Sugarlicks Records Artist - jah'licious Jah'licious really starts with the founder, Ms Zoey Scott-Kalyan (aka Blaque Reign) who was born in England in 1981 with Jamaican and French blood. During her childhood at boarding school Blacque Reign was in school choirs and musicals. In 1993 her family moved to NZ, and in 2001 Blacque Reign went from busking in Queen St Auckland to being enrolled at MAINZ (Music and Audio Institute of NZ). After many painful life lessons and losses she began to experience her roots and felt a passion for music. During this time she had begun to appreciate the guitar and to write her own material. At MAINZ she met drummer Barry Suamili and they started a reggae band called Brethren. After a few personnel changes, the band slowly formed the Jah'licious line up that we have today. Jah’licious has released their debut single on the Sugarlicks compilation 2017 Pacific Ultrasound entitled 'Poor Eyes'. Dominion Post has said, On 2017 the absolute standout track is Poor Eyes. Buoyed by the undulations of a tight funky reggae rhythm, lead singer Zoey’s slight rasp and sassy Lauryn Hill-like delivery allow this deep R&B tune to flow with gentle power. Superb. The band’s second single 'Jammin to music' went to radio May 2005. Their debut album entitled 'Delayed Behaviour' was released in September 2005. Read more on Last.fm.
