A Beatchild named Slakah

I was on the track (getting sexy for 2011) walking it out when this song by who I thought was Drake at the time came on. It wasn't till later on in the day that I saw that it was by Slakah the Beatchild ft. Drake. The song was called Enjoy ya Self V2. So of course this made me curious to the rest of his music and a little more of his background.

"Fueled by greats such as J-Dilla, Raphael Saadiq & Pete Rock, multi instrumentalist and recording artist/producer Slakah the Beatchild's music is often described as a breath of fresh air. Soulful chords, warm harmonies & intricate progressions are the root of this unique feel good sound.
Raised on the finest old school soca, calypso, reggae & classic soul, Slakah the Beatchild has a true appreciation for writing styles, musicianship, recording & mixing techniques of the early analog years. At an early age his Grenadian born parents would give him 8 track tapes from the Fat Boys to Bobby McFerrin. In no time the Beatchild wanted to learn how to play the music he loved listening to and his parents enrolled him in drum, piano, violin & vocal lessons. His natural talent, coupled with the music theory all helped build a strong foundation for Slakah's unique sound.

Today he works with artists around the world producing everything from R&B to rock earning 3 Juno nominations (Canadian Grammy). He's worked with major labels such as BBE, Universal, Warner, SonyBMG & Somerset Ent and runs his own production studio Beatchild Productions. In addition to producing for others, Slakah the Beatchild performs as a solo artist & DJ." (taken from BBE site.)
