Can you introduce yourself to the people and tell them a bit about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n My stage name is Kollah Bone. I\u2019m a hip-hop artist, music producer, songwriter, and audio engineer. I was born in Philipsburg, Sint Maarten, and raised by my great-aunts in a religious household where we attended the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

Being self-taught and driven, I started producing for local artists and co-founded the beat-making group DBK (Da Beat Kings) alongside George \u201cG-Wattz\u201d Martin and Rodrique \u201cG-Bone\u201d Richardson. I\u2019ve produced music for Daz Dillinger, Young Jeezy, Cyhi The Prynce, Yung LA, Magazeen, Money Mark Diggla, and Alfamega.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve come close to landing a few deals throughout your career.
