Guilda

Guilda was born on June 19th, 1991, on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Maarten. From the early stages on, his world was filled with music. His father was a well-respected figure in the soca, calypso and carnival music scene. His cousin, an artist himself, introduced him to the art of Hip-Hop. The love was almost instant. Guilda began memorizing and reciting lyrics for fun until eventually, his brother pushed him to write his own. Long sleepless nights ensued, as Guilda was hell-bent on perfecting his craft. He continued memorizing lyrics, began to write his own, made beats, and even attempted to learn how to play the piano.
As the years went by, Guilda met his now long time friend 'The Cut Creator DJ Outkast" through his brother. Upon introduction, DJ Outkast asked Guilda to drop freestyle immediately outside his gate. He did, but DJ Outkast showed no interest and said he was not impressed. This left Guilda practicing his craft even more, determined to make and leave a good impression on the DJ and on St. Maarten.
A couple of weeks later, Guilda performed his first show ever with his friend Woodsen Lazarre. They won the show and as a prize, got to record a song in a professional studio. DJ Outkast was in attendance and was thoroughly impressed this time around. The rest is history.
Guilda performed at multiple shows, gaining experience along the way and the respect of the people of St. Maarten. In 2004, he won 'Rookie of the year" at the 'Beat Street Local Hip-Hop Awards", but the awards were just the tip of the iceberg. Guilda wanted more.
He climbed the ranks on the local scene and by 2008 he was publicly known as the Best Rapper On St. Maarten. Guilda's long time friend, Jeremy Reed, approached him to join a group of artists that had the intention to control the local hip-hop scene on St. Maarten. The group, known as RSLS (Rock Star Life Style), quickly became the powerhouse of the island, doing shows and dropping six mixtapes in 2011. They also ventured off into graphic designing and video directing.

In 2011, Guilda met DJ Genie through DJ Outkast. Dj Genie had approached Dj Outkast to form the Caribbean super group called Shadyville Caribbean. The group members were supposed to be DJ's only, but Genie saw potential in Guilda and made him a group member as well.
Having made a name for himself in his own backyard, Guilda ventured off into other things like Radio, Party and a TV Show Hosting. The sky will never be the limit for Guilda, he's on that 'Moon Life". Follow him on his journey to the top of the Pyramid, where he rightfully belongs.
