Striva 1X to release ‘Repatriation’ | Entertainment

Dancehall and reggae artiste Striva 1X is gearing up to release his debut album Repatriation on June 15.

The six-song set is co-produced by 1X Entertainment and Stopless International. Among the tracks are Game Changer, the title track Elegant, and the lead single Sleepless Nights.

“What really inspired me to write Sleepless Nights are some real-life challenges and experience that I faced in life. This song is a very realistic song that a lot of people can relate to. It is based on daily struggles and rough life that we’ve been through while growing up. A lot of inspiration behind this comes from missing my uncle as well, who basically grow me as a father. He passed away and I had a lot of sleepless nights because of this,” he shared. The song was released in January.

Striva 1X, whose given name is Kishawn Sterling, is from Milk River in Clarendon. He resides in Virginia, USA.

“I began doing music from a young age. I produce my own music as well as those for other artistes,” he said. The multi-faceted artiste also does video production and graphic designs.

“I am bringing the full package. I am also paving a way and making my own lane while doing dancehall and reggae music,” said Striva 1X.
