Introducing Oba Simba...the quiet warrior

Oba Simba was born in December 1971 at a place called Heartease in the parish of St Thomas but grew up in Allman Town in central Kingston. He attended Trench Town High School where his excellent performances made him a star appearing on many concerts and stage shows.

Oba Simba is the quintessential quiet warrior. He has a quiet reserve and confidence that projects the threat that nothing can derail him and radiates an easy authority without even a hint of arrogance.

There are a few men who could have survived the ugly reserves in life experienced by Oba Simba with not only resilience and determination but incredible grace as well. He is not embittered by a tragedy that has left him physically challenged that may have broken a lesser man. But then, Oba Simba is not just any man. In 2007, while working on a survey boat, he was involved in a horrific accident that slashed his left foot, injuring him permanently.

The injury sheared off his left instep and foot and sidelined him from the music business for some years. He now needs special orthopedic shoes that enable him to walk, “it's the experiences in life that shapes who you are, this whole thing taught me an important lesson that I can overcome anything. I just firm myself up and continue life's journey”, he said.

The name Oba Simba is an amalgamated word that means King of the Lions. Oba is a Yoruba word that means “King” and Simba is Swahili for “Lion”. He officially changed his name to Oba Simba a few years ago, effectively banishing what he called “my Babylon tag”.

Oba Simba’s crisp clear vocals and his well-written thought provoking lyrics are a revelation in an industry which has become too obsessed with bling and trigger-pulling and he has returned to the music business with a bouncy single called “Shape of the Century” a feel-good romantic Ballad that harkens of the gentler, kinder days of reggae music. “Just something any reggae lover can rock to and to make a woman feel good about herself without being offensive as I speak about her assets and attributes. “He said laughing. The video is a favorite amongst viewers on local television and on the internet.

Oba Simba first tasted success with the single "The Herb” on the “Sugar Riddim”followed by "Whistling Bird" on the "Je T'aime riddim"; which then lead to the Whistling Bird EP put out by Special Delivery Music. He appeared on several releases including “Cellblock Link Up Vol 1” featuring Oba Simba, Buju Banton and Anthony B. He was asked to cover "Crazy ballheads for a tribute to Bob marley album produced by alain nkossi konda called “A Timeless Vibration”.

Another single "She's Hot" featuring Buppy is a soundtrack in the movie "Whitney” directed by Angela Bassett.

In 2014 he released a album called "This Is the Moment" with El Siervo, a rapper from Spain.

He also appeared on the Irie Ites, Yard Art Music and Goldcup Records label with tunes such as “Man a Warrior”, "Love Anatomy" and “One Slide” respectively: all base in Europe. His two most recent releases are "Into My World " on the Conselecta Label in Germany and "Blessings on Me" on the Sunvibes Record out of Jamaica and the US are getting great review on the reggae scene.

Oba Simba thrilled the audience during the MIDEM Music Conference 2007 in France sharing a stage with musical heavyweights such as Shaggy, Etana, Tessanne Chin, Daville and more. In 2009, he was a finalist in the Jamaica Cultural Development Commissions Annual Festival contest and was awarded most decipline artist.

He has performed on many shows such as Fully Loaded, Spice in the Hills, Jamaica Vibes, Wickie Wackie, Jamnesia, Yenkassa and more,
