Anguillian reggae guitarist/singer/songwriter Jahmings Maccow has risen from the quiet island of Anguilla, through the ruff ghettos of South Bronx, to become one of New York City's tuffest reggae acts during the 80's, with bands like Catch-A-Fire and The Enforcers. Since that time Jahmings Maccow has branched out from Catch-A-Fire and The Enforcers bands to become more of a Rhythm & Blues, Rock Guitar Player and a more polished Songwriter.

Studio 45 was the home of "Catch-A-Fire Band" in Mid-town Manhattan. The band emerged out of several bands, "Rhythm Dimensions" and "Creation", in late 1981, early 1982. The band opened for acts like "Ken Boothe", "Alton Ellis", "The Meditations", "Israel Vibration", "Dennis Brown", "Culture" and many more. They shared the same stage and toured with groups and bands like "Michigan & Smiley" and "Mojanya". After the separation of Catch-A-Fire manager Joe, bandmembers Cliff and Jahmings, tried to put the band back together, but with little success. The fire was burning out of control. In 1984 Jahmings put together a band called "The Enforcers" doing mostly studio work for Bullwackies Artists like "Max Romeo" and "Sugar Minott". This was the same time period he ran into singing group "Love Joys", "Leroy Sibbles" and "Hopeton Lewis".Hopeton invited him down to his studio in Montego Bay, Jamaica to do some recording.

In the fall of 1987 Jahmings headed west to Los Angeles California to attend Dick Grove's Music School continuing his musical education. Jahmings was there from 1988 - 1990. During his time at Grove, he signed a songwriters contract with "Sunrise Records" and wrote a single for "Buddy Raye" entitled "Yesterday" that came out on an album entitled "Hollywood Sessions."

In the summer of 1989 Jahmings went back to New York City to record the track title:"Isn't This Love" at his friend Paul Henton's home studio, and to do some shows. After his days at Grove ended, Jahmings did some TV shows and wrote a string of songs in Los Angeles. In 1991 he flew back to New York City to record the track title:"Doomsday" with his friend Paul in his home studio. In 1993 he took a break from writing and recording to put together his home recording studio in the San Fernando Valley where most of the tracks for the "New Way" CD were pre-recorded.
