A very creative writer who put words together like Scrables. Real name is Jihad Jean-Jacques who is the 3rd child but 2nd son on his mother's side. He started his musical journey at approximately the age of 7years old singing with other primary shchool colleages. One man, two words, three syllables,it's the unpredictable and undeniable Smokie Cut. Very humble from the first approach and has a warm welcoming spirit of truth and Positivity.
Inspired by many great top artist from all over the world, Bob Marley, Buju Banton, Sizzla ,Bounty Killa, Beenie Man, Yellow Man,Skinny Banton etc...He decided to follow a trend in which he knew was going to be a deep river to cross and steep mountain to climb to reach his destiny. He got exposure to a recording studio in 2003 which gave him the opportunity to record a 5 song demo which was actually completed in one day at Stevin “Ghost” Jno.
Baptiste studio. He wakes up with music on his mind, usually skips morning breakfast and starts writing rhymes and also always has a new chorus or bright idea after he comes out from the shower. Getting a lot of positive feedbacks and support from his immediate family, friends, encouraged him to continue his quest to musical success. Smokie Cut is a different than the average artist out there and is continuing to keep being solo until he meets the right set of people to do collaborations with.
Although growing up due to lack of equipment in the studio, he still tried to make the best out of the limited resources he worked with. Over the years he became a stronger, sensual and realistic writer, who from day one picked up the pen and pad promising never to let it go. It's very courageous and amazing to see that where he comes from Music is one of the hardest ways to make it in life however it motivates him even more to try harder.
He's a Multi talented young man who’s known to be involved in numerous genres of music such as Reggae, Dancehall, Rap, R&B, Soca and Dominica's own "Bouyon" Listening to his music play on local radio stations, viewers opinion thinks his music is head to head with international American and Jamaican recording artists. In 2009 Smokie Cut recorded and video directed an exclusive jingle for one of Jamaica's biggest entertainment programs entitled"Doe Watch Me Watch Yourself" which is REtv's Slogan.
With this well put together song, shocked thousands across the Caribbean region which made him somewhat recognized by many. Also, he recently released a smashing hit single/video shot by REtv in Jamaica entitled "Nah Back Down" on the Beach Front Riddim in January 2010.
The riddim was produced by Head Concussion Music. Without any management team nor help, he keeps on striving for excellence. From day one till now, all his material, video directing/editing works and efforts are done by him. Smokie Cut is currently in the studio writing rhymes and lyrically equipping himself for anything... Hoping to get signed by a major record label some day.
