LOCAL singer and song writer, Jonathan ‘Lil Red’ King, has launched his small business of mixed fresh fruits entrées, as a way of promoting a healthy lifestyle and to become financially viable in his musical career.
The name of his business is “Fruitylicious GY”, and according to ‘Lil Red’ it is the preferably healthy choice for all, be it for a meal or a snack.

The 25-year-old told ‘The Buzz’ that it’s his part-time business with his mother, Michelle ‘Big Red’ King as his only helper, and a small time operation right out of their home.
He said local fruits are purchased from farmers and depending what fruits are in season his bowl has seven different fruits at a reasonable price of $500 and $1000 based on the bowl size.

King related that he started his business in December 2018, despite a few challenges and he makes about 50 fruit bowls per day, with free delivery around Georgetown.
“My business will grow in time, since I have some plans to expand, in which I want to have fruit stalls around the busy intersections in Berbice, Demerara and Essequibo, where I will employ youths to manage the operations of those fruit stalls,” King said.

His vision is, to have a salad bar where customers can customise their own salads and smoothies, to create an app (Fruitylicious GY) for smartphones in which salads can be customised, and too, stage live viewing, from preparation to delivery, in any country he chooses to start a business.

King envisages his business becoming a multi-million dollar operation. It’s his hope also, that based on the revenue from his business, he will participate in next year’s Soca Monarch competition, becoming financially viable to do so without sponsors.

He also plans to introduce to the Guyanese public a new track titled ‘Conscious Soca’; which is a combination of Gospel and Soca.

King is seeking support to enhance his music career as a local artiste, and can be reached on telephone number 630-4056.
