Rising Jamaican Artist Quoyard Eyes Global Collaborations With Skillibeng, Kanye West, and Travis Scott

Rising Jamaican artist Quoyard is setting his sights far beyond the island, naming the stars he hopes to collaborate with while defining the mission behind his artistry.

For dancehall, his first pick is immediate:
“Skilli — for sure,” he told WMV.

Skillibeng’s ascent from St. Thomas to the global stage has been one of the genre’s most significant success stories of the decade. With Hot 100 hits and collaborations spanning Nicki Minaj to Tyla, major festival appearances, and a rapidly expanding U.S. fan base, the Whap Whap artist recently crossed 1 billion Spotify streams. A link with Quoyard would place him directly among the movement’s global-shifting acts.

Internationally, Quoyard’s ambitions take an even wider leap:
“Kanye West for production… me and Travis Scott could make something crazy.”

Ye’s, formerly Kanye’s influence on modern music — from classic soul-sampling eras to boundary-pushing experimental phases — has shaped some of the most important sounds of the 21st century. Travis Scott’s atmospheric, high-impact style continues to dominate global festivals and streaming platforms. Quoyard envisions himself fitting naturally into that creative universe.

But beyond collaborations and career milestones, Quoyard is driven by a deeper purpose.
“My purpose is to motivate people to be their authentic selves. No one should be afraid to chase who they want to become.”

He hopes his journey becomes an example for others striving toward their own ambitions:
“I’m special — but I’m not special alone. Everybody has something in them. If you chase it long enough, you can get where you want to go.”

With clear direction, bold aspirations, and a message rooted in empowerment, WMV‘s Artist Of The Week Quoyard is positioning himself as one of the next Jamaican artists ready to rise on the world stage.
