Interview with Omnitune Records Founder Kollah Bone

June 10, 2025 - Hip Hop

My stage name is Kollah Bone. I’m a hip-hop artist, music producer, songwriter, and audio engineer. I was born in Philipsburg, Sint Maarten, and raised by my great-aunts in a religious household where we attended the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. My introduction to gospel music sparked my lifelong relationship with sound, but it was my sister’s music collection that drew me to hip-hop.

I would describe my sound as a rich blend of Caribbean rhythms, American trap, and melodic rap. My lyrics are a blend of raw storytelling infused with island slang, which I attribute to my West Indian roots. Influences like 2Pac, DMX, and Lil Wayne helped guide my lyrical
direction by basing my content around loyalty, struggle, ambition, and perseverance.

My journey in music production began in my teenage years after I discovered Fruity Loops Studio through a cousin. Being self-taught and driven, I started producing for local artists and co-founded the beat-making group DBK (Da Beat Kings) alongside George “G-Wattz” Martin and Rodrique “G-Bone” Richardson. I’ve produced music for Daz Dillinger, Young Jeezy, Cyhi The Prynce, Yung LA, Magazeen, Money Mark Diggla, and Alfamega.

In 2006, I was in negotiations with Def Jam Records, but unfortunately, the deal fell through after the untimely passing of executive Shakir Stewart. In 2014, I was offered a development deal with Cash Money Records, but I declined due to some contractual issues.

In 2024, I launched Omnitune Records, an independent Caribbean label based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. As CEO, I’m involved in artist development, audio engineering, songwriting, and visual direction. The label’s mission is to amplify Caribbean-rooted talent while bridging cultural and musical genres between the islands and Europe.

I’m gearing up to drop my next record called Pain in My Soul. People who’ve heard it are calling it my most vulnerable and powerful record to date. I’m excited about this release and can’t wait to share it with everyone!
