THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK
He is a very much late bloomer in the local
music scene. But Steven Seti (aka Slimy Bwoy) has already stamp his mark in the
music industry, capturing a big following since he burst onto the airwaves in
the past month.
No one really expected the 28 year old, who
hails from Sikai’ana in the Malaita Outer Islands, to venture, explore and
become a household name in such a very short time.
Seti linked up with friends from the Ronlus
band who then introduced him to well-known local producer of Shefram Studios,
Baka Solomon. “We talked about writing a Song and they all liked the idea and
suggested that I start off with a song in my local dialect. We all started
composing a song- a combination of English, Pidgin and Sikai’ana dialects, which
we thought would suit local music lovers both in Honiara, the provinces and
also overseas”.
Starting off with the crew from Shefram, Seti
began recording the song “Hale Mai” but somewhere in between found a missing
gap that still needed to be filled. He was in for a shock of his life when out
of the blue, Evan Rush from the popular band – DMP came into the studio and
agreed to offer his talents to fill in the Missing Gap. “I was totally blown
away when Evan walked into the studio. I could not believe it. It was like a
dream come true seeing such a well-known, established artist come in and take
part in my song”.
“Hale Mai” is now slowly making its way up to
the top local hits in the country with fans favoring its dance beat vibes and
especially the local dialect which has already been made popular by another
local Sikai’ana artist in Vania.
