Raja Flame [ BIOGRAPHY ]
Christened
Roger Kwame Selorm (Kujdawo), the family never knew their 22nd January
birthday son was instinctively growing up in the norms and do's of music
celebrities to one day alter his Christian name with a colloquial
spelling tag by changing it from Roger to Raja (and even connect his
brand surname to the fire element --- Flame) until in his mid teen years
when he freely hit the music highway and found it to be a destined one
way ticket journey with no return plans. Roger Kwame Selorm is now famed
in showbiz circles as Raja Flame, still seriously living and working
his musical essences up the legendary ladder.
Sort
of sold out to the inescapable forces of music, as he is deeply
immersed into it full mind, young Raja Flame might have taken a solemn
vow inside to make a very meaningful impact with his immersion such that
he neither takes a pause nor makes a stop exploring the endowed depth
of his amusing talent since the production and outdooring of his first
official studio cut.

The
craft honing took a relatively serious mature turn when Raja joined the
Kaneshie Methodist church youth choir, even at a young age.
His
Methodist church days helped build his young charisma, moral
characteristics, spirituality, humane consciousness and self-worth. The
powerful combination of these virtue streams and the righteousness
teachings he learned listening to good reggae music later translated
into Raja's permanent inclination for positive music themes, such that
even while doing professional singing outside the church domain, he
still sings about world peace, communal living, unconditional love,
unity, political corrections, education, black consciousness,
self-esteem, mother nature alongside a spectrum of other subjects that
are relatable in real life. Whatever concept Raja chooses, he tactically
builds it with clarity, fine melodies, relevant lyrics and expresses
the right emotions to make beautiful mature piece that pleases the ear.

Of course, Raja matured to full
fledge by a significant musical influence that spans multiple genres, not just
reggae and dancehall --- this contributed greatly to his ability to satisfy
several music fan preferences as he can jump on any one particular genre's
instrumental and still make a remarkable impact. Despite his major stance in
reggae and dancehall, he's that versatile enough to excel comfortably in any
cross-genre collaborations.

Raja
never dishonours a profitable collaboration request knowing that
collaborations are a means of tapping another artiste's fan base. His
honouring has landed him some very neat collaborations, two of them
being "Better Must Come" with Wan Row, "Independence Day" with Na U.
Currently
Raja Flame won't fake credit for a heavy discography, but can boast of a
few good singles while in the studio working on his maiden album. He
has more unfinished singles in the studio. Some of his singles are:

concert performance record, he is credited with this laudable short
list:

yet. He's rather a co-head of Lifted Sound Sound (in Switzerland) with
Redwan, Blenda, Mr Minister and Bongo.
