Dancehall deejay Kashu says he is ready to dominate the industry following a successful 2024 in music.
The hard-hitting lyricist, who won the now-defunct Reggae Trail talent competition in 2003, gained traction during spring following the release of Who Do Dah Body Deh and Mek Good, songs that were produced by US based producer DJ RoH and released earlier this year.
“Especially ‘Do Duh Body Deh’, from mi born mi never get so much love for a song. Right now in Africa, St Maarten, and here in America, the song is one of the hottest dancehall tracks,” a jubilant Kashu, born Daren Williams, said.
The songs have also been getting heavy rotations on several local radio stations, prompting Kashu, who is also a fashion designer, to look ahead with great optimism.
“I am looking to shoot a music video for ‘Mek Good’, it is a sequel to ‘Who Duh Dah Body Deh’ and the vibes surrounding both songs are good. Right now I am focused on next year, to ensure I can continue this momentum,” said the former Vere Technical High School student.
The father of four also shared that he is gearing up to release a new track entitled ‘Push It Out’, which was produced jointly by his Music + Fashion label and Top Lane Records.
“That song will be released in early 2025. They say don’t change the formula if it is working so my aim is to continue delivering songs for the ladies because this year was a very good one for me musically speaking,” Kashu said.
The deejay, who hails from Toll Gate in May Pen, Clarendon, is getting ready to perform at an event with Malie Donn & Frenz in Hartford, Connecticut, USA on December 15.
He recently delivered a memorable performance at Everton Blender’s birthday.
“What I bring to the stage is energy and clarity so anywhere I go it always affi mash up,” the deejay said, three weeks after delivering a strong performance at Everton Blender’s birthday bash on November 24 in Florida.
Kashu is also known for the singles ‘Master Time’ and ‘God Alone’.
