The Journi with Asher

A multi-talented creative, Asher is a professional DJ, MC, host and photographer. He was brought up in South London on a mix of gospel, folk, soul, RnB and rare groove. He also loved reggae from an early age, although he wasn’t allowed to play it in the house. 

Asher has been with Ujima since the very beginning and has produced and presented shows covering genres from bluebeat, ska, world music, afro beats and many more.

For the last 3 years his Sunday show “The Journi” has explored the many different branches of Jazz which Asher points out is interconnected with so many other musical genres – influencing some styles and drawing heavily from others.
