ZAGGA
Chimney Records artist Austill Henry, known more to his fans and peers by his stage name ZAGGA,
born on the 17th of June 1990 the 21 year old musician had his sight
set at an early age to achieve greatness within the music industry and
life itself. Zagga has been doing music from the tender age of 10. While attending Ocho Rios Primary school he was known to be knocking on desk tops with his hands to make beats that would bring out his flavor in dancehall/reggae, showcasing his marvelous talent. His peers would all listen, dance, cheer and encourage the aspiring artist to continue doing music. Upon his advancement to Ocho Rios High School he performed in most of the school’s events. ”I can even recall modeling for the black history month celebration, I was Mr. Ethiopia and got 1st runner up and after modeling I ripped the stage up with a smashing performance” Zagga says. At 12 years old moving on to 13 Zagga was introduced to hip hop/rap music by his friends “Blaze and Bollo”. His first hip hop icons were DMX and slim shady and did he enjoy their music! He then started to gravitate towards hip hop, exploring it and discovering its cultures as well as the different hip hop artists and what they had to offer. Now with all that knowledge and years of listening, he has managed to effectively merge the style of hip hop, dancehall/reggae and pop so that fans and veterans of the music industry can acknowledge as well as enjoy and see the potential in it.
