Pahjo links with Problem Child on “Identity”

Hailing from Georgetown in Guyana, Patrick Joseph, known in the music world as Pahjo, has become a revered figure in the Soca music scene, bridging cultures and continents with his infectious beats and compelling lyrics. Pahjo’s journey in music began after he migrated to the UK at the age of 19, leaving behind a deep love for cricket and Soca, two quintessential elements of West Indian culture.

His 2020 debut single, “Ah Mas,” produced by his longtime friend Joel Browne, revealed Pahjo’s natural talent for songwriting, setting him on a path that has seen him contribute to the Guyanese Soca music industry in significant ways. By 2023, his efforts were recognised with the Best Male Soca Artiste Award at the Demroc Music Awards, marking him as a rising star with a mission to elevate Guyanese Soca on the global stage.

Problem Child is an artist originally from St. Vincent but raised in Brooklyn where he developed his unique fusion of Caribbean and American influences, making a name for himself with hits like “Real Badboy” and “High Whole Night.” His music draws on the diversity of his background, blending hip hop, dancehall and Soca into an exciting mix that’s struck a chord with audiences around the world. A two-time winner of the Vincy Road March competition, Problem Child has collaborated with big names such as Beenie Man and Bunji Garlin, confirming his status as a global ambassador for Soca music.

Now, Pahjo and Problem Child have come together for their thrilling new collaborative single titled “Identity.” Backed by Caricom Music’s Executive Producer Gareth Sinnerine, also known as G-Sinnz, this collaboration serves up a celebration of cultural unity and personal expression.

Jumping straight into an uptempo jam with the lively shuffle of drums and vibrant arrangement, bouncy vocals immediately set a joyous vibe with catchy lines riding the grooving rhythm. Flowing with slick vocal delivery over the danceable energy of the instrumentation, “Identity” lays down an infectious sound that’s impossible not to love.

Sure to get people moving and grooving around the world, “Identity” sees Pahjo and Problem Child offer a stunning display of their charming musical output via a superb collaboration that draws on the talents of both artists, resulting in a stellar track that’s more than the sum of its parts. With this celebration of acceptance and togetherness, it’s a colourful and instantly memorable outing that sees the two artists cook up musical magic together, brought to life by the vision of G-Sinnz and Caricom Music.
