Star Waan is a rising independent rap artist and songwriter hailing from New Jersey. Born and raised in Jamaica, he moved to the United States when he was in his mid-teenage years.

At present, the music video for “Keep It Blazin” has generated over 16,000 views on YouTube in just a few months.

Today, Star Waan continues to build his empire in the music landscape. He continues to explore fresh concepts and melodies that will surely set the music industry ablaze sooner or later. But more than producing songs for entertainment purposes, he uses his gift in music to empower and inspire listeners to move forward in life. “I gain motivation from my life experiences based on the struggles I see every day that reflect around me. My culture influences me to create from what I know so that it could mean more to my creation,” shares the rising rapper.
