Meanwhile Dynamic US based young artiste Shatta Youth (Gibran) is carded to make his local debut at the shows among the line up carded to perform at the shows. The Guyana born kid age 20, discovered his lyrical talents as an adolescent and began singing with friends Randy ‘Lil Slim’ and Sayon ‘Beanz’ but soon realised his unique aptitude for song writing.
As this passion developed over the years and after moving to New York he dedicated his time to honing his talent as a soca, reggae singer and a songwriter. He aspires to someday be like his idols Elvise Presley and Hip Hop Legend Eminem combined.
He got his break after meeting with Avinash Singh of Superstone Productions on the shoot for the hit single “Rum Drinkaz” by Guyanese icons Terry Gajraj and Adrian Dutchin. Shatta Youth has since recorded several hit singles such as “Wine Up On Me” and “Bashment Party” and has preformed along side Chutney/Soca sensations the likes of Terry Gajraj.
Popularly known as Shatta Youth, he says he will be dishing some youthful vibes as part of the cast.
