“ Black Beauty is more than just a song, it is rather an allegory of African love, the love that the Eurocentric media likes to hide. This song highlights the powers of a woman with melanin, the more she embraces her African identity, the more attractive she becomes. The ultimate aim is to unite the African family leading to true empowerment.”
“Music is community service in the form of melodies,” so says Jermaine Joseph, better known as “Autarchii”. How simple yet profound! "Musicians are the guardians of the Earth and their purpose should be to uplift the community and the world at large,” said Autarchii.

In the golden era of Reggae, it was said that the music reflected strong messages of Rastafari and was the sound of the ghetto, as it, often referenced the dilapidation of the sufferer’s environment. Being the son of Veteran Recording Artist Donovan Joseph and the cousin to the crown prince of Reggae Dennis Brown, Autarchii, is adamant about continuing the mission of Reggae’s golden era. His lyrics and melodies seem to be fiery and educational at the same time. He has had the pleasure to be a mentee of the late legendary Wayne ‘Sleng Teng’ Smith, who taught him many ins and outs of the music Industry at the tender age of 17. The name ‘Autarchii’ is a depiction of ‘autarchy,’ which means absolute rule or power. It was officially placed on him by his cousin, who believed that his revolutionary approach to music would make him inextinguishable.
2017 saw Autarchii releasing his debut album entitled ‘Land of the Free’, which was distributed by VPAL Music. Reggae Vibes Magazine, a Netherlands based Magazine said “listening to Autarchii’s first full-fledged album is a mind-blowing experience”.
