Rohan da Great’s entire life has been scored by the sounds of music.

Having been raised in the predominantly Caribbean Brooklyn community of East Flatbush, the artist was embedded within the music and culture of his heritage. His father is a well-known and revered dancehall artist, Curry Don, who was part of Brooklyn's infamous Mini Mart HiFi sound system.

Under his father’s tutelage, the artist was able to refine his skills as both a songwriter and performer. Though he excelled in academia, the artist never forgot about his roots and decided upon moving to Johnston County, North Carolina, to pursue music full-time. In 2011, Rohan da Great started his own label, Leaders of the Artistic Revolution, building his own studio in the process. Throughout his childhood, the artist listened to a variety of reggae and dancehall juggernauts like Beenie Man, Pinchers, and Louie Culture. As a teenager, he enjoyed the sounds of Mr. Vegas, and currently looks towards artists like Bob Marley, Kranium, Vybz Kartel, and Popcaan for musical inspiration. Combining the sonic sensibilities of reggae, dancehall, and hip hop to inform his approach to music-making, the artist is a melting pot of influences, claiming, “Brooklyn hip hop shaped my rhymes, dancehall gave me my vibe and roots, and the slow pace of the South gave me time to polish my skills.”

Although Rohan flourishes in many genres of music, the world got its first glimpse of his musicianship through the 2015 banger “SMYK” with Chicago EDM producer Dani Deahl that was premiered on Billboard, charted on Beatport, and was featured in an episode of Oxygen's Bad Girls Club. The following year, the artist liberated his first EP, The Real, which received recognition from hip hop tastemakers like HHS1987, The Hype Magazine, and Hip Hop Vibe. Exploring both the good and bad elements of love and relationships, death, struggle, optimism, and the ills of society, The Real was a crafty project driven by lyricism, wit, and a perfect dose of relatability. In 2017, Rohan released his hip hop-tinged single "HIT," which was featured on 2DopeBoyz and showed a more aggressive and mainstream sound. The song garnered 35,000 streams and obtained a multitude of mixshow spins throughout the country.

Following “HIT” came the reggae record, "SummerTime," which made huge waves and spawned the self-made "Summertime Tour" of 2016. Influenced by the sounds of the Caribbean, Rohan’s singles like "One More" and “Crazy” amassed thousands of plays online, charted, and made their way into full rotation on several FM stations in North Carolina. The tunes were so well received that fans across the globe posted videos of themselves dancing to them, and several well-known comedians and social media influencers have used his music in their skits.

Rohan’s EP SixLove solidified him as an artist to watch. The dancehall album was driven by the artist’s competitive spirit, topped by a nod to the culture that surrounds playing dominoes in the Caribbean. An eclectic blend of dancehall and R&B, the album has already charted on the U.S. iTunes Reggae album chart. Additionally, the single "Unfair Games" from the SixLove EP peaked at #86 on the Mediabase Urban Radio Airplay chart.

Rohan has charted on iTunes with over a dozen of his songs, but his single "Fallin" is his biggest success to date, going #1 on the iTunes charts and charting in over 70 countries on Apple Music.

Throughout his career as an artist, Rohan has shared the stage with reggae and dancehall legends such as Beres Hammond, Frankie Paul, Wayne Wonder, Everton Blender, Baby Cham, and Tanto Metro & Devonte. He has also performed alongside current trending dancehall stars like Serani, Masicka, Vershon, and Dovey Magnum; soca artists Destra, Nessa Preppy, Nailah Blackman, Father Fox, Pumpa, Lyrical, Father Nappy, and Mr. Killa; and hip hop acts like Dave East, DaBaby, Tigo B, Colonel Loud, and Troy Ave. Now, Rohan is ready to live up to his name and take his place amongst the greats.
