Fyah Ises's golden voice speaks directly to the heart and his style of singing is compared to that of Jah Cure and Tarrus Riley.  Jeremiah also referred to as Ises or Jah Bongz or Prophet continued his recording and performance around his neighbourhood, Ekurhuleni (East of Johannesburg) which is where he draws most of his inspiration from and during his journey, he was also strongly inspired by one of the popular musician "BONGO RIOT" who is also from Ekurhuleni. Fyah continued with his music journey and worked with "Cycle Of Life" recording singles and mix tapes which is where he did a hit track called "Beat the Congo drum", it features Mafeshini a Rap Artist, by then you couldn't deny he was on his way to success though in 2010 he felt that music was not enough to keep up with the high standards of living which the youth faces so he went and looked for a job at a restaurant,  while working there, the music edge kept growing stronger so he started writting songs again.
