Moses I’s Biography

Anthony Singh, known more popularly by his stage name Moses I, is a Jamaican singer, songwriter and performer. The Kingstonian is known widely as a reggae recording artist who sometimes dabbles in rhythm and blues.

Though he grew up without parents, Moses I was embraced by the Rastafarian community at an early age. This is the foundation for his current way of life, which is evident by his locks and turban. Moses I is a proud Rastafarian.

Having worked as a ball-boy on the soccer field at the University of the West Indies with Bob Marley and other members from the music industry was what inspired him to pursue a career as an artist. His musical history can be traced back to the early 80’s when he worked with some of the biggest producers of that time: Augustus Pablo, Sangie Davis and Gilly Ikas. He was one of the original founders of the David House Crew, which is a Rastafari musical foundation in the district of Papine.

Like many other emerging talents, Moses I had to pay his dues when he was starting out. This meant that although he recorded new music whenever the opportunity presented itself, some of the songs were never released. That being said, he was never deterred. He kept on pushing. He eventually scored a collaboration with Capleton on a song titled “Crazy Look.” The record became a hit earning him tours in Europe and the U.S.A. Around the same time, he released his first full-length studio album, dubbed “More Than A Dream.” It was produced by V-! Productions for the Europe based record label Next Music.

As his name continued to grow in and around music circles, he ended up voicing for “Morgan Heritage and Friends” volumes one and two. He also did several songs for Canadian singer and producer Iley Dread, who is the CEO and owner of King of Kings record label. He even worked with Stephen Marley, voicing for his Ghetto Youth International label.

Over the years Moses I have spent a significant amount of time building up and working on his own record label, Liveon Music. The imprint encompasses Moses I and many other artists, including his sons Jah Lando and Squanny.
