NAILAH BLACKMAN<br />
Nailah Blackman is taking Trinidad & Tobago, the Caribbean<br />
and the World by storm. Nailah is born in music, music is part of<br />
her DNA.<br />
Daughter of well-known Trinidadian Calypso Artist Abbi<br />
Blackman, and Granddaughter of the late Ras Shorty I, the<br />
founder of Sokah Music and the related genre Chutney Sokah.<br />
With this ancestry in Sokah royalty, Nailah has been immersed<br />
in music her entire life and is an accomplished musician not<br />
only classically trained in voice but also in various instruments<br />
including the guitar and keyboards. Nailah is also a prolific<br />
songwriter and composer and continues to write and compose<br />
her own songs.<br />
2017 has been her break out year with 3 mega hits back to<br />

She closed off 2017 on a high note celebrating her 20th birthday on<br />
December 2nd, launching her first EP “Sokah” and her live band<br />
by the same name. The concert was a huge success and brought<br />
together some of the most talented upcoming Trinidad artists.<br />
The title track of the EP “Sokah” is a trendy tribute to the Trinidad and<br />
Tobagonian culture and to the love she has for her country. The video<br />
features Len Boogsie Sharpe on steelpan and Mungal Patasar on sitar.<br />
