From selling cologne to making music: JahFragrance shares his story

Before he began introducing himself as JahFragrance, Roger Grant was making a living selling cologne. His customers had their own ideas about what to call him, too, offering up names that would eventually help shape the identity he carries today as a Jamaican singer.

What began as a familiar name in the fragrance business has since taken on a new meaning, as Grant channels his experiences into music and promotes his latest single, Girl.

“It’s an extension of an old name I went by, Jah Scent. My customers called me Fragrance or Fresh A Scent, so I did a play on them both,” he explained.
