KEKE BONS EXPLORING DANCEHALL MUSIC

Let's answer the obvious questions first. Yes that's a real live snake and no she's not modeling it, Keke Bons actual has the reptile as a pet but that talk for another occasion.

With music in mind Keke Bons would probably say she's extremely passionate about the expressive art form despite currently pursuing a Masters Degree at the Nova South Eastern University located in Miami Florida. Born in Jamaica Keke hails from the cool tourist resort town of Ocho Rios and at 4-ft 11-inches is often times misjudged as a sweet soulful singer but truth be told she's quite the opposite. As a youngster Bons spent her childhood days chroming Irie FM Studios with radio personalities Pat Clarke and Darien Henry. Coincidentally studios always surrounded Bons who recall the Kariang Recording Studio which was next door her home. Kariang introduced Keke to real Reggae greats like Garnett Silk whom she would often interact with all the while learning about the culture and growth of Dancehall.

Its not often a music junkie like Bons take the time to out be actively involved in Global HIV / AIDS issues and trends or even is given a commendable post as Jamaica's Youth Ambassador for Positive Living but once again the now aggressive female DJ is full of surprises. Taking her Bachelors Degree at the University of the West Indies Keke did a professional course in music with a concentration in Dancehall/Reggae studies to compliment the raw experience she acquired growing up.


Bons considers Music her life and based on her current myspace hits which has exceed 100,000 she's somewhat getting major visibility with just under 10,000 plays of the tracks Wireless Man, Trying, Defend D Rent and the Dancehall Mixed Love Latino, one of her more potent singles out.

Co-Signed by Solid Agency Booking Agent Richard Roache the veteran PR believes she has the goods to go places.
"Her style is new, its edgy, her writing skills remind me of Tanya Stephens and she has a great voice which compliments her drive to become a great artist"

Look out for the DJ who's currently based in New York.
