Slimz

Dwayne SlimZ Alleyne is destined to do big things. Born into a family of people with the great ability to sing and perform, he has natural talent but he does not take this for granted as he works hard at developing his talent to reach his full potential. His dad, Victor Alleyne, is in SlimZ eyes, the best singer; My Pops got skillz fa real, he says.Even though his family is musically inclined, Dwayne got his push into the music industry from many of his friends but one in particular was undeniably supportive. This was his old schoolmate Danny "Dunnz" Reid, who also sings. Through Dunnz, SlimZ was introduced to producer, Kristian K. B. Sharp Broomes and was featured on Dunnz first single, I Got Your Style where he blessed the hook with his vocals. SlimZ made such an impression on K. B. Sharp that he was asked to bless yet another track, this time it was Buggys Nubian Girl.Sadly, his freshly blossoming career was put on hold for a few years due to the death of his closest friend, his brother. He got himself back on track, however, and began writing and singing every day. SlimZ also worked on perfecting the art of freestyling to any beat that he heard.SlimZ then met his current producer, Matthew Feww-ture Ashby to form the best collaboration ever. Together, they pushed hard to get into recording studios but failed. They persevered and finally got a break at Slam City Studios, which is owned by one of Barbados best producers Chris Allman. He loved the pairs drive, determination and talent. He gave them the break they needed and worked so hard to achieve.It was there SlimZ recorded his first single, Dirty Tango which featured Kirk Brown who is now a lead vocalist in Barbados hit band Strategy. SlimZ then moved on to do guest performances with the Toni Norville Band and also to perform at various clubs in Barbados. With each performance he hyped his crowd, giving his best and each show was loved by all who had the pleasure of being there.SlimZ got another big break when he was approached by Kirk Brown, who was featured in his first single, to perform as a guest with his band Strategy. Without hesitation SlimZ took the stage and as usual did his best and wowed his crowd. Kirk Brown describes it as, something that could be destined for greatness hence he brought SlimZ onto his Good Entertainment team where he is now a songwriter, artist and vocalist backed by the band Strategy. SlimZ appreciation for Kirk Brown was expressed as he had this to say, Kirk Brown believed in me more than I did in myself and has had faith in me from the very beginning. I owe him big time.Working with Kirk Brown of Strategy is always a pleasure and he pushes me far beyond my limits and shows me how to be professional about it.. He now performs with the band two nights a week, Tuesday nights at The Boatyard and Thursday nights at The Ship Inn, St. Lawrence Gap. Each night is hott and full of energy. This young, dynamic singer never disappoints his fans. His style of writing and his extra hyped performances would make other artistes aim to reach his level.Although he is doing a lot more performing now than he had before, SlimZ still writes his own songs. He also co-wrote Barbados upcoming singing sensation Shontelles first single, Automatic. He is now also in the process of releasing new tracks.SlimZ' passion for music goes far beyond just making ends meet. He aims to make everyone who has had the pleasure of his listening to his music, love it forever. He has been compared to R. Kelly with his style of writing and singing his songs. However, he chooses to say that his style is one that he alone can reproduce. Humble; he tries also to help others in the music business and show them that with persistence they can make it if they truly want to. Overall SlimZ is another in this game not to be taken lightly!!
