Biography
North London rapper Jyager Maktwist first recognised his passion for music when he reached his early teens and began writing poetry to express his thoughts and feelings about life from day to day. Born and raised in Alenteiju, Portugal, Jyager moved to England in 1993 with his mother and sister in search of a better life. In recent years he has spent a lot of time traveling back and forth, visiting family and friends in Portugal and beyond. Despite the family commitments Jyager kept up his relentless rapping, and without knowing it found himself establishing a following throughout parts of Europe.
Jyager and Cee Why (producer) began working together on Jyagers’ debut album ‘Encrypted Scriptures’ in 2005 and in 2006 Jyager first came to the attention of the Hip Hop audience when his track ‘Pebbledash’ was included on Jehsts' ‘Mengi Bus Mixtape’.
