Why I Changed My Name to Shilay

Why I chose to embrace my true identity as Shilay

A Difficult Decision

Making the final decision to change my artist name wasn't easy. In fact, it was one of the hardest choices I've had to make about my identity.

A Childhood Dream

Growing up in Haiti, I used to dream big. I envisioned myself as a massive star, not as Shilderic, but as Shilay. That name had always lived in the back of my mind, like a prophecy waiting to be fulfilled.

Finding My True Self

After years of releasing music as Shilderic, I started to feel a disconnect between my stage name and my true self. The name Shilay represents a new chapter, one that is more authentic and aligned with my vision as an artist.

More Than Just a Name

This change is not just about branding; it's about reclaiming my story, my voice, and embracing the journey of self-discovery. I hope you join me as Shilay and continue to support my music and my evolution.
