Minister Taf (Tafari), born and raised in Jamaica, is a Gospel Reggae Artiste, songwriter, and author, who has gradually built a name for himself on the UK scene through his uplifting sound and passion for what he does.

Studio Releases Minister Taf later followed up in June 2021 with his EP titled “Ena Minyma” which is Greek for “A Message.” The EP featured Fiona Yorke and produced by Jvmmie Jae. The EP has garnered rave reviews, securing interviews with local and international radio stations, and recently featured in the September 2021 addition of the Jamaican newspaper “The Star”.
