Born in Oakland, California to Jamaican parents, Rastan is a singer, songwriter, producer, and audio engineer from Santa Cruz, California. As a child, he would accompany his father, Tito Caleto, a songwriter/vocalist from Kingston, Jamaica to recording sessions and performances. Rastan started recording at 5 years old, initially working on background vocals. Later that year he performed for the first time, joining his father on stage at a Reggae festival in the Bay Area. At 9 years old, he recorded his first solo EP titled "Father & Son", written entirely by Tito Caleto and produced by Rankin Scroo. Rastan went on to open up for Reggae heavyweights including Burning Spear, Damian Marley, Gregory Isaacs, and Beenie Man all before turning 15. Under his father’s tutelage, Rastan began to craft his own approach to Reggae, incorporating elements of R&B, Hip Hop, and Funk. He aims to compose “organic music that slaps...hard”!...referring to a song's infectious ability to move listeners. He further describes it as finding a key balance between his Jamaican background and Californian upbringing.
