About
The group was formed in January 2008 by Claude Nteye from Burundi with Gary Ward & Jill Casson from Lancashire festival favourites Gone Beggin'. After a series of successful gigs, Nteye left to engage in new musical projects in the south coast town of Brighton.
The band are now fronted by experienced singer-songwriter Yesika Zevulana. Born in Portland, Jamaica, Yesika developed a love of soul music whilst singing in church as a youngster. Her soulful voice and songwriting skills have seen Yesika work with Sly and Robbie, Junior Reed, Cocoa Tea, luciano and Chris Blackwell, singing background vocals for Island Records.
Alongside Yesika is former Beatroot drummer Dylan Avery and young guitarist Nick Murphy; Gary Ward & Jill Casson remain in the band on bass and keyboards.
Jah Mission Vibes play a mixture of roots reggae, dub and ska and during their short time together have started to build a following in East Lancs.
The band can also play an instrumental dub based set when required. These gigs are usually marked "(instrumental)"
