DELLON Alpheus Hinds is all set to officially release his ‘Frozen Riddim’ at midnight on Friday, featuring 13 talented local artistes that he has worked along with voluntarily to boost their music in the local industry.

Hinds has experienced the difficulty of moving music forward, mainly due to a lack of resources. Because of that, he’s expressed determination to do all he can to support local musicians finding their way.

Hinds is not alone, however. Adrian Johnson, of AJ Records, has also given his time to boost local talent, Dellon told the Buzz in an interview this week.

“I reached out to them, played the instrumental for them, paid the studio time and everything. A lot of artistes have the talent, but don’t get the financial support,” Dellon, who has been doing music since he was a teenager, observed.

With the love and passion that he’s developed for music, Dellon said it’s not about the money for him. “It’s about trying to help those who have the actual talent and need that help to get out there.”

To raise funds for supporting the projects, Dellon has lined up a few sponsors, and also uses revenue from his small business, “Dellon Fragrance and Gift Centre” in Number 51 Village, Corentyne, Berbice. He would also do ads, at a small cost, on his burgeoning social media pages.

For ‘Frozen’, three songs, written by Chris Nelson, Lil Million, and Determine, were released last week. The official release of the entire album, however, is set for Friday night.

As the producer of ‘Frozen’ and owner of “Dellon Entertainment”, Dellon said he’s already seen improvement in the traffic on his social media, especially on his YouTube channel.

His Facebook Page has over 17,000 followers, while the songs also received a good response on TikTok.

“I don’t think; I know people will love Frozen because they will be able to relate to all of the songs on the project. At some time in their lives, they would have experienced what the artistes are singing about,” Dellon shared, adding that he personally experienced some of the same things.

The songs on the album are said to be personal stories and life experiences revolving around love, losing a parent, the ‘ghetto’ lifestyle, and relationships. ‘Short Boss’ will have his debut on the album.

“I enjoyed working together with the artistes. They pitched their ideas with the help of AJ Records. AJ is the sound engineer in my entertainment. He might be the only other person in the country who would do an entire project with 13 artistes for free,” Dellon shared.

Dellon is currently working on a single called “Bad alone”, and an all-female Soca project to feature seasoned as well as up-and-coming female artistes.

He is also happy that a branch of AJ Records will be in Berbice before this year is over as he feels that even though there is a lot of talent in Berbice, the artistes are not able to access the resources to propel their music.

“Guyana’s music industry has great potential. I would like Guyanese music to be played more during the rush hours, so people can actually get to hear their own Guyanese artistes,” Dellon said.
