Junior Johnson o r ‘KAVAJAH’ has known all his life that he wants to be a musician. He has accepted in recent years that he must be a performer. It is the combination of these two realities that have brought him to where he is today — poised for great things.

From Cumberland, Clarendon and the son of a high school music teacher/church organist, Kavajah has known and appreciated music all his life. He gravitated naturally to the keyboard and played in Sabbath school as a youngster.

As he matured, his disciplined approach to life and his desire to find his true self, led him to the Rastafari faith, which he has embraced wholeheartedly. While not a popular transition in the eyes of many at the time, he has over time garnered the respect, understanding and support of those around him and is a wonderful representation of the order.

Since music was his destiny he formed his first formal band "Attack" in the mid 1990's, playing extensively throughout Clarendon and Manchester. This led to his introduction to a major producer in the business who worked with him on his first recording effort, "Trod On". While not a chartbuster, the song enlightened and encouraged Kavajah to keep the faith and to continue reaching for his goals hi the business.

He entered the popular "Portmore Startime" competition, gaining confidence, experience and knowledge along the way. His style, ambitions and willingness to work hard garnered the attention of producers from Gumption Productions, who recorded his next single "Wake Up" which he performed on TVJ. The association with Gumption Productions has continued and the company is working closely with Kavajah to continue his growth in the industry on all levels.
