==Biography==
Jah Mason was born in Jamaica's Manchester Parish, and grew up in a Christian family.〔Jeffries, David "(Jah Mason Biography )", ''Allmusic'', Macrovision Corporation, retrieved 2 January 2010〕〔"(Jah Mason Biography )", VP Records, retrieved 2 January 2020〕 During his childhood, he was nicknamed Perry Mason for his ability to resolve disputes, and it was under this name that his debut single "Selassie I Call We" was released in 1991 on Junior Reid's JR record label.〔 In 1995 he joined the Bobo Ashanti order of the Rastafari movement, and began performing and recording as Jah Mason after linking up with the David House group.〔〔 He had hits in Jamaica with "My Princess Gone" and "Lion Look", and also made guest appearances on singles by his friend Jah Cure.〔 His first albums came in 2002 with ''Keep Your Joy'' and ''Working So Hard''. Since then he has released albums at a rate of more than one a year, including ''Wheat and Tears'' and ''Princess Gone...The Saga Bed'', both released in 2006 on Greensleeves Records and VP Records respectively, and the latter distributed by Warners.〔Jeffries, David "(''Princess Gone...The Saga Bed'' Review )", ''Allmusic'', Macrovision Corporation, retrieved 2 January 2010〕 The ''Jamaica Gleaner'', reviewing ''Wheat and Tears'', commented on a lack of originality in Jah Mason's work but went on to say "clichés notwithstanding, the album is musical, and for hardcore reggae fans, the disc should provide enough of a vibe to chill with."〔"(No new tales here! )", ''Jamaica Gleaner'', 6 October 2006, retrieved 2 January 2010〕 David Jeffries of Allmusic described him as "an effortlessly agile artist able to communicate love, pathos, revolution, spirituality, and even sensuality on equal terms."〔
In November 2015 he released his 19th studio album, ''Love & Wisdom''.〔"(Jah Mason Launches New 'Love & Wisdom' Album )", ''Jamaica Gleaner'', 28 November 2015. Retrieved 29 November 2015〕
