BIOGRAPHY

Desbert Jonhson aka CHEZIDEK was born on June 20, 1973 in Jamaica. He began singing first at school gigs and became a member of the St Ann's Bay Marching Band. Since 2002, and his first album Harvest Time released on the Xterminator label, Chezidek has continued to grow. Author of several hits, "Leave The Trees" (2004), "Call Pon Dem" (2007), "Bun Di Ganja" (2008) or the essential "All My Life" (2013) which totals nearly 40 million views on YouTube, the Jamaican from St Ann's Bay has worked with big names in reggae from Sly & Robbie veterans to the most contemporary, Capleton, Lutan Fyah or Mark Wonder. The release in 2007 of his 4th opus Inna Di Road on Greensleeves will open the doors to prestigious stages, from Jamaica to the United States via Europe. One of his songs can even be found in the famous GTA video game. Driven by the Rastafari culture, the singer puts his angelic voice at the service of justice and seizes on political and spiritual subjects. In Europe, it is alongside Irie Ites that he will perform several remarkable tours following the release of his hit “Bun Di Ganja” but also for other singles such as “Mr Officer” feat. King Lorenzo or "War Monger". With 13 albums to their credit and numerous singles, CHEZIDEK confirms their prominent place on the current reggae scene.
