ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- He may appear to be a typical twenty-six-year-old, but what caught our eyes about Dwain B. Frett was his natural prowess at setting the stage on fire with his stage personality and humorous lyrical rendition.

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.”

Statistical Officer/Financial Management student @ HLSCC

The budding artist grew up and still resides in the community of East End. He is understudying Financial Management at the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC) and is employed as a statistical Officer in the Public Service. In his spare time, he enjoys a great viewing of Dragon Balls and also video gaming.

These days he is also penning another song.

Frett mentioned that from a young boy growing up he would make songs out of simple everyday things, like his mother coming home from work.

The Mosquito Song was written in 2003 and recorded in 2014, Catching a ride, was compiled in 2009 and recorded in 2014 and Answer was his latest, it was penned in 2014 and officially recorded in 2015.

He disclosed that since 2008, to present he has been a background singer in the band Men of Standards.

When asked about his plans for his musical talents, he explained that he is unsure of the destination, but he is optimistic and is taking life one day at a time.

    When I saw this Guy at East End Cricket field performing for Digicel. After I went and ask him can I manage you. All u need to do is learn to hold a melody.. Once u can do that. U will make it big. Because u have something special.. Instead he put me on to a lady singer who can really sing. But that's the only thing she was a good singer...Nothing else.. No personalty. Lazy. Can't follow instructions.. A singer has to be alot more than a singer to make it. Tall boy has it all except the singing..he can develop that..Big up Digicel for giving him the exposure....
