Three albums and counting
When an artist is serious about his craft, the way Dutty Flex envisions his successes, there’s only one way to press on. That’s precisely the approach this talented, persistent, versatile and independent US based Guyanese artiste, had to succumb.
Already he has completed an album, ‘Fully Loaded’ and now Dutty Flex is aiming to take his music higher heights never experience personally or by his peers. Hence, the birth of his second album dubbed recharged and ‘Reloaded’.
The successful outburst of ‘Fully Loaded’ created a wide opportunistic appeal for Dutty Flex’s follow up album, ‘Reloaded’. If you don’t know this artist yet, you’ll come to know that he’s a perfectionist and his music, no doubt takes center-stage.
‘Reloaded’ breaks open to all, with its worldwide appeal, fusing diverse dance hall music with splashes of West Indian culture, making it a ‘must see, hear and must get’ album. With its lyrical and collective efforts, this album stands up to the test of times and critics.
Dutty Flex is young, full of wit, a talent to be reckoned with and has a promising career in the music industry. So it comes as no surprise when he chose to work with the best and creative ‘on the rise’ artists, to make ‘Reloaded’ an impressive accomplishment.
‘Patience is virtue’. Some would agree but others, including Dutty Flex isn’t one to display this sentiment. He’s beyond serious and passionate about his craft and with this eagerness comes genuine realization that he’s at the top of the pack, the leader on a trail, which takes him to the ultimate place he seeks, in only ‘A matter of time’.
DJ Dutty Flex works with Neil Anthony Bacchus exclusively on the production of his music videos.
His album releases to date include Reloaded, Fully Loaded and OutBreak 2 while his line-up of videos include True Guyanese, To The Girls, Serious Thing (Remix), Serious Thing, My Gal and Be My Girlfriend.
Call him Dutty Flex, if you may but he’s a young and ambitious Guyanese born DJ, who’s been making waves also as a singer and songwriter. Living in New York for most of his life, Dutty Flex takes much pride in the learnt skills of how good music should sound. He’s taken the past eight years of exposure to underground remixes of Hindi music, fused with Caribbean and scores of worldwide influences and made them his trademark. Dutty Flex’s take on music is extremely riveted on a higher level than most of his colleagues, but longevity is what keeps him maturing and comprehending music, in a different light.
Dutty Flex will always be a DJ at heart, but his maturity level has already taken flight. Amidst consistently producing new music, he’s also transitioning from his DJ years, to his present artist status, on the Dancehall Reggae scene. While he stays faithful to his fan base, Dutty Flex’s music has a worldwide appeal, so he’s bridging that gap in the process.
A true artist’s work is never done! While Dutty Flex works diligently to get his name and music heard, he’s also scouting young artists, like himself, but less fortunate, for his compilation records. Thus far, he’s been very successful. In the past, he’s released two (2) albums of such: “Outbreak” and more recently, “Outbreak 2: The Epidemic”. These albums features a little of everything that today’s listeners desire, including Soca, Chutney, Reggaeton, Hip Hop and of course Dancehall Reggae. Already, you can see the camaraderie in this fine artist.
Proving to both himself and his following, Dutty Flex has taken many extreme steps in the right direction, one of his many outstanding achievements are the few music videos he’s already made, that can be easily viewed on his website. With these elements in line, Dutty Flex’s career is taking a more prominent shape as a promised artist. With his eyes set on the prize, you can be assured that every album that he’s involved in, will be a guaranteed success. This is a newcomer, you don’t want to miss. His name is Dutty Flex.
