DJ Skylone starts the beatmaking adventure in 2018, at 19, from Bouillante on the Basse-Terre side, one of the most discreet geographies in platform Bouyon Gwada. His first documented upload is "I See You Baby" with Doc J in April 2018, a Bouyon remix that plugs him into Dominican voices early through Doc J's network. The same year, he releases "Guitare Riddim" and drops free-download instrus on YouTube, a classic beatmaker model moving the sound without a middleman. In 2019, "Noel Rive" extends the run, then "Chrismas Skay Riddim" in 2020 under the Skay Beats alias. From 2024 onwards, the pace lifts and releases shift to platform mode: "Sa Ka Bay" with TIITII NBA drops on December 20, 2024 via Heaven Studio, then "No Time" on September 24, 2025, a single whose credits show the shared composition (Kelyan Absalon composer and beatmaker, Terry Capitolin lyricist). On streaming platforms and, his artist name appears with the DJ Skaylone spelling, while his SoundCloud handle stays "ti-skylone". Both spellings refer to the same person.

Where to listen
Bouillante 2018: the first trace
When DJ Skylone puts "I See You Baby" online in April 2018, remixed with Doc J, he is 19 and living in Bouillante on the Basse-Terre side, not the Pointe-à-Pitre / Les Abymes axis associated with platform-era Bouyon Gwada. That geography counts: while the first Gwada wave concentrates on the Grande-Terre side, Skylone builds his catalogue from the other side of the island, and he opens early towards Dominica through the Doc J featuring. The model is a classic of 2010s beatmakers: YouTube, free download, and the instrumental circulating from WhatsApp to WhatsApp.
Instrumental riddims: the YouTube method
Between 2018 and 2020, Skylone releases three documented riddims as free downloads: "Guitare Riddim" in 2018, "Noel Rive" in 2019, "Chrismas Skay Riddim" in 2020. He also operates under the alias Skay Beats, his official YouTube channel. No streaming platform at that point for those titles, just the channel he feeds himself. That model is what built the grammar of instrumental Bouyon Gwada: one beatmaker, one riddim, one free download, and any artist can lay on it.
2024-2025: the platform tilt with TIITII NBA
The real turn comes with two singles co-signed with TIITII NBA. "Sa Ka Bay" comes out on 20 December 2024 on Heaven Studio, then "No Time" on 24 September 2025. The Qobuz credits for "No Time" are rare within the Bouyon network: Kelyan Absalon is credited as both composer and beat maker, Terry Capitolin as lyricist. The single runs in 24-Bit/48 kHz, high-resolution quality format. On the platforms the spelling used is "DJ Skaylone", the commercial form coexisting with his SoundCloud handle "ti-skylone". Both designate the same person, and this profile keeps that double trace.
