Jahma
Born and raised in Rotterdam-Zuid, Jahma is a Rotterdam rapper who uses his music to turn his story, his faith, his losses and his life experience into powerful, recognisable songs.
In 2021 Jahma won the Sena Performers Grote Prijs van Rotterdam in the hip-hop category. Since then he has played most of the city's major stages. In 2022 he performed at Bevrijdingsfestival Zuid-Holland, and in 2023 he was part of 'Kameraden voor het Leven' alongside Hef, Kevin, Ronnie Flex, ADF Samski and Emms. Around Feyenoord's championship he performed both in De Kuip and on the Coolsingel.
There is a personal story behind Jahma's music. Losing his brother Breyten Muskiet — better known as Helderheid — and later his mother Joany Muskiet shaped both his life and his work. His mother spent years in the gospel world and taught him the value of faith, perseverance and meaning something to other people.
You hear that combination in Jahma: street, faith, pain, family, Rotterdam and hope. His music is not only about where he comes from, but above all about where he is going.
Alongside his own career, Jahma uses music to reach young people and develop talent. Through the Joany Muskiet Foundation he builds on his family's legacy and shows the next generation that your background does not have to decide how your story ends.
Jahma does not just make music from Rotterdam-Zuid — he tells the story of Rotterdam-Zuid.
