Silver Cat


New biography update is due “Consummate performer” is an under statement when referring to Silver Cat. With raw energy and cool charisma, this artiste feeds on the vibe of the audience to deliver a heart stopping, power packed show. Audiences around the world including those in Europe, Canada, the United Sates and the Caribbean have rocked to the rhythms of this gravel voiced deejay who travelled from a small town in rural Jamaica to make his name. Neil McDonald left his family home at age 19 with the support of his mother for the Jamaican music capital Kingston. Though he was a popular Clarendon based performer, Silver Cat sought to prove to his doubtful father that he could be a successful entertainer. Cat headed straight for the renowned Penthouse Studios where he voiced two unsuccessful tracks; “Oh La La La” and “I Know”. Disenchanted, Silver Cat wanted to find a label dedicated to his development as an artiste. He was introduced to Patrick Roberts of Shocking Vibes Productions by a mutual friend and found the label to catapult him onto the charts. At Shocking Vibes, Silver Cat voiced “Dead In Yah”, an underground hit that was not able to secure airplay due to perceived violent references. Alternating his lyrical style from comedian to rebel, Silver Cat voiced a series of tracks ensuring his status as a dancehall force. “Fowl Affair”, “Deon”, “Naw Go Bow” and “Going Back For Mi M16” each hit the charts with a bang. Cat continues to record with prominent producers and maintains a reservoir of lyrics for himself and other artistes. All new material will appear on his upcoming album for Shocking Vibes. Despite recording and touring, Silver Cat has stayed close to his roots. He still lives in Clarendon close to his family. He has also, explored business interests outside of music. Silver Cat stresses that he is both mentally and physically prepared for the days ahead and promises that the performances, which have become a hallmark of his stage persona will be much in evidence.
