African dancehall artiste takes a ‘Day Off’

African dancehall artiste Sasco De Dancehall Chaplain is currently promoting his dance track, Day Off.

"As the name Day Off implies, it's about people taking a break from work to engage in some social activities or partying, in the sense of the song," the artiste explained. With the positive feedback to the track so far, he has high hopes for its success.

"I hope that the song will be greatly appreciated all over the globe, and that it will earn me a lot of local and international awards as some of its benefits, by God's perfect grace," the artiste said.

Hailing from Sierra Leone, Sasco De Dancehall Chaplain has been on the music scene for the past 12 years. His music style combines reggae, dancehall and Afrobeats, which are the predominant sounds in Sierra Leone.

"I decided to do music because it is my talent; I love it and I have passion for it. When I was in primary school, I used to sing for people, and they used to give me money in return. That was how I later realised that I had musical talent and decided to pursue it as a career," he said. Heavily influenced by Jamaican artistes such as Sean Paul, Busy Signal, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Demarco and Konshens, he said that his goal is to visit Jamaica soon, as he considers it his "special home".
