HANS BIO: MARLON ASHER “the Ganja Farmer” Marlon Asher, a native Trinidadian started singing at the age of 7 in the choir of his grandparent’s church . The name “Asher” was derived from the 12 tribes of Israel and “Asher” is the tribe which represents December and the spirit of Christ. His musical style is that of a conscious reggae artist and he cites Bob Marley, Dennis Brown and Barrington Levy as some of his musical mentors. Marlon feels that reggae touches his soul and he wants to communicate that extension of spiritual soulfulness with the world. A gifted musican, Marlon teaches musical arrangement of the steelpan, the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago, to young enthusiasts with an average age range of 7- 17years. Marlon Asher is considered a musical genius and his ingenuity was revealed with the release of his song ‘Ganja Farmer’. The song ‘Ganja Farmer’ was derived from an older selection named ‘Ganga Man’, which was also writtern by Asher. Asher maintains that he is not a ganja farmer and that the song does not promote the cultivation or use of the illegal substance. However, he hopes to create an awareness for the work that farmers do, and to be mindful, that regardless of their crop, destroying any farm takes away someone’s livelihood. Marlon has been performing throughout Trinidad and Tobago and has opened for Beenie Man, Maxi Priest and Boys II Men. He is soon to hit the eastern Caribbean, the United States and Europe. Asher feels that he has been blessed and his future is one that will involve him singing. He said “God has his plans for me. I believe I am a messenger… here to deliver a serious message. I am just waiting for him to reveal his message”. Asher has a message for the youth: “your talent should never go to waste… with God all things are possible. Pray hard and you will succeed”. Marlon is currently finishing his album with reknowned local producer Carl “Beaver” Henderson (the mastermind behind the music) and his manager, Geron “Big G” Woodruffe at Caribbean Underground Productions in Trinidad.
