Pilgrim Orchestra grateful for Romeich’s input

- STEPHANIE LYEW STAR Writer

Musician and songwriter Pilgrim Orchestra has lauded Romeich Entertainm­ent head Romeich Major with giving him beneficial, unsolicite­d advice as he tries to build his brand.

“It’s a pleasure to be working with Romeich Entertainm­ent and the entire team. In our conversati­ons, he stated: ‘There is no need for you to hop on trends and try to be a crowd-pleaser. You’re on the right path. Keep doing what you’re doing and be yourself always. Never stop praying, trust and believe, your time will come,’” Pilgrim Orchestra told THE STAR.

Though he is not signed to the label, the artiste is not against the idea. But he has expressed that for now: “Let the music speaks for itself. I have nothing to prove.”

Pilgrim Orchestra, given name Onajé Chevers, has been writing and recording music from the age of 13, and now, at 25, has experience­d what he has dubbed his proudest moment: the opportunit­y to work with Romeich Entertainm­ent.

“The name Pilgrim Orchestra came about due to the fact that I’m always travelling, and I’ve been affiliated with musical instrument­s from a tender age, something you’ve never seen before. I’ve been an eloquent writer since then, and still am. The only improvemen­t is my voice control,” he said. Recently, Pilgrim Orchestra released the single God Is Love, which was produced by Romeich Entertainm­ent.

“The making of this whole project with Romeich Entertainm­ent was phenomenal. We were in the studio, the engineer started playing the instrument­al, and immediatel­y I started singing, ‘God is love’. The rest is history. It’s the type of song you listen to, knowing you’re working nonstop towards achieving your goals and you never stop praying, trusting and believing in God,” said Pilgrim

Orchestra.

In three weeks, God

Is Love has garnered over

85,000 views on YouTube, and he is looking forward to future endorsemen­ts and deals for the song.

Though the title of this production is not entirely unique, Pilgrim Orchestra feels that persons who listen to his music will be able to pinpoint one-off characteri­stics that set him and his music in a different category.

“It’s a song that everyone can listen and relate to, so I figured that would be the most suitable title for the song. Lately, the majority of the songs in dancehall are depicting the same topics, but I’m here to make a difference with substantia­l music,” Pilgrim Orchestra said. “I feel welcomed and honoured to be a part of this amazing industry.” His previous releases include Raincoat and Clarks, Catfish and Don’t

Stress It.
