Jake D was born in Karnplay, Nimba County, Liberia. He presently resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. He is a song writer, singer, producer, and recording engineer who began his music career in early 1989 and has since then released and produced a few, but highly acclaimed CDs.

M'boté !!!!! I love Jake D's songs because they sounds like Congolian traditional music. I am from deep in the heart of this amazing country and when I listen to "Banjay", I remember the music played by our wizard in our village . We danced until the dawn. After we left to hunt the Gazelle. But why are you talking about Cote d'Ivoire if you are from Liberia ? Could you translate to me in english the lyrics of "Banjay" when Jake pronouce "Banjay yo banjay kouwa " Moreover, I wonder what means "aka cote d ivoire aka abidja aka cote d ivoire aka yamoussouko ! Thanx to the WONDERFUL and AWESOME JAKE D !!!!!!!!!!!
