PHILADELPHIA-born singer Phillye is hoping her latest single Get It will give her the big break on the international music scene.

Recorded on the Pull Up rhythm for Head Concussion Records producer Rvssian, Phillye said the dancehall song came as a surprise to many, as she is known for her sultry reggae and R and B crossover singles.

“I have fans all over the world. They communicate with me well online, but I want to really start reaching out to my fans more and giving them the opportunity to hear a more versatile me, so I have done this with Get It,” she said.

She recalls working with several Jamaican producers, but was elated when she was approached by Rvssian.

“I met him online but I know his rhythms are always very creative, so I was elated to get this opportunity to try a different genre,” she said.

Phillye, whose given name is Sonya Dixon, hails from Willow Grove in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She said she got her stage name while at a Kingston studio in Jamaica by top-shelf drummer Sly Dunbar, who described her as a “fine filly”.

“I started listening reggae music from an early age and just knew that the genre was my calling,” she said.

In 2014, she released her debut single called Live Your Life. This was followed by other songs such as Jah Jah Light and Its All Up To You.
