2 Mile Hill shared with Mélange . . .
About the birth of the band
When we were at university we got together to play music for the pure enjoyment of it . We all loved music even though we were pursuing different degrees . It just clicked and after we graduated and we decided this is what we wanted as a career .
About the band members
Some of us went to secondary school together and the rest of us met along the way through mutual friends in music and otherwise . Our drummer Chadd was actually a student of our previous drummer who passed on the mantle to him .
Mahalia is the lead vocalist and songwriter , André is the keyboardist and producer . He is also our Musical Director . Russell is the guitarist , Kris is our bassist and Chadd is our drummer .
About the name “ 2 Mile Hill ”
When we were searching for band names we had the idea to use a place from home , a Barbadian neighbourhood or street name . Wish there was some really interesting reason behind it but we just threw a bunch of names out there and 2 Mile Hill sounded the coolest , and it stuck .
About their music genre
Our style is a blend of Caribbean vibes , with hip hop and soul . We all have different favourites at different times but we can all agree that we love the energy that comes with performing our track “ Let It Go ”.
About their musical influences
There have been many influences over the years but for our lead singer Mahalia , Lauryn Hill is at the very top of her list . She got the opportunity to meet her idol recently and she nearly fainted , lol .
About their performances
We ’ ve travelled around the Caribbean region to the likes of St . Vincent and the Grenadines , St . Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago . We ’ ve also toured the US , and performed in Canada and across the pond in Europe .
About what they do to keep motivated
Dancing , immersing ourselves in the party scene , watching live concerts and other bands ’ musical arrangements , so the music is always there .
About access to their music
Our music is available online worldwide . Download on iTunes , Google Play , Amazon and more . Fans can even stream on Spotify and Apple Music .
