Producer, DJ and recording artiste DJ RoH has always prioritized creating music that resonates with authenticity and timeless appeal.

The Westmoreland native, now based in the United States, continues to push boundaries while staying rooted in his Caribbean heritage.

Born Rohan Oneil Higgins, DJ RoH has five years of production under his belt. "I’m bringing great energy, while maintaining the roots of the Caribbean/Jamaican culture, while fusing the culture with other genres and cultures for a broader reach. My productions are different because of the message and vibes, while keeping the roots," said DJ RoH, who has so far worked with a number of acts including Iesha Nova, Prodigal Son, Zamunda, Specialist, Kashu, Hashez and Strait E.

Roots One riddim which was released on July 4, features "Why Oh Why by" DJ RoH, "Wash Off Bad Mind" by Prodigal Son, "Keep Moving On" by Iesha Nova, "Thanks" by Shepherd Muzik, "Overcome" by QueSobah and "Nothing Cyan Break Me" by Strait E.

Only two songs have so far been released from the Blue Comet rhythm, namely BallonDOR by Iesha Nova and his very own Paranoia.

DJ RoH previously produced projects such as Kandy Shock and Pypin rhythms. Said DJ RoH, “Despite the journey being rough, it has been rewarding because I put in lots of hard work and dedication, and I keep pushing through.”

A former student of the Godfrey Stewart High, DJ RoH had aspirations of becoming a professional coach, and he studied for two years at the GC Foster College in Spanish Town.
