I-taweh, also known as Donavan “Danny Gitz” Cunningham, was born in the hills of St. Ann, Jamaica to Rupert and Ruby Cunningham. He was raised in the farming community of Prickly Pole, just a few miles from the home where Bob Marley grew in Nine Mile. I-taweh spent most of his childhood farming alongside his father and four siblings. As a youth, he began playing music with his family and friends. His musical career started shortly after his move from the country to Kingston in 1992, where he was given the name “Danny Gitz” because of his growing reputation as an outstanding musician. He began his first tour with “High Symbol” in 1994. He then went on to become the youngest member of the original Nyabhingi group “The Mystic Revelation of Rastafari”. During those years he was also doing significant work with Sugar Minott. He later became the guitarist for Everton Blender, and then went on to work with the “Yellow Wall Dub Squad”. For the past few years he has been a band member and the opening act for artists such as the Abyssinians, Richie Spice, Anthony B, Gregory Isaacs, Yami Bolo, Iqulah, Ini Kamoze, Sister Carol, the Melodians, the Mighty Diamonds, Junior Reid, Tanya Stepehens and many more… I-taweh’s incredible versatility on guitar and bass, precise vocals, and vibrant stage presence has kept him in high demand not only for live stage performances, but in the studio as well. On any given day you can hear his guitar licks playing on the radio waves of IRIE FM and radio st
