REGGAE EUROPE

Da’Ville is Reggae Soul With the world listening to his every note, premiere Reggae balladeer, Da’Ville defines Reggae Soul/Pop. Putting real life experiences in each of his songs, this artist extraordinaire has become the fan favorite for Lovers who want to express themselves through song. Born in Kingston Jamaica, Da’Ville was raised by his Grandmother who emphasized the importance of education and religion. Singing in the church choir became the foundation for building Da’Ville’s art of expression through songs. “I was born singing” jokes Da’Ville, “As a youth, I sang in church and at all the local school functions.” With a rooted passion for song and a developing strength for performance, he continued to sing hoping to fulfill his dreams as a singer. In the mid 1990’s, groups such as Boys 2 Men, Silk, Shai and Jodeci were the rage. Da’Ville, being influenced by these groups, became inspired to form one of his own. Introduced to the newly formed ARP (A Raw Perspective), Da’Ville developed his craft in a group setting, and achieved his goal of being in a group. In 2001, Da’Ville’s direction changed when he was signed to Penthouse Records as a solo artist under the management of Donovan Germaine. There, he recorded the hit singles: “Cruzin,” and “All My Life,” the latter of which with then label mate, Marcia Griffiths. After several years with Penthouse, Da’Ville departed, ready to launch his solo career. Today, Da’Ville is one of the most celebrated Reggae Soul/ Pop artists in the world. As a songwriter, composer and producer, his music has topped charts locally and internationally. His expanding fan base, and commitment to fans, allows Da’Ville’s versatility to shine as evidenced through his work with super producers: Robert Livingston (from Big Yard Music Group), Stephen McGregor (from Big Ship Music), J.
