Born as Alhagie Singateh in 1982 in a small riverine community in the hinterlands of The Gambia( W. Africa), Sing-a-teh (A.K.A. Freaky Joe) at a very tender age, has portrayed a resounding talent as both an academician and a musician. Between spending Friday nights doing acapellas in street squares to performing at school events, Sing-a-teh was already on the track to creating a hobby that would eventually lead to a life-long passion for him.
Sing-a-teh spent his entire Primary School education and Middle School education in Bansang, and shortly attended Armitage High School before transferring to Gambia High School in the Greater Banjul Area. Sing-a-teh has played numerous roles in and out of his school career. He has served as a student prefect and a student deputy headboy during his school days in Bansang. The propelling point in Sing-a-teh's career came in 2001 when he released his wide acclaimed single "Gamsaint's Reconciliation", a song dedicated to bridging the gap between two sworn rivals: Gambia High and St. Augustine's High schools. The success from this effort earned him the much needed respect, and popularity from all sectors of the Gambian community and afar.
Following the popularity of his first single, he dropped another one entitled "More Message", a song that calls for youth empowerment. The reception and success of these two singles earned him the "Best Solo Artist of the Year 2001"," West Coast Radio Artist of the Year 2002", YIDAC PILLAR of the Year 2002, "FRIENDS OF THE CHILDREN" and several other titles and awards. From then on, he kept on excelling to higher heights winning more awards and soon started his own concerts across the country making his music and lyrics well known and loved by all and sundry. |
