Dwain B. Frett: Humorous entertainer & composer
We first noticed Mr Frett during his amazing performance at the recently held Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) pageant where he thrilled the audience and had them asking for more. His athletic frame was moving in all directions with ease as he entertained the crowd with his tunes on how much he hated the pesky, blood-sucking mosquitoes and his wish to have them all destroyed on his own.
He also, through song, told of the disadvantage of being without a ride of his own and without much money to take the bus, having to rely on hitchhiking to get around. He said many times he would be late for his various engagements until a Good Samaritan would came along and have pity on him, and give him a ride. Another catchy tune was about telephone messaging and sometimes that person who you are conversing with would read the text and not respond, or they are online and don’t even open your message to read it.
Frett said the songs were his way of speaking about things that affect people.
“First of all I make songs about what I know about, that’s what I know about so I sing about that,” he told Virgin Islands News Online. “All of them are past experiences.”
