Jamiah was 1 of 2 born April 21, 1995, in the south suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. He had a singing mother and a multi-instrumental father whose main instrument was guitar. At age 3, Jamiah started playing drums at school, church, and his fathers band, The Tony Rogers Band. Jamiah enjoys all genres of music such as Blues, Funk, Rock, Reggae, Soul and R&B. Inspirations and heroes are Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, Freddie King, B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters.
Even though drums were Jamiah’s first instrument, at age 7, Jamiah’s parents encouraged him to pick up the guitar and the occasional father/son lessons began. Jamiah also is a multi instrumentalist. Drums, guitar, bass, piano, organ, are all extensions of Jamiah’s musical genius but guitar and drums are his first loves.
At age of 15, he started his first power trio band “Jamiah On Fire & The Red Machine” as the Lead vocalist and guitarist . Jamiah and his father are a winning team when it comes to writing, creating, and producing. Being able to be original and letting people hear your thought and ideas is what inspires Jamiah to record and write original music.
Jamiah recorded 2 cd’s named “Taking the stage”(2012) and “Winners Never Quit”(2015). They performed in and out of state and also performed in Canada and Amsterdam. In 2017, Jamiah recorded his first solo release “Blues Superman”. The concept of the “Blues Superman” is a hero who is saving the blues and keeping it alive. People always ask Jamiah “How does he feel about the blues, and what does he see in the future of the blues?” His response, “The Blues feels great, it lives through us all, and it will never die”.
Through his career, Jamiah has made a special appearance on the Experience Hendrix(2010) concert and closed the concert out with Billy Cox, at the Chicago Theatre. He is also no stranger to Canada. Trois-Rivieres, Ottawa, Montreal, Mont-Tremblant, and Sherbrooke are just some cities in Canada that Jamiah loves to perform. In 2018, Jamiah toured Europe and France with 2019 BMA “Soul And R&B female of the year” Annika Chambers on the New Blues Generation Tour. In 10 years, Jamiah will be releasing more music, eventually from his own label, performing on more tours, and keeping the blues alive for the younger generation as well as his own.
