Toward the end of 2017, a haunting voice that appeared all over XXXTENTACION's album 17 became a topic of interest. The voice was that of Shiloh Dynasty, a mysterious artist who became very popular on Vine and then disappeared completely from social media in 2016. Of 11 songs on 17, Shiloh's voice was featured on three of them—"Jocelyn Flores," "Carry On," and "Everyone Dies in Their Nightmares." Shiloh's voice was also featured on Magneto Dayo's Millhouse Memoirs Since then, there's been speculation about Shiloh's gender, whereabouts, and whether or not he or she is even alive.[1] [2]
Biography[edit]
The XXX album, as well as the feature on Millhouse Memoirs, brought a lot of attention to Shiloh, but months later, none of the questions surrounding this enigmatic artist have been answered. Shiloh remains silent, and there's no new information except the fact that Shiloh's Brother Sage Odessa has surfaced.But with the absence, Shiloh's impact has become even more profound in pockets of underground music.[3]
It's not on the charts or in the media, but a little digging reveals just how much influence Shiloh has among a legion of artists and fans, especially in the fast-growing lo-fi community. A Spotify playlist made by a user named raynuralim called "Shiloh Dynasty" features only songs that sample Shiloh, made mostly by DIY artists with lo-fi leaning soundscapes. It includes almost 300 songs. When you click through to the artists included and check out their numbers, almost all of them have one song that's far more popular than all the others. That outlying song is almost always the one that samples Shiloh Dynasty. The enigmatic artist hasn't released a single song in the last six months, but has gone from 5,000 to 50,000 Spotify followers, a 949% increase, according to Indify.
Impact[edit]
There's also this, a 24/7 stream on YouTube that plays only Shiloh-sampled music. At any given time, there are hundreds of listeners, and almost 100,000 likes. The comments section on this live stream is active with fans and other artists discussing the music, sharing their own songs, and talking about their feelings. Many of these users are regulars, who leave and tell the others, "Be back later!"
Even without any activity, Shiloh's following on social media keeps growing. It's been over a year since a post, but Shiloh's Instagram account still gains around 10,000 followers every week. In total, the account has added over 300,000 followers since XXX's album came out.
