When one listens to G Maffiah's songs, one can hear the poetic attributes in his lyrics. Ian Ramsey aka 'G Maffiah' was born in Spanish Town and raised in a small district called Thompson Pen, just outside of Spanish Town. He attended McAuley Primary and is a graduate of St. Catherine High School, with several CXC passes to his credit. He decided to surpass in his music career, as well as academically, and would love to become a doctor in the future. However, music is where his heart lies.

He started his musical career by performing at festivals while attending High school. His love and dedication for music had led him to Dillon Reid of Manatee Records, who was astounded at his lyrics. Following this, G Maffiah wrote and recorded two tracks, 'Money Haffi Mek' and 'Saturday Night', at the studio the same day. Both did well, receiving some radio play.

G Maffiah changed his name after Elephant Man recorded 'Dance De Crazy Hype', which had confused some people and led them to believe that he was a dancer.

So far, he has managed to work with some of Jamaica's prominent producers, such as: Jah Snow Cone, Lady G, Mickey John of Lion Paw Production, Power Mix Record out of New York, Big Family Music, Kingston 6, Mad Dawgs 3:57 Production, and Kings Jammys.

His recording and writing talent led him to work with various artistes, such as: Macka Diamond, Queen Paula, Lady G, and Madd Anju. He has also performed at major events, both locally and internationally in Connecticut, Orlando, New Jersey, New York, and the Bahamas.

The talented writer, who is inspired by Terror Fabulous, is currently doing some new singles to be released later this year. In the business, he would love to establish himself like other prominent artistes. His style of music is derived from listening to Reggae, Dancehall, Hip-Hop, R & B, and Jazz.

He is thankful to the Creator for blessing him with his talent, and hopes that one day his dream will become a reality.

G Maffiah will definitely make a mark in the music industry. "Till the day we die, the limit is the sky".
