Emerging dancehall artiste Dahvanka has teamed up with Belizean entertainer Brithney Starr for a club banger titled Real Man that is generating a major buzz in the Caribbean and South America. "The response has been wonderful, and the views are really picking up, especially in the Caribbean. They love the flavour and the chemistry between me and Brithney Starr," Dahvanka said.
The dancehall single was released on his own Late Night God Music label. He recently performed on a show in Belize, which also featured Valiant and Shenseea. Dahvanka said he got a major 'forward' for his new single.
"The vibe on the Belizean show was so incredible. We are now planning to do a video for the project," Dahvanka said. He will be releasing a nine-track EP this summer, featuring Real Man along with a raft of unreleased songs.
"The fans are going to love the rhythms; a mix of dancehall, reggae, tracks-dancehall and island music ...
the production is top-notch," he said. Hailing from Waterhouse, St Andrew, he grew up in a large family with his mother, Sapphire, who is also a performer. His love for music was stoked by frequent trips to recording studios when he was a child and family performances that encouraged his musical creativity and songwriting abilities.
He began performing covers of Jamaican artistes' singles and his own songs in the early 2000s, adopting the name Dahvanka. "My name is a form of self-imagery. The root of the name is from 'Jah', which I converted to 'Dah' and the term '.
