Chillum keeps it positive
Up-and-coming dancehall artiste Chillum believes in the power of positive music.
“Music is one of the most influential mediums and it must be used for the betterment of the people. Therefore, I will always sing songs that carry positive messages. I don’t deal with negativity, so I don’t want it in my music,” said the artiste.
The Clarendon-born singjay — who lists Dennis Brown, Barrington Levy, Cocoa Tea and his brother Ras Kronik as some of his musical influences — is on a mission to spread love and consciousness worldwide with his music.
He’s currently promoting It’s OK, recorded on the Logic Mix rhythm for Pandemic Records.
“I’m pleased with the response that this song is getting. It’s receiving a lot of support from deejays all over the world,” he said.
Chillum is also pushing a new single, titled One Day, released on August 13.
Chillum (given name: Leroy Edwards) hails from James Hill in Clarendon.
He launched his recording career with World Prayer featuring Ras Kronik on the Pandemic Records imprint in 2021.
