With solitude comes clarity. With clarity comes peace of mind. With peace of mind comes the confidence to...Free Your Authentic Heart - F.Y.A.H.

F.Y.A.H. is the latest project of Delroy "Pele" Hamilton, a co-founder, leader, and bassist of the popular Jamaican reggae band Raging Fyah. With three albums, including the Grammy- nominated "Everlasting," under his belt, Pele decided to dive deeper into music production when the pandemic hit and isolation became the new normal. “I challenged myself to become a better writer, musician, producer and this led to the birth of F.Y.A.H.”

Pele's journey to F.Y.A.H has been long and winding, but these experiences have allowed him to create music that resonates deeply with people. "The power of music is when it comes straight from the heart. That's when it truly connects with people. They can feel that vibration," he says. While reggae still remains at the core of F.Y.A.H., Pele also incorporated other genres and influences to create a unique sound that reflects his personal journey and experiences. "I have a deep love for reggae music, but as a musician, I also appreciate other styles. You'll hear those influences in this new F.Y.A.H. project, but at the heart of it all, it's always reggae music. I'm not trying to change that," Pele explains.

Pele collaborated with talented musicians, including guitarist Nicolas Groskopf and vocalist Elton Earlington, to create F.Y.A.H.'s debut album, "Free Your Authentic Heart". This album features a dozen new tracks of roots reggae style with a message of hope, resilience, and love. "I poured my heart into these songs. This is me, not an act," Pele shares.

"Free Your Authentic Heart" is set to be released this year on VP Records, and the band will be touring in support. Pele is excited to share this body of work with the world and continue to create music that reflects his authentic self. “I’m pleased with the end result of the songs,” Pele says. “I’m happy with the consistency and message. I’m ready to deliver this body of work to the world.” More projects from F.Y.A.H. are already in the works- look out!
