On-the-ris e deejay Skillibeng is generating a buzz with his latest single Life A Life , released on the East Syde Records label in December 2018.

“This song has soothed a lot of people and is still doing so at the moment. No negativity, just a positive vibe. it already has over 120,000 views as people are gravitating towards it in a real way and we will be stepping up the promotion even more in March,” Skillibeng told the Jamaica Observer.

He also plans to release his Prodigy mixtape in the summer.

“This mixtape ah pure gold, the hottest mixtape in a while now,” he said.

Skillibeng (given name Emwah Warmington) grew up in the Lyssons district in Retreat, St Thomas, where he attended Morant Bay High. He was part of a dance group while in high school and was naturally drawn to entertainment.

He also got the nickname Skillibeng while in school.

“The name Skillibeng is a representation of Jamaican music overall, because it is a word people automatically associate with dancehall and reggae, so it connect — but I have a different more modern approach to the art form,” he said.

He got his break in 2016 with the single Brain Parts.

“I got great feedback from the public to this song, especially in St Thomas. But I was young at the time without proper guidance, so I didn’t want to just jump in the music without a plan, or a management structure,” he said.

His other songs include Skilli She Love, and Pain and Emotion.
