Biography

Debut album "Dirt To Bentley" OUT NOW. VP Records 🇯🇲 
 Jahvillani is one of the most exciting new faces in modern Jamaican dancehall. Born Dujon Edwards, the artist hails from a rural neighborhood called Great Pond that sits in St. Ann, Ocho Rios located on Jamaica’s northern coast. He lived between Great Pond and St. Mary, a neighboring parish, as he worked towards completing his primary school education until finally in 2011, he graduated Ocho Rios High School. As a student, he started writing verses and became a campus favorite after three energetic performances. It was only natural that he transitioned to recording and pursuing music full time, which he did after completing his studies. He decided that he would perform under the moniker “Jahvillani,” a name forged through thinking about balance. Says the artist, “The name Jahvillani is a portmanteau, one that was deeply inspired by my views of society. ‘Jah,’ which means God in Rastafarianism, symbolizes the good in society and the good that is hopefully in everyone. While ‘villani’ is a creative twist on villain which speaks to the evil in society. Together it makes Jahvillani: the Wile$ide Gad who makes positive vibes, but also comments on the negatives in society, through his music.”
