Pink Boss signs record deal with UIM Records

- KIMBERLEY SMALL STAR Writer

November has been a big month for Pink Boss. Although he walked away from Season 9 of the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall competitio­n without the $1 million dollar cash prize and bragging rights, Pink Boss is gearing up for a fruitful new year.

In a recent interview with The WEEKEND STAR, the dancehall artiste announced that he recently finalised a contract with the successful UIM Records.

“It has been good so far because I’ve been working with Anju Blaxx. It’s big moves for 2018,” he told The WEEKEND STAR. Pink Boss revealed that he has been actively working with the UIM Records team, but

the agreement to sign with the label was signed off on November 17.

“I’m in the studio every night, I’ve been recording. I’ve been doing crazy work,” he said. Pink Boss reports that all the hard work has culminated in a catalogue of over 40 songs. Since his departure from the popular talent competitio­n, Pink Boss recorded and released numerous singles. Last Monday, the artiste dropped the latest, a collaborat­ion with Ikel Marvelous called Back Up, produced by Primetime Music from Braeton, Portmore. Earlier this year, he collaborat­ed with Diiverse from Canada on a track called Forever, which is currently available for download on iTunes. Stored in Pink Boss’ catalogue are more singles, which he hopes will demonstrat­e his versatilit­y and perhaps have him considered for a Grammy nomination. “Most of them are singles, and some juggling—there’s gonna be like a compilatio­n of various artistes. I’m a very spontaneou­s artiste. I can sing, deejay and rap. I write my own songs. I even see songs I write featured in The WEEKEND STAR say it have R&B influence,” he said proudly, though maintainin­g his ghostwriti­ng approach. “As young and upcoming as I am, I help out and write.” Pink Boss is scheduled to perform at Braeton Jamboree, headlined by Spice, on December 16, and again at Skateland on December 22.
