Westafa

Between touring with artist such as Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley and J Boog, years of mixtape releases, international gigs and residencies, Westafa has captivated the industry.  With musical roots in hip hop, reggae and dancehall, Westafa’s style has evolved to where he can majorly move any type of audience in many different settings.  Although California and Hawaii are his stomping grounds, Westafa is hard to miss on an international level.  Having played in Miami, NYC, Las Vegas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Alaska, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, Samoa, Tonga and many other states in the U.S., it only made sense he was asked by Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley to set off and DJ throughout the historical first annual Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise in October of 2014 and every year after.  Westafa has had the privilege of touring extensively with Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, J Boog, Common Kings, Maoli as well as share the stage with acts such as The Marley Brothers (Ziggy, Stephen, Damian,Julian, Ky-mani), Migos, Cardi B, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Ty Dolla Sign, Nas, Chronixx, Protoje, Koffee, Popcaan, Tarrus Riley, Morgan Heritage, Sean Paul, Shaggy, Dirty Heads, Slightly Stoopid, Sublime w/ Rome, Rebelution, Soja, Fiji, The Green, Sammy Johnson and many others.  Whether it’s a festival, club or private event Westafa is a guaranteed crowd favorite. He is also one half of the duo, Western Conference, with long time collaborator and MC, BigBodyCisco.
