Don Husky ADD
"Nuh sad story!" This is the motto of Don Husky's life.
His rapid artistic growth shows that these are no empty words to the young artist outta Kingston, Jamaica. He has worked hard to reach where he is now, to make sure that his life, his music and his community is indeed no sad story – and he is ready to put in a lot more work! Born Rashane Brown, he took his first steps in music at school, clashing with other DJs at parties and festivities and thus honing his skills of riding riddims and weaving direct, precise lyrics.
By 2012, Husky had reached a level that attracted the attention of the music industry, with his first official single "Wah My Own" on the Church Money riddim produced by F.H.M., who also introduced Husky to Josef Bogdanovich at Downsound Records, who, at the time, was looking for a new artist. Shortly after, in 2013, he went on to prove that he has no problems with hitting softer notes as well with the song "Meditation", granting a glimpse of the consciousness he developed as a keen observer of the realities surrounding him.
One year later, Don Husky created a nationwide buzz with "On And On", a track every ghetto youth can relate to. More exciting productions for Downsound followed (e.g. "More Gal" and "High Grade Me Smoke", the herbalist's answer to Passenger's "Let Her Go"), but it was "Be Grateful", Husky's take on the Faithful riddim, and "Love To Remember" on the Champagne Bubble riddim (both by TJ Records) that convinced the industry of his enormous talent and potential.
Also, his recent single "Work Til Something Work" by Konsequence Muzik has been getting a warm reception, encouraging people from all walks of life to keep going. Currently, Husky is recording with Jah Ova Evil Records from Kingston and Mashup International from Sweden ("Dime A Dozen"), as well as focusing on his upcoming EP entitled "Product of Jamaica" to be released in early 2018.
Don Husky emerges as one of the most authentic and promising artists of his time and is working to establish himself as a serious force in today's musical landscape, bridging the gap between Dancehall and Roots Reggae. Says the artiste: "It's just one music, and music is a journey. There are obstacles, but we nah go let that bring we down, we just move on. I'm on a mission to spread some good messages to the world. Longevity is the aim. I want to do music that you can listen 10 years from now, tunes like Be Grateful. Mi waan tek mi ting to the world, so right now me put in the work and carry it to a next level."
