A member of the Seaview Gardens' famed 'Jackson 5' has ventured into music and has vowed to use his many experiences as a source of inspiration for underprivileged and downtrodden Jamaicans. A doctor by profession, Omar Jackson has adopted the moniker Ojaye Amor as his stage name and recently released a mixtape, Voice of the Ghetto . He is convinced that his music will soon be on the lips of many persons in the very near term.
"The mixtape is about my experience and the struggles of growing up in the garrison. It speaks about life and death, and just overcoming all the obstacles and rising to become someone who can motivate others," he said. Ojaye Amor and his siblings, Sherri-Ann, Grace-Ann, Jason and Andre have defied the odds to become shining examples of success in their tough, inner-city St Andrew community.
Like him, his sister Sherri-Ann is a medical doctor, while their eldest sibling, Andre, is an educator. Grace-Ann has a first degree and works in the financial sector, and Jason is involved in logistics. In a recent interview with THE WEEKEND STAR , the 32-year-old Ojaye Amor spoke about his 16-track project.
Among the tracks on the mixtape are Life Story , Keep Moving , Changes , Self Motivation , What' s Life and Still I Rise . He lists Life Story as one of his favourites. " Life Story is a track I hold dear to me.
In Seaview Gardens, sometimes there are spontaneous flare-ups of violence. In 2018, the police had a sting operation and they basically came to the wron.
