âChangeâ is the progressive follow â up to Goodâs Gonna Happen.

International Reggae Artist, Sahra Indio, mesmerizes audiences with her sultry vocal styling, infectious rhythms and positive vibes. Hailed as the reigning Empress of Reggae, and dubbed âJahâs Jewel,â by her adoring fans, Sahra delivers the global message of truth and rights, forgiveness and love through her music.

Heavily influenced by the music of Superstar, Bob Marley, Sahra began to examine her musical roots, which included the sweet jazz of her legendary, cousin, Clifford Brown. Nurturing this musical spark, burning from deep within, Sahra seized the opportunity to realize her dream.

On the Big Island of Hawaii, Sahra joined her first Reggae band, âJahringa.â Jahringa, taken from the Australian Aboriginal word for âDreamtime,â was the place where Sahra found the voice to sing about the beauty and the mystery of life. Like the hot lava flows erupting on the Island, Sahra burst onto the Reggae scene with her debut CD titled âGoodâs Gonna Happenâ, (Olumeye Records 2003).

âGoodâs Gonna Happenâ, brought Sahra Indio to the world stage. The CD received international merit for the positive mantra it gives listeners; âgoodâs gonna happen so, donât give up, goodâs gonna come to you my love.â The title song, the CDâs flagship track, won the âReggae Song of the Year Awardâ in the 2004 Unisong International Song Contest.

âGoodâ has happened for this talented, soulful, songstress and the temperature continues to rise as Sahraâs fans eagerly anticipate the release of her sophomore album, âChange,â due on the shelves of music stores everywhere in March 2007.

Since reconnecting with her musical roots and stepping out on her own power, âJahâs Jewel,â Empress Sahra, has performed worldwide at such venues as the KootsRoots Cultural Festival in British Columbia, Monterey Bay Reggae Fest in Monterey CA., U.S. Virgin Islands, Rastafarian Fair, Paris Clubs,France,Sunset Live, Kyushu, Japan, at Australiaâs â2007 Big Day Out Festivalâ in Perth. She has also shared the stage with Reggae Stars, such as Luciano & Mickey General, Alpha Blondy, Don Carlos, Third World, Steel Pulse, Rico Rodriques, Prezident Brown, Dezarie, Midnite, Bambu Station, I Grade Family Tour and Abijah, Batch, Ras Attitude and Ras Indio.
