Fiyah B was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY by his Barbadian mother. Listening to Jay Z at school and Square One at home, his upbringing reflected a fusion of American and Bajan cultures and he developed a deep appreciation for music.
Fiyah’s mother tried to shelter him from the rough side of New York but he always had a rebellious spirit and it was only a matter of time before he was sneaking out to run the streets in his teenage years. That’s when Fiyah B was introduced to Jamaican dancehall culture, Rastafarianism and Buju Banton, whose “Inna Heights” album would lead him into the world of reggae music.
After 9/11, Fiyah B moved from NYC to Delaware and started promoting reggae/dancehall parties and shows like the events he attended back in Brooklyn and started to build a name for himself in the music industry. His love affair with reggae music continued, and the artists he worked with inspired Fiyah B to record a few reggae tracks of his own.
