Skillibeng Kicks Off Tour Starting October 1st

Dancehall Jamaican artist Skillibeng is set to go on tour starting today October 1st. Skilli has been lighting up the scenes with many of his songs crossing over & reaching millions of listeners globally. Skill has received love & collaborated with various American artists including Nicki Minaj, Fivio Foreign, French Montana & DJ Khaled.

Skill began making music in high school & continued while simultaneously working for his father’s business. It wasn’t until after a fatal car accident he decided to bet on himself and pursue music full time.

​“One night, I left my 9 – 5 and I had an interview in Portmore with [Jamaican DJ] SupaHype,” he remembers. ​“I was on my way driving to Kingston to link up with [manager and lifelong friend] Dippa, so we could go to Portmore for the interview. When I reached Yallahs, I met with an accident.”

“I had to make that choice between music and the 9 – 5, because I knew that I was overworking myself trying to satisfy both career paths.”

Skilli’s sound isn’t the typical Dancehall many are used to. Skilli’s sound is very unique. He uses gritty & trap-like beats to create and bring a refreshed sound to the Dancehall genre.

“By the beat and through what I’m saying and how I say it, you can hear Jamaica,” he says. “If you listen to where dancehall started, it has evolved through the years. [What I do] is just a new sound right now.” He told Rolling Stone.

Skillibeng’s tour is about a little over a month-long starting with Guyana as its first location and then the final stop is Toronto. Ticket prices are about $50. With Skill’s drive & ability to reach listeners globally he is definitely making a statement by doing this tour. He is highlighting his impact on Dancehall and how he’s taking the genre to the next level.
