Wilful Skilful looks to be next big name from Seaview

-

Kingston-based dancehall artiste Wilful Skilful is gunning for the top spot in the genre.

He is more than just what his colourful stage name suggests, as he has worked hard to carve out a niche for himself in the competitiv­e music industry.

The talented deejay has been raising eyebrows with his latest single, Dominate, which was released on the Sweet Music Records label a month ago.

A talented protoge of Dexta Daps, he is the latest product of Seaview Gardens, which has also given the world such incredible talents as Bounty Killer, Shabba Ranks, Elephant Man and the aforementi­oned Dexta Daps.

“I know that Dominate was going to be di biggest song for me because mi speak about mi whole life inna it, and pour me heart and talk how mi feel and what mi want. Even before the song was recorded, it was a hit in the community. From the old to

Dominate,” the baby say

Skilful said.

There are plans to shoot a video for the project in the near future but in the meantime, the deejay is racheting up street promotion on the song.

During his teens, he attended Camperdown High School and once he graduated, he knew that music was the only vocation.

He recorded his first single, Nuff Nuff, in 2012 on the VA Records label and continued to hone his craft.

Since that time, he has performed at community events in Seaview Gardens and in the Corporate Area, St Mary, Portland and Clarendon.

He believes that he has perfected the formula that will reap him success in the music business.

“From yu can please Seaview crowd you can please any crowd because Seaview, my community, is di heart of music college,” he said.
