Malachi-Phree Jasiah, better known as JASIAH, is a
22-year old (born October 19, 1996), up-and-coming artist with incredible vocal
talent, hailing from Dayton, Ohio. He graduated from Stivers School for the Arts and attended Marietta
College, where he learned about music theory and the art of performing. He is also a songwriter and producer that has worked with the likes of Ronny J and
DJ Carnage. His music is divisible in two parts, JASIAH and PHREE.
JASIAH (pronounced /djah-
sai-ah/), formerly stylised as JA$IAH, is his new and aggressive self, where he portrays strong, often violent and aggressive emotion through screaming and high energy vocals. This persona draws strong inspiration from artist
XXXTENTACION, who sadly passed away due to an unfortunate event. This inspiration is clear in songs, like “This For My Young Niggas Who Listen To Soulja Boy” where JASIAH addresses serious topics like depression and self-harm. He also made a tribute track for X titled “R.I.P. X”.
PHREE, formerly PhreeTheRapper, is his less popular, but older account where he uploaded his first track, as an artist, in November of 2014 titled “WordPlay”. PHREE tends to be more upbeat and happy, which really shows his versatility and
talent.
Another persona of his that is virtually unknown is PhreeTheKid, this was his moniker for when he’d be credited as a producer or
DJ. It was short-lived from
2016 until early 2017.
