Meet Kalado, Jamaican
dancehall entertainer Eton “Kalado” Gordon was born and raised in the
Maxfield Park area of Kingston, until he moved to Clarendon at the age
of five. He attended Edwin Allen High School, with a keen focus on the
visual arts.In
2013, Kalado became a formidable force in the dancehall music industry
as he became a radio staple for the general public with the singles Make
me Feel, Good Good Bring Life, and Body Nuh Dead. These songs became
immensely popular, accumulating millions of views on YouTube, topped
charts and led to several media outlets to position Kalado as
dancehall’s next elite member. A testament to this was the overwhelming
crowd response that Kalado received for his performance at the Youth
View Awards in February 2014.For
2014, Kalado has already seen success with the release of his Pree
Money and Gyal/Pay Dem Nuh Mind medley video. The medly video has
reached the number one spot on CVM’s Hitlist, and is currently still
charting within the top five tier of TVJ’s Entertainment Report. The
video has also been an internet favourite on industry-leading blogs and
websites. To
further cement his mark, Kalado is working on his debut extended play,
slated for completition later year. Until the project’s release,
listeners can look out for his singles Jealously In The Air, Yardcore
Sex, Out In Time, and Turn It Dah Way Yeh. Another single, the
afrobeat-tinged Personally, will be receiving a visual treatment for
release in April due to immense fan demand.
In
addition to singles, listeners can look out for an electronic dance
music remix of Make Me Feel, and Kalado performances in the Caribbean,
Canada, UK, and wider Europe this year.
