SOJA

SOJA (Soldiers of Jah Army) is an American reggae band born in Arlington, Virginia, in the late 1990s. Formed by a tight-knit group of childhood friends, the band built their reputation the honest way — through relentless touring, raw energy, and a deeply authentic sound that blends roots reggae with elements of hip-hop, R&B, and acoustic folk. Led by vocalist and guitarist Jacob Hemphill, SOJA has grown from local underground shows into one of the most respected names in modern reggae. Their music carries a consistent message of peace, spirituality, love, and social consciousness, resonating with fans far beyond the traditional reggae audience. With multiple Grammy nominations and critically acclaimed albums such as *Born in Darkness*, *Amid the Noise and Haste*, and *Poetry in Motion*, SOJA has proven their staying power in an ever-changing music landscape. Their live performances are legendary — passionate, soulful, and connecting in a way that few artists can achieve. Decades into their journey, SOJA continues to evolve while staying true to their roots, delivering music that uplifts, challenges, and inspires audiences around the world.
