Seth Billy One Way CD

Seth Billy began singing from the time he learnt how to speak. Seth only started to share his talent with others in 1994 at a local talent show called the Richard Stoute Teen Talent Contest. The Richard Stoute Teen Talent contest has been the stepping stone for many amateur Barbadian artists who wish to take their talent to the world. Some of the Richard Stoute Teen Talent Contest winners who have gone on to local and international stardom include Rupert Clarke, Edwin Yearwood and Adrian Clarke among many others. In 1994 the show included the original song contest which saw all the competitors who sang original compositions competing against each other. Seth emerged as winner of the Original Song Contest despite the fact that he did not go on to win the final showcase.In the early nineties the Barbados music industry was not as successful as it is today, so talented youngsters found it difficult to find work in the musical arena so Seth looked to develop another one of his God given talents.Singing was not the only talent Seth possessed since he also represented Barbados in track at the CARIFTA games. Seth was offered an athletic scholarship to the University of Wyoming and he accepted it, which meant obviously that his singing ambitions were put on hold.Seth is a firm believer in education and was not about to give up the chance of gaining an education by putting his athletic talent aside.Seth returned to Barbados a winner, since he earned a bachelors degree in Finance and a Masters degree in Information Systems. The love for music and singing did not leave Seth and he decided to develop his musical talent and take his work to the world. In 2006 Seth released his first ragga-soca single “hear me” with a production company called 3 Kings. The song was a hit in 2006 and received lots of radio-play since it was a favorite with the DJ’s at 95.3 FM.At present Seth is working on his debut album called “One Way”…the album boasts production from Dwain Antrobus who is the keyboardist and musical director for Xtatic. Five of the songs on the album are also produced by Grammy award winning producer Jimmi “Seyna” Haynes who produced Steele Pulse’s grammy award winning album “Babylon the Bandit”… the listener can be assured of a quality product when listening to Seth Billy’s album “ONE WAY”.“ONE WAY” is a total blend of roots, ragga-soca and dancehall. In essence one can say “ONE WAY” is essentially a Caribbean product with Caribbean rhythms that will rock anyone who takes a listen. The future of reggae in Barbados looks bright with young disciplined men such as Seth Billy at its helm!
