Vaughn Benjamin (August 13, 1969 – November 4, 2019) was a legendary reggae artist known for his prolific output, deeply intellectual lyrics, and spiritual presence. In 1989, Vaughn and his brother Ron Benjamin formed Midnite in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The band became a cornerstone of modern roots reggae, known for its "naked and raw" sound and meditative, hours-long live performances. In 2015, the band transitioned into Akae Beka, a name taken from the Book of Enoch. Vaughn continued his prolific career under this name until his death. Throughout his career, he released over 70 original albums and recorded more than 1,500 songs, often without pre-written lyrics. Vaughn’s lyrics covered a vast range of subjects, including Rastafari spirituality, social commentary, political issues, economics, agriculture, and sacred geometry. He was noted for his ethereal, chanted vocals that many described as "spiritual" or "ancestral". Often referred to as "The Teacher" or a "Modern Day Prophet," he is widely considered one of the most influential figures in contemporary roots reggae.
