The year 2015 is looking quite promising for emerging dancehall act Chilando, who is keen to prove himself on the global stage this year.

Busy on the promotional trail with a set of songs that seem to have found quite a bit of favour within the dancehall, the singjay is confident that the big break is just a breath away.

"The songs have taken wings," an enthusiastic Chilando reported in reference to the singles Life Too Short (Chimney Records) Stay Inna Yuh Lane, and Wah Run Road Now on the 'Ghetto Bible' rhythm, which are enjoying good rotations, on radio in the United Kingdom.

'risnsing the songs'

According to the singjay's management team, several disc jocks in the UK have been 'risnsing the songs' and have been reaching out to them for interviews with the artiste and also for drops and specials.

"The songs already have their visa, so it's just a matter of time before Chilando secures his work permit for the UK," a member of his management team said.

In fact, so solid is this breakthrough that a mixtape done by DJ Lady K of Flames FM featuring the three songs, among others, was given a spotlight by DJ MissaJam, who spins on the highly respected BBC1Extra.

For Chilando and his team, this kind of exposure is better than anything they could have paid for. Chilando was recently added to the line-up of the annual Brit Jam, voted the number one party holiday from the UK. It is set for March 11-17. Chilando will be performing on March 12 at the Aquasol Theme Park.
