It all started in Kenya, in 1992, where Dominik Haas found the music that would give his life a clear musical direction. He spent his free time wandering through the downtown streets of Nairobi, where he would get his first contacts with Rastafarians and Reggae music. Inspired by the spiritual background of the Rasta culture, he wrote his first poems and started playing the guitar.
As the son of a diplomat, Dominik led a nomadic life, taking him to Kenya, Mexico, Liberia, New York and Egypt. After having spent 15 years abroad, he returned to Germany in 1998 and dedicated his music to a genre that knows neither skin colours nor ideological limitations. In 1999, he settled in Munich, teamed up with the band Dubious Neighbourhood.
Today, Dominik Haas calls himself Jahcoustix. He is one of Germany’s most consistent Reggae musicians, and is considered to be one of the pioneers who got Reggae off the ground in Germany.
Jahcoustix brings a promising symbiosis of Roots and acoustic Reggae.
