Azato and Jonah Jaxon have released “When We Gonna Start?”, a new single that addresses gang violence and promotes community compassion. This roots reggae song, available on major streaming platforms, calls for love and unity as a response to violence and serves as a tribute to the young lives lost in such conflicts.
Both artists lead nonprofit organisations in Kalihi/Honolulu, Hawai’i, where they assist at-risk teenagers with programs focused on arts and personal development. Despite their efforts, they have mourned the loss of over 40 students to street violence.
“When We Gonna Start?” urges listeners to rethink their interactions with others, highlighting the need for empathy and solidarity through its moving lyrics. The track combines Azato’s roots reggae style with Jaxon’s expressive vocal performance, creating a powerful call for change.
