A little about the journey so far

Nubian Fyah is an internationally recognized reggae powerhouse based in Phoenix, Arizona, known for their versatile "Reggae Rabbadon" style.

Guitarist Dylan completes the signature sound, weaving sweet, intricate melodies over the deep roots foundation. This powerful musical chemistry has made Nubian Fyah a sought-after act both locally and globally. They regularly collaborate with international artists from New York to West Africa, and recently shared the stage in Senegal with international superstar Saifon.
