Dancehall artiste Zantelly has a very eclectic taste in music and he’s not afraid to let it show in his music.<\/p>\n
“Growing up in Jamaica, I was exposed to many different genres of music. On the radio, you’d hear reggae, dancehall, hip hop, R&B, soca, calypso, and even jazz. This helped me to develop an eclectic taste in music which is reflected in the music I make. Although I am a dancehall artiste, I don’t limit myself to one genre of music. I like to experiment with different genres and sounds, including reggae, Afrobeat, and soca,” said the artiste.<\/p>\n
The Portland-born deejay, who lists Garnette Silk, Capleton, Sizzla, Wizkid and Vybz Kartel among his musical influences, is currently promoting an Afrobeat track titled\u00a0\u2018Pretty Niki\u2019.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n “I’m getting a lot of positive feedback about this song from my fans and music industry insiders. Everyone is saying it’s going to be a hit, and I believe, with the right kind of promotion, it’s going to blow up. That’s why my team and I are pushing it so hard,” said Zantelly.<\/p>\n He is also promoting two new singles,\u00a0\u2018Take Over\u2019<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>which is a spinoff of Vybz Kartel and Skillibeng’s\u00a0\u2018New Gear\u2019<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0single, and\u00a0\u2018Neva Believe\u2019<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>which was produced by St Thomas-based entities Antsman Records and Hustlas Family.<\/p>\n Zantelly, whose given name is Ajay Harris, has been residing in Montreal, Canada since 2019.
