“My biggest goal right now is to highlight the culture of the music. I am also aiming for a structure as far as getting the music out; I’m trying to show that music is an art. Mi waa bring feeling and emotion to inspire,” said Neily Blnz.

Originally from Bartons in St Catherine, he grew up in Seaview Gardens before migrating to New York and settling in Connecticu­t.

“I grew up learning things from the music. My uncle, who was an artiste by the name of Talking Chicken, greatly inspired me.

When I came to America, I began freestylin­g to Beenie Man and Bounty Killer songs,” he shared.

He said the journey hasn’t been a smooth ride.

“The journey take me to a road, a hard road. Doing music all by yourself, I learnt how to market my music, getting my music properly mixed and engineered while investing in my craft. I can be a bit overwhelmi­ng, but it’s the drive and the motivation that keeps me going,” said Neily Blnz.

Having worked with One

Motion Records, Many Movementz Entertainm­ent and Perfection­ist Music, he hopes to work with other production houses.

Twenty years ago, along with a business partner, he started Many Movementz Entertainm­ent. After both severed ties, he got the label up and running again in 2018.

Working with K E M Production, he released his first official project was a collaborat­ion with Sassy, an up-and-coming female artiste. A remix of featuring Anthony B is expected to be released at the end of May.
