Charan

Producer Nitai “Charan” Boschma (born August 1988) is known for his Dancehall Reggae beats, or ‘Riddims’ with an Electronic/Dance twist.

The combination of African, Indian and Latin American percussion with Synth based beats are his trademark.

From his childhood he listened to Reggae artists like Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Ini Kamoze and Black Uhuru. At the young age of fifteen already sat behind the buttons in various studios to handle the recording, mixing and mastering processes.

Charan came in the sales industry through his brother and became familiar with entrepreneurship.

He fluctuated between multiple styles of music, but when he travelled to Jamaica in the summer of 2011 it was clear to him: Reggae music is the way to go. “I stood at arms length from the mausoleum of Bob Marley when I realized what this music really meant to me, how one man from the third world can place such an impact and change the consciousness of millions.”

His travels from last year have led to several internatonal releases, including various riddims in Jamaica. His latest production “Summer Summer” with the very established Artist Gyptian already received a lot of airplay in several countries and was able to reach number 2 in the Netherlands in the FunX charts.

Besides producing, he is also active as Reggae Artist. You can find him in the studio every day where he is working on his first album. His sound is a mix of the rhythmic, danceable aspect of Dancehall with the messages and topics that you would expect of Roots Reggae. Similar to artists like Gentleman, I-Octane and Damien Marley.

At this moment he is busy with the production of various singles, EP’s and albums including the ‘Cyaan Bada’, ‘Euro’ and ‘Anthem’ riddim jugglings.
