Siilk Legend Plans to do a Victory Lap with 2019 Releases
Two New Albums Out Soon
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Brooklyn, New York - September 21, 2018 - Siilk Legend spent much of this year impressing the underground scene with his July 2018 release, Victory. He plans on following the success of that with not one but two albums in the coming year; Keep It Calm and Ghetto Story.
Growing up in the Caribbean, it wasn’t hard to find himself immersed in music. His passion for the creative outlet was sparked at an early age as he found himself infatuated with the sound of the drums coming from Bobo Hill. Intrigued and interested, he wanted more but found life had a different instrument in mind. His voice soon became his signature as he sang in his junior choir and at church.
In 2014 Siilk Legend found himself back in the classroom at Garmex Heart Academy, where he pursued a Musical Performance Level 2 course. Just three years after graduating the boy who came up in Kingston is running his own label in Brooklyn; DSLD Royale Ent. In 2018 he released a triad of single including an homage to his mother “Mother’s Love,” and “Vision Blur/Cyaan See Me,” a song that puts haters in their place while lifting hard working people up. Drawing from his personal life and nature, Siilk’s music is both personal and universal - which describes his 2018 release, Victory.
With Siilk, Victory was just the beginning of this chapter in his life. He already has big plans to continue to solidify his name in the dancehall scene. Keep It Calm will be the first release of 2019, followed later by Ghetto Story. Each album promises to be as great as the last while continuing to deliver Siilk Legend’s signature blend of dancehall, pop, hip-hop, and R&B.
