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-Micheal 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 bass 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 the pop-oriented crossover styles. Dub style rhythms are available.

AZ-ONE has continued the mission of spreading the message of "Love and Unity" through the heart-throbbing, inspirational music they bring to the people. Don't miss Elisha and the AZ-ONE band!
