It’s a city where many don’t make it out and make something out of themselves, but the ones that have and are on their way out will all tell you, “it made me who I am.” 

 

How does your creative process differ now compared to when you started?

 It’s a lot easier to write and come up with things. I also critique my verses and hooks more than before.

 

If you could take anyone in the world dead or alive for dinner, who would it be?

 

My mom

-Do you prefer recording or performing live? And why?

 

Performing live. As for myself when I’m on that stage I feel extremely comfortable and lose my mind, in a good way lol. Feel like I’m supposed to be there and I make fun out of it every time.

Yonatan’s “Jah Is My Guide” is a soulful journey rooted in faith and island vibes

h

Yonatan, the gifted singer from the pulsating island of Martinique, shares his latest spiritual track, “Jah Is My Guide.” This recording is a spiritual song inspired by the timeless Psalms of David, a unique combination of soulful music and a message of faith and inspiration. “Jah Is My Guide” envelops the listener in a tuneful sense of sincerity. Yonatan’s sound boasts authenticity, encouraging listeners to life’s ups and downs through spiritual affirmation. Using the Psalms for inspiration, the song taps a universal longing for strength, wisdom, and protection, which, as themes, never really become aged but instead seem incredibly personal and relatable.

What stands out about this single is the way in which Yonatan is able to incorporate that island reach into the music, however, without sacrificing its holy essence. The rhythms subtly bounce toward Martinique’s rich musical heritage, which gives the song a vital heartbeat that manages to feel both contemporary and timeless. It’s a potent reminder of how old-time spirituality and newfangled artistry mesh seamlessly. Listeners will feel enveloped in a meditative bubble, each verse like a conversation with the divine. Production is slick and slick, taking a backseat to Yonatan’s vocals and the depth in the lyrics. For Yonatan, “Jah Is My Guide” has become a testament to the inspiring power and hope that music can provide.

It provides a spiritual compass for those of us adrift on the uncertain waters of life, and we are all reminded that when faith is our guide, we are never lost both for peace and direction. “Jah Is My Guide” is simply a must listen for lovers of music that feeds the soul and taps into deep spiritual concepts. Yonatan has written a song that reflects the venerable tradition of the Psalms and celebrates his special island identity, a mix that carries with it the potential to inspire and uplift across lands and lifetimes.
