about

“Clatta has created a masterpiece in Make Way Rasta. Aside from being a musically deft piece of work – one that transcends just Roots to deliver elements of Soul, Rock, and other genres – the sheer quality of both the compositions and engineering creates the feel of a big-label project. In fact, though, Clatta’s precise yet warm and personal touch is what really differentiates Make Way Rasta from any corporate release. The artIst goes on an intimate journey through the project – and as a listener, he carries you along with him. A superb debut” – Mr Topple, Pauzeradio

Special thanks to:

Djim Job, Ray Gennari, Rohan Dwyer and Garfield Gabay, your work as producers on the project stands as reminder to the seasoned musical veterans, the maturing reggae artist and especially the just germinating reggae warriors; to seek guidance, ask questions and wait for the answers to arrive. Yes, you all knew a lot more than I in your respective areas yet, humble and giving enough to aid in the development of this majestic sound.

Ambassador Of Choice Studio Negril Jamaica, 644 Studio Providence RI, Music Of Job, Pawtucket, RI, and The Rocktorium Of Love West Kingston, RI., thank you for opening your doors to roots reggae music.
