Labelled
as the REGGAE AMBASSADOR, Iqulah
continues the mission of great reggae artistes, such as Bob
Marley, to bring reggae and Rasta to the four corners of the
Earth.
In 1985, IQULAH, who's name
represents Integrity, Quality,
Unity and Love
for Africa as Home,
set up his own label, Mozziah, to release a number of 7in disks
to kick start his musical career in Jamaica.
Not long after, Iqulah and his band, Gideon Force, released
their debut album, Rasta Philosophy,
which featured amongst many vocalists, Marcia Griffiths and
Judy Mowatt on harmonies. This album marked a significant time
for Iqulah and Gideon Force, when they decided to leave the
Jamaican shores to tour the continents, carrying the Rasta message
across many borders. Iqulah broke many barriers with his live
performances and became the first Jamaican reggae band to perform
in Estonia, Russia. |

He
returned to Jamaica and concentrated on writing his second
album, The Mission, which
was released in 1993. Soon after, Iqulah began touring
again and quickly established himself as a legendary performer,
taking his audiences into higher spiritual height. The
press hailed him as the "High
Priest Of Reggae". With his unique charisma
and strong African presentation, Iqulah touched thousands
of his audiences across the world, Germany, Holland, Scandinavia,
Russia, Africa, the Far East, to name but a few. |

Iqulah
spent many years on the road, touring many countries, but his
greatest fulfilment was reached when he arrived home - Africa.
Iqulah and Gideon Force performed in many stadiums, notably
Malawi, South Africa, Mali, Tanzania, Sudan, Zimbabwe, but his
highest elation was completed in 1997, when he performed in
Maskal Square, Ethiopia in front of 80,000 people.
In 1998, Iqulah retired from touring to join the lecture circuit.
He spent a few years in Jamaica, organising and opening an international
Rasta Centre in St. Ann's,
his home parish.
In 2004, Iqulah has return to the music industry with the launch
of his current album Rastafari
4 Eva. His prophetic messages are as strong as ever, acknowledging
current events and offering words of strength and clarity to
all. A solid team of Jamaican's best musicians present the authentic
sound of the King's music with the progressive reggae beat that
Iqulah's fans have come to expect. |

Asked to describe Rastafari
4 Eva, Iqulah smiled and said, "Stronger I n'
I stronger, stronger than before, Rastafari is the All
Mighty!" |
