BUG – The Dancehall Locksmith
Although this Dancehall Artist stands at just 5’8, the heights to which his lyrics reach are insurmountable. Using lyrics that are sharp, witty and through provoking, BUG takes his listeners on a musical journey with one goal: unlocking and setting free what’s wrong in one’s mind, and replacing the wrong with what’s right.
Born in Barbican, Jamaica, BUG grew up around music, as his parents used it as a means to keep the family entertained. His Sister was the singer in the family, and encouraged BUG to embrace music. With that encouragement, BUG decided from early that his ruling theme would be Love, Unity and Gratitude.
DJ’s around the world have become familiar with this Dancehall artist, and know that he is
driven by lyrical content as well as the music’s composition. When asked how his lyrics come together, he said "I observe people, and I'm very patient. I like to analyse the things that are going on around me - from politics to family and friends. I'm always inspired by what I see. Sometimes I write about what needs to be improved, and sometimes I tell a story about what I've seen. You wouldn't believe it, but some of the songs that you're hearing now were made in 1998!"
One song to exemplify BUG’s song writing skills is the chune “Blackmen.” The lyrics to the chune were performed over a heavy roots riddim, and includes a loose adaptation of Bob Marley's "Natural Mystic," almost asking why years later, we haven't improved.
Caring enough about humanity, and the improvement of us all, BUG uses his song “Life Is…,” as a definition of principals we should all live by: sometimes you’re up, sometimes down and what goes around comes around. He also warns about things we shouldn’t idolize such as “pretty girls and platinum.”
BUG, the Dancehall Locksmith uses lyrics that connect with every listener, making him one of the most radio played underground artists. To hear music, and to stay up to date with all things BUG, log on to www.LocksmithRecords.com, or read the latest blogs at http://locksmithrecords.blogspot.com
