MIAMI GARDENS – Kashief Lindo was born, lived, and nurtured in an environment dedicated to the creation of music. His father Willie Lindo produced and wrote some of reggae’s most popular songs, for artistes such as Beres Hammond, Dennis Brown and Maxi Priest to name a few. Willie took his son Kashief to the studio almost every day from his birth.
One day Willie and Beres Hammond were in the studio recording for about 12 hours, while four year old Kashief sat and watched patiently, as the two geniuses worked. On their way home the idea for one of Beres’ popular songs was born, and they played with the melody in the car until they got to their destination. They knew they had a hit, so they decided to record the song the following day. Neither Beres or Willie could remember the melody of the song, they tried tirelessly but could not get it, when they had all but given up they heard four year old Kashief humming the melody quite nonchalantly, at that point they realized that this young boy was someone special.
Beres Hammond insisted that Willie Lindo record Kashief, thus at the age of four, he made his first recording, “Live with Love”. Kashief Lindo’s first album entitled “Trouble Free” swept the charts in the United States, Europe and Japan. This album features his remake of a Jimmy Cliff classic, “Many Rivers to Cross”, a rendition that brought rave reviews.
He subsequently released six other albums, “Push For Your Goal” an album targeting young children, motivating them towards educational upliftment.

“Soul and Inspiration”, What Kind of World”, “Kashief Sings Christmas”, his first all original album “We Need Love” which demonstrated Kashief’s writing and production skills and
Kashief Lindo’s seventh and latest album “Keep On Keepin On” which exemplifies his maturity as a man and an artiste. The album is soulful, spiritual and full of thoughtful expressions of love and conscious views of life & the world.
The title track “Keep On Keeping On” has an inspirational message, “Nijah & Angie” reflects the joy that parenthood brings, “You’re So Pretty” is a beautiful expression of intimate love and “She Tuff” describes the power women have in relationships. “How Can We Ease the Pain” is a thoughtful remake of a classic Willie Lindo hit first done by Maxi Priest.
