Dre Blunt for the music

The Jamaica Star

From having a 'sick' state of mind with his lyrics to speaking bluntly, upcoming dancehall artiste Dre Blunt formerly known as Norshous continues to prove that he has lyrical wit and aptitude, assests which are needed to stand out in the music business.

The 24-year-old father to one, Andre Lee who hails from Rockfort in Kingston said the decision to change his popular stage name Norshous to Dre Blunt was based on marketing reasons.

Marketing reasons

"I felt like each time I introduced myself I always had to justify the rationale behind the name, so for marketing reasons and what we are pursuing musically for this year and beyond, myself and my team decided to change the name," he said.

With his song Mi Nuh Have It which propelled him to success and has earned him heavy rotation on the radio, Dre Blunt is seeking to elevate his musical skills for this year and make an even bigger impact that is needed to survive in one of Jamaica's most competitive industries.

In order to appreciate real success, "there has to be great disappointment and I know what that feels like, as my efforts to make a huge impact in the music business is marred by limited resources and trying to find that hit song that will really stick in the minds of everyone," he confessed.

He however contends that the saturation of the dancehall industry has somewhat impacted on his ability to break through. "A mean, most of the artiste who a get a buss nowadays, if you notice are ringtone-type of artiste without any real lyrical content, so with that I hope to use my lyrical wit to cement my position in dancehall," he added.

Nevertheless, he remains confident in his production team and his ability to execute his musical content for the public to enjoy. In the year of great possibilities as he described, the artiste, formerly referred to as Norshous, is intent on letting the public know who he is and what he can do.

Some of his upcoming projects include a mix tape called Billboard Music and a single on the Long Range rhythm, out of Gorilla Records
