Ras Mista Fyah, a compelling voice in the global reggae scene, is setting his sights on music’s most prestigious award, the Grammy, with his latest album, ‘Infinity.’ Released in August 2025, this roots reggae offering has not only garnered critical acclaim for its authentic sound and profound messages but has also positioned the Colombian-born artist as a serious contender in the Best Reggae Album category for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.
The Artist’s Journey: From Bogotá to Miami’s Music Scene
Originally hailing from Bogotá, Colombia, Ras Mista Fyah’s musical path has been one of resilience and unwavering dedication. He relocated to the United States in 2013, eventually settling in Miami and establishing his own record label, Captain Fyah Records LLC, in 2017. His music is deeply rooted in the consciousness and spirit of reggae, drawing inspiration from legends like Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, and Black Uhuru, artists he grew up listening to in his native city. His journey, however, has been marked by significant personal challenges. Following a severe accident in 2015 that resulted in the loss of his left hand, Ras Mista Fyah demonstrated extraordinary determination. He taught himself to play the guitar with a bionic hand and ingeniously crafted a custom hook, ensuring that his passion for music would not be compromised by his physical limitations. This spirit of overcoming adversity is a central theme woven throughout his artistic expression and personal narrative.
‘Infinity’: A Tapestry of Sound and Spirit
‘Infinity,’ Ras Mista Fyah’s fourth U.S.-recorded album, serves as a testament to his artistic growth and his commitment to authentic roots reggae. The nine-track project, produced by Fela Roland of Argentina and featuring seasoned musicians like Bernard “Touter” Harvey (keyboardist for Inner Circle) and bassist Dennis Burt, takes listeners on a profound spiritual and musical journey. The album’s strength lies in its seamless blend of spirituality, cultural pride, and innovative musicality. Across its tracks, ‘Infinity’ flows like a meditation, exploring themes of life, struggle, unity, resilience, and love. A distinctive feature of the album is its multilingual delivery, incorporating English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Jamaican Patois. This approach bridges cultural divides and underscores reggae’s universal appeal, resonating with a global audience. The project has been recognized for its powerful display of roots music that speaks directly to the soul, radiating positive vibrations and empowering listeners.
Chasing Grammy Recognition
The consideration of ‘Infinity’ for a Grammy nomination marks a significant milestone in Ras Mista Fyah’s career. With 73 albums and EPs on the Recording Academy’s provisional list for Best Reggae Album, the artist expressed profound gratitude for being in contention alongside established figures. “Just to be considered for a Grammy nomination is an important part in my life and RMF (Ras Mista Fyah) reggae music! It took years of hard work and dedication and I am grateful for the love and support of all the people,” he stated. The album’s diverse lyrical content and rich musicality have positioned it as a notable entry, reflecting the evolving landscape of Caribbean music and its global influence. The official nominations for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards were anticipated in early November 2025.
Momentum Through Promotion and Performance
Since its release, Ras Mista Fyah has been actively promoting ‘Infinity’ through various engagements. He has undertaken extensive promotional rounds, including media interviews and live performances. Notably, he has been touring the United States alongside Grammy Award-winning reggae icon Mykal Rose, performing to enthusiastic crowds and celebrating the timeless energy of reggae music. The release of a music video for his track “Meh Nevah,” directed by Ras Kassa Films, further amplified the album’s reach, garnering significant views. ‘Infinity’ has also climbed the iTunes Reggae Charts, sharing space with reggae luminaries. Looking ahead, Ras Mista Fyah is embarking on his “Infinity Tour” across the United States from December 4-21, 2025, promising to bring his electrifying sound and uplifting messages to fans nationwide. His story is also being chronicled in a Vevo documentary.
