid. Een jaar later vormde hij met een klasgenoot en goede vriend die [[Beatbox|beatboxt]] een duo om de mensen op straat en op school te entertainen. Ras Daan Jah schreef in zijn tienerjaren meer dan 300 teksten. Tijdens een vakantie in [[Jamaica]] enkele jaren later kwam hij in aanraking met enkele Rastafari en de cultuur, en besloot zich hier echter verder in te verdiepen. 2 jaar later besloot hij om terug te gaan naar Jamaica om meer over de Rastafari cultuur bij te leren tussen echte rasta’s. Hier werd hij helemaal verliefd op deze cultuur en op het land en besloot om voortaan verder door het leven te gaan als rasta en [[nazireeër]] en besloot dus ook om onder andere sinds dan zijn haar niet meer te knippen. Hij maakte vervolgens ook de overstap van hip hop naar roots reggae en [[Dancehall|ragga/dancehall]]. Echter pas in zijn vroege twintiger jaren besloot hij van muziek effectief meer van te maken dan enkel een hobby en besloot hij zijn songs professioneel op te nemen en uit te brengen. Zijn debuut album [[The Storybook of Ras Daan Jah]] was dus geen hip hop zoals iedereen vroeger zou verwacht hebben maar reggae in een vorm van verhalen die hij vertelde alsof het zijn eigen geschreven verhalenboek was op een reggae beat.


== Carrière ==
Ras Daan Jah grew up as a child with all kinds of music at an early age thanks to his parents, who took him to all kinds of concerts very early. At the age of 13 after a trip to the United States, he came into contact with old-school hip hop music and soon fell in love with this genre and decided to learn more about it. Coincidentally, a few weeks later he was given a school assignment to write a rap text, he was the only one in his class to pass this with the highest distinction and congratulations of the examination committee and his music teacher asked him to perform his lyrics acapella. His teacher and classmates were so impressed by this that they encouraged him to do more with it and get into it deeper, so this became his hobby and favorite activity. A year later he formed a duo with a classmate and good friend who beatboxed to entertain people on the street and at school. Ras Daan Jah wrote over 300 lyrics in his teens. During a holiday in Jamaica a few years later, he came into contact with some Rastafari people and the culture, and decided to study more about this. 2 years later he decided to go back to Jamaica to learn more about the Rastafari culture among real Rastas and he stayed with them between them for almost 3 months. Here he fell completely in love with this culture and with the country and decided to continue through life as a Rasta and Nazarite and therefore decided not to cut his hair anymore. During his stay he was Baptist by a priest of the Nyabinghi Order, the oldest mansion of Rastafari. Soon after he also made the switch from hip hop to roots reggae and ragga/dancehall. However, it wasn't until his early twenties that he decided to effectively make music more than just a hobby and decided to record and release his songs professionally. His debut album The Storybook of Ras Daan Jah was therefore not hip hop as everyone would have expected in the past, but reggae in the form of stories that he told as if it were his own written storybook to a reggae beat.
The Storybook of Ras Daan Jah is een album vol met verhalen zoals de naam al doet vermoeden, alsof hij een verhaaltje voor het slapengaan zou vertellen. De verhalen gaan over allerlei verschillende thema’s maar het was Ras Daan Jah zijn bedoeling om aan de hand van deze zelf verzonnen verhalen, volwassenen en vooral kinderen te waarschuwen over de gevaren en fouten die schuil gaan in het leven indien u de verkeerde keuzes maakt en niet voorzichtig genoeg bent. En ook om op te letten met andere mensen en niet zo maar iedereen te vertrouwen want niet iedereen heeft de beste intenties met u voor. Maar wel om zelf altijd goed te zijn voor anderen ook al zijn deze misschien niet altijd goed voor u. Ook zijn er songs over wereldproblemen zoals [[racisme]] en [[armoede]]. Ook zijn er enkele songs waarin hij zijn liefde voor Jah en rasta en Afrikanen toont. Al deze verhalen bevatten een grappige of trieste inhoud. Wat dit album extra leuk maakt om naar te luisteren zijn al de stemmen van kleine kinderen tot oude vrouwen die Ras Daan Jah allemaal zelf doet.


== Musical Career ==


Hij is ook eigenaar van een [[Geluidsstudio|muziekstudio]] (Little Africa) en is ook oprichter van de groep [[Little Africa United]] die hij vormt met enkele van zijn [[Mentor (begeleider)|protegés, waar hij mentor van is]].


