Jillionaire

The story so far.

Written and edited by Smokiller

Jillionaire is the stage name of Christopher Leacock, a Trinidadian DJ and producer. He joined Major Lazer in 2011 alongside Walshy Fire and stayed until June 2019, when he stepped away to focus on his own projects. His solo catalogue leans on Caribbean voices. "Warriors Love" features Bunji Garlin, "Ants Nest" pairs him with Swick and T.O.K., and "Sunrise" brought in Fuse ODG and Fatman Scoop in 2017. He made the Jillionaire Remix of "I Am African" by Calypso Rose featuring Bunji Garlin, and in 2021 he joined Oryane on "Andale", with Mical Teja on the second part. Behind the desk he co-produced Olatunji's "TGIF" with Roëndy Rosanjo, a lyric video posted by Feel Up Records. His Wikipedia entry lists Mad Decent and Feel Up as labels and names soca, dancehall and EDM as his genres, and an interview on YouTube discusses his push to bring soca to North America.
