Fashek was, like many Nigerian reggae performers, a part of the long-running band The Jahsticks. The most notable is Daniel Wilson (aka Mr. Ragamuffin) who introduced his brand of ragamuffin music to Nigeria. Daniel Wilson dazzled the Nigerian music scene with hits like Mr.Ragamuffin and Original Bad Boy. Other musicians include Jerri Jheto, Daddy Showkey, Ras Kimono, De king, high school band of Victor Eshiet and Peggy Umanna, The Mandators and the London-based MC Afrikan Simba. These pioneers of Reggae music include big names like Orits Williki, Peterside Ottong, Andy Shoreman, Alex Zitto, Evelyn Ogoli, Wale Man,Isaac Black, and a host of others. These pioneers paved the way for the new generation of home grown reggae artists.Reggae music was propelled into the mainstream Nigerians in the mid eighties.

They began and frequently hit the airwaves with this new type of music genre that took Nigerians by storm.Radio Personality and broadcasters like Bisi Olatilo, Mani Onumono, Richard Onaghise (aka Manrichie), Zachari Mohammed, Smart Otemu, Boniface Onogwu,Nelson Edosovba, Ruime Effetie,and Shea Martins, all overwhelmingly featured Reggae musicians interviews on their program(mes). As the years have progressed, so too has the face of Reggae music in Nigeria. Fusing many styles with Reggae beats, a new generation of Nigerian Reggae artists have emerged.