== Persoonlijk Leven ==
The Storybook of Ras Daan Jah is an album full of stories as the name suggests, as if he would tell a bedtime story. The stories deal with all kinds of different themes, but it was Ras Daan Jah's intention to use these self-made stories to warn adults and especially children about the dangers and mistakes hidden in life if you make the wrong choices and if you are not careful enough. And also to watch out for other people and not just trust everyone because not everyone has the best intentions for you. But to always be good to others, even if they may not always be good for you. There are also songs about world problems such as racism and poverty. The album also include some songs in which he praises Jah and show his love for Rasta and Africans and black people.
Ras Daan Jah is zeer strikt in zijn voeding en is [[Veganisme|veganist]] en eet enkel [[biologische voeding]]. Het meeste van zijn [[Biologische landbouw|voeding komt uit zijn eigen tuin]] en eet slechts enkele stukken fruit als ontbijt en een warme maaltijd met vooral groenten als avondmaal. De rest van de tijd eet hij niet omwille van [[vasten]] tussen hem en Jah. Hij is zeer strikt in zijn Rastafari manier van leven en heeft echt zijn hele leven toegewijd aan Jah. Ook al is hij blank, hij is één van de striktste rasta’s wereldwijd. Voor hem is iedereen gelijk en zal ieder goed persoon ooit naar Afrika terug keren, de plaats waar wij allemaal vandaan komen volgens hem. Ras Daan Jah is ook Nazireeër en is daarom absoluut tegen het gebruik van alcohol, drugs of roken. Ook is het voor hem absoluut niet toegestaan om zijn haar te knippen en vermijd hij elke aanraking met de dood (geen begrafenissen of grafbezoek). Ook al is het gebruik van [[Cannabis (drug)|marihuana]] bij de rasta’s populair, gebruikt Ras Daan Jah dit niet, "ik gebruik dit niet en zal dit ook nooit gebruiken. Ik ben al in een hogere plateau met Jah dus heb dit zeker niet nodig". Het gebruik van marihuana wordt veel te makkelijk misbruikt door te zeggen ik ben rasta door personen die helemaal geen rasta zijn of gebruiken het niet met de juiste intentie. Het wordt gebruikt om tot rust te komen of u van de wereld af te zonderen en hier dient dit heilige kruid niet voor volgens hem. Dit dient enkel om te genezen in plaats van [[Farmaceutische industrie|farmaceutische medicatie]]. Ras Daan Jah is ook geen voorstander van zoals hij het noemt “[[Wannabe (gedrag)|wolven in schapenkleren]]” dit zijn personen die [[dreadlocks]] hebben maar niets van rasta weten en deze levenswijze een slechte naam geven. Hij vindt dat dreadlocks enkel gereserveerd zijn voor echte rasta’s.


Ras Daan Jah is bovendien ook een persoon die vecht tegen racisme en gelijke rechten voor iedereen. Hij geniet er ook van om de mensen te entertainen en om de mensen bij te leren over gezond, leven, de natuur en de Rastafari manier van leven.
All these stories contain a funny or sad content. What makes this album extra fun to listen to are all the voices from small children to old women that Ras Daan Jah does all by himself.
 
== Personal life ==
 
 
Ras Daan Jah is very strict in his diet and is vegan and only eats organic/ital food.
 
Most of his food comes from his own garden. He eats only a few pieces of fruit for breakfast and a hot meal with mostly vegetables for dinner. The rest of the time he doesn't eat because of fasting and praying between him and Jah.
 
He is very strict in his Rastafarian way of life and has truly devoted his whole life to God. However he is white, he is one of the strictest rasta worldwide. To him everyone is equal and every good person will one day return to Africa, the place where we all come from.
 
Ras Daan Jah is also a Nazarite and is therefore absolutely against the use of alcohol, drugs or smoking. He is also absolutely not allowed to cut his hair and he avoids any contact with death (no funerals or grave visits). Even though marijuana use is popular among the rastas, Ras Daan Jah does not use it, “I do not use ganja and will never use this. I'm already in a higher level with Jah so definitely don't need this. The use of marijuana is way too easily abused by saying I am rasta by persons who are not rasta at all or do not use it with the right intention. It is used to relax or to take your mind away from the world for some time and this sacred herb is not made for this according to him. Ganja should onle be used as a healing medicine instead of pharmaceutical medicines. Ras Daan Jah doesn’t like what he calls "wolves in sheep's clothing", these are people who have dreadlocks but know nothing about rasta and give this way of life a bad name. He thinks dreadlocks are only reserved for real rastafari.
 
 
Ras Daan Jah is also a person who fights against racism and equal rights for all. He also enjoys entertaining the people and educating the people about health, life, food, nature and the Rastafarian way of life.
