UP-and-coming singjay Chilando said he is set on making his musical mark in the entertainment industry.

“I want to be a musical icon. That is, I want my lyrics to be fresh in the minds of others decades from now,” the former William Knibb student told the Jamaica Observer.

Hailing from Montego Bay, Chilando (Chilando Spencer) emerged on the music scene several years ago. He is best known for singles such as Girls Dem Rush We, Swagg Tun Up, Girl I’m Missing You and Every Day I Pray — a collab with dancehall acts Maxwell and Jahvaska. His most recent track is a soca collab with Mad Dog entitled Roll Like A Thunder.

“I want to be a well-rounded entertainer. I always aim at giving a show not to just enter a stage, spit a few lyrics and get off,” he said.

Chilando is also a video editor and graphic designer.

The singjay advises young and established acts to strive for a thorough knowledge of the music business as it relates to publishing, distributing and copyright law.

“Without such knowledge it is extremely difficult to get that big break and to maintain it,” he explained.
