Dancehall artiste, J.Derobie who won the hearts of music lovers with his hit single, ‘Poverty’ has reacted to claims that he does not look like a dancehall artiste.
According to him, the perception that all dancehall acts should look unkempt and act rowdy is wrong.
“I am not going to change from me because I do dancehall and people expect me to look a certain way. I portray the other side of what other dancehall artistes should look like”.
Speaking in an interview with NY DJ on YFM in Kumasi, the musician said dancehall comes in different ways and he portrays the other side of what other dancehall artistes should look like.
J. Derobie however noted that he does not perform with his calm nature while on stage.
“When I mount stages, it is a different situation altogether. I am not my calm self at all. The music and crowd is something that drives me,” he said
When he mounts stages, he is driven by the music and crowd, to put up his best.
The talented musician released the Nungua Diaries project last year.
The EP which was inspired by his life and growing up in Nungua, is about love, real life and the struggles of young men seeking to make it in life.
