Suriname-born and Amsterdam-based, Jah Decko brings
authentic roots reggae with a modern edge.
Conscious lyrics, deep grooves and a powerful live band make
his show a strong fit for reggae festivals, clubs and cultural
events in 2027.
Jah Decko born as Darl Douglas in Paramaribo, Suriname,
came to the Netherlands at a young age with his mother. He grew up in disadvantaged neighborhoods in Amsterdam.
He showed a lot of talent for football at a young age and was scouted at the age of 11 by the Amsterdam professional football organization Ajax.
He grew into a professional football player and kept it up for
14 years. During his football career he discovered that he also
had another love, and that is music...mainly reggae.
In 2003 he started the formation Dreddayouthz — offering something that had never been done before by other Surinamese artists: singing Surinamese lyrics on roots reggae riddims. The concept was a local success and many performances followed.
During this period, Jah Decko produced the tracks of Dreddayouthz in collaboration with his cousin Marvin Nijhove.
In 2011 he released the album “Modern Rockers Vol 1” by Joggo with
hit songs such as “Beware & Peace & Love”, in 2012 the EPs “Liberation
& Liberation 2.0” by Ziggi Recado and in 2015 “Mount Zion”
by Miriam Simone.
After a number of years of producing, Jah Decko released
the EP RASTAFARI-I WAY in 2020. On this EP he introduces his
BoBo Ashanti brother Ras Mendel.
Because Reggae music is universal, Jah Decko decided to record
English tracks around the Corona/Covid crisis.
The productions of these tracks are in the name of Jah Decko (drums & Bass), Jacques Nagelhout (Guitar, Bass, drums) &
Marvin Nijhove (keyboards, piano).
From the beginning, Jah Decko has been known as an artist
who brings socially critical lyrics, and produces deep roots
rock reggae riddims.
This will be no different on his upcoming debut album
LOVE WHO LOVES YOU BACK (sung in English) to be released
October 5, 2026
Jah Decko is a versatile personality with a clear mission:
releasing music with a message and soul.
