Who is

Ahmad Ikhlas?

Ahmad Ikhlas is an international dub poet, reggae and garage musician who draws on his Jamaican heritage and his British upbringing to shape a style all of his own.

Born and raised in South London, he always loved music, but it was the rise of the UK garage scene that showed him what music could do for change and empowerment. Back then he was known as MC Meelos, a regular voice on the radio stations of the day.

It was on that scene that he became good friends with UK Apache, who invited him to the mosque. At seventeen, still in school, Ahmad embraced Islam. For his first ten years as a Muslim he set music aside to build and focus on his spirituality.

Now Ahmad fuses his faith and identity, travelling, sharing his experiences and singing songs of praise.
