Elisha Israel is a Kansas City based Reggae artist. He came to the K.C.
area in 1987 and immediately began working with local Reggae talent including Sidney Wolf
(formerly of Ras-Michel and Jimmy Cliff), Garth Dennis (currently with Black Uhuru and
formerly with Wailing Souls), Music Maka, One Drop, and Gaddites.
In 1988 Elisha formed his own band, AZ-ONE, and is the lead singer and
bas player for the band. Since then, AZ-ONE has performed with numerous regional and
international acts across the country in shows ranging from small clubs to large
festivals. This group prides itself on sticking to socially conscious roots Reggae, rather
than pop-oriented crossover styles.
AZ-ONE has continued the mission of spreading the message of "Love and
Utility" through the heart-throbbing, inspirational music they bring to the people.
