The message that upcoming dancehall artist, Brigante is looking to share with the world after his breakout single “Dutty Stop” took to the air last year, is fast becoming an earworm.
David Jnr Wardman Bernard also known as Brigante is an upcoming Reggae, Dancehall artist whose style resonates with that of his Idols, Sean Paul, Vybez cartel and many others.
David says this form of music is all about pushing love and the importance of not losing self and being true to one’s self.
“It’s all about sharing the love, being themselves and not forgetting who they truly are.”
Unlike other songs heard on mainstream that are in English, Tok Pisin or a mixture of both, Dutty Stop is sung in Jamaican Patois, which is an English creole mix language, much like Tok Pisin itself.
When asked how long it took to completely translate the lyrics, David explained that it took quite some time.
“It actually took 2 years for me to actually get the lyrics translated. I had to make sure that I wouldn’t make a mistake or use any offensive language.”
He explained that his way of composing music is slightly different, as he tries his best to incorporate powerful positive messages into his lyrics.
