After becoming disillusioned with the music industry, emerging Rastafarian artist Sheldon Gava opted to take a brief hiatus that lasted approximately two years. It was only through his association with like-minded music enthusiasts at large-scale, multi-genre music festivals that he began to rekindle his passion for combining words and melodies. 

With his renewed excitement for creating tunes, Sheldon Gava has decided to get back in the game. As such, he will be releasing a new track titled “Read” on January 1, 2025. While making the announcement, Gava said the following: “New Year’s Day represents a new beginning, growth, and wishful thinking of changing for the better. “Read” answers the question, Should old acquaintances be forgotten? Yes, whenever necessary.”

Sheldon Gava was born in Old Harbor Bay, St. Catherine, Jamaica, but grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Among his discography is a ten-track album titled “Natty De Ras,” which was released in October 2020 on his own Gava Music LLC label. That was followed by “Weather Change,” a seven-track EP that was officially published on April 30th, 2021.
