Fantom Dundeal
Starting his
career as a rapper, Fantom has come a long way since FU 1st
interviewed him in 2007. Fast forward 5 years and bajan artist Fantom is still
going strong, no longer a rapper he has now fully embraced the world of Reggae
and is now a confident Reggae artist.
Fantom, Long time, what have you beenup to since your last interview?
Well, it's been a few years. But I built up the courage to do what I wanted to from the start and that was to do Reggae/Dancehall, and I've been grinding and pushing out constant music and videos.
Why did you decide to switch from HipHop to Reggae?
It was something I'd always wanted to do, plus I had beef with one of the main members in the recording group I was in. So when I left from around them I decided I would make a fresh and do what I wanted and not what people wanted me to do.
Would you ever consider going back to Hip Hop?
Well.. If the money is right I can still rap!!!!!!!!
How would you describe your newsound, what kinda stuff do you tend to sing about?
My new sound depicts me 100% and personifies me as an artist and human being
Who are your musical influences?
Honestly, I still get inspiration from Beres, Aidonia, Konshens, Mavado, Buggy Nhakente, LRG and many more bajan artists
Do you have any mixtapes out?
I have 2 and my 3rd ones dropping in March 2012 (Buss Down)
You’ve obviously performed at a lot of shows since the last interview, what’s the biggest or best or most fun one so far?
The Biggest would have to be between Reggae on The Beach or Hill (2011)
Best show was a show I did was with Konshens, Lil Rick, Darrio & G81/Renaissance Family at UWI (University of West Indies)
Most fun was performing with POWERx4 On the road for Kadooment with my Monstapiece family
What’s next for you?
More songs, more CDs and more music videos (MustBuss & KeepBussin) Look out for "Feeling You" and "Meditation"(remix) music videos droppin simultaneously as well as 2 new tunes "Ganja Music" and "Rock Away"

Crimeson
FU interviewed 22 year old Bajan artist Crimeson:
How did you get the name Crimeson?
I used to rap and I did a song that had a hook with " Crime son " at the end, so the name just stuck from there.
I did a track called 'Don't Ask Me' and because it was being shared via cellphone, word of mouth and internet it eventually started reaching DJs.DJ Indian then organised the official radio edit and got it circulating on the radio, which really made my music career take off.
What genre of music do you do?
Bajan Dancehall/Soca
What inspires your songs?
Bajan Sayings, everyday experiences whether it be mine or someone else's, Bajan culture and listening to the older folk talk etc
What kind of stuff do you sing about?
I try to sing about reality and be as truthful as I can. So an issue that affects people on a whole, will most likely become a topic for one of my songs.
Who do you look up to in the industry?
Lil Rick
Lil Rick
Whats the biggest/best show you've done so far?
I would have to say the Luciano Show which was at Brandons Beach in Barbados. To get on the line up with an international superstar was a real privilege.
Your song 'Don't ask me' got a lot of attention in Barbados but was it based on a true story...?
Of course it is based on a true story, not my story, but the story of thousands or even millions all over the world.Who would your dream collaboration be with?
Lil Rick or Rihanna.
Do you have any mixtapes, albums or EPs out?
I have a mix tape out called Bajan Pride.
Whats next for you?
I have recently become a Banks Beer ambassador, but apart from that I am not sure, I only started singing in September 2011, so this is still surprising for me. My management Renaissance Entertainment is constantly looking for opportunities for me, but I am eager and love singing so where ever the music takes me, I will go.
Don't ask me
Last Twenty
