After migrating from the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago, Manchilde cut his teeth in the very fierce Toronto Hip Hop movement of the
early nineties. It was a hungry time in Canada, one in which the young Hip Hop community had to prove that it was a legitimate force in the
Canadian music industry.
Manchilde's most recent material appears on two albums by the Vancouver-born, Montreal-based Hip Hop producer, Think Twice. Released in Japan
in 2007 and 2008, Think Twice's A Loop and Some Swing and Rock to this Beat have begun to develop a Japanese fan base for Manchilde and the new
troop of artists with whom he now collaborates. Manchilde has already completed shooting on the first video from the upcoming solo album
From Child to Man and has recently recorded with reggae artists in Kingston, Jamaica to round out the album. |
