Growing up in Bungoma, Kenya was not an easy road for Paul Munialo Barasa. As young as seven years old, Paul trained himself as a vocalist and performer in the tradition of many of the great Kenyan dancehall musicians that came before him. As many of his friends took the well- travelled route of drugs and crime, Dabby K continued to follow his musical calling. His break came when he was spotted by DJ Masita at a local talent contest and things took off from there. Taken under DJ Masita's wing who introduced him to DJ LYTMAS Who saw the talent in him and signed him under his label Dapstrem Entertainment, Dabby K burst onto the scene with a feature on "Call Mi Yuh Ruler" and never looked back. Quickly proving himself as one of the Genre's most talented artists, his distinctive voice and impressive instinct for melody flew him through international hits, from “Dancehall Daddy” to “Dance Fi Mi” His back catalogue features everything that dancehall has to offer - from poetic ghetto laments to party smashers and gyallis anthems. As well as a huge local fanbase and a dedicated worldwide following, the Star became the first dancehall artist to have his album realesed on the first year of his musical career , shortly followed by several single hart placement. His well- known catchphrases and charismatic energy have lead him to cult status, finding a loyal fan in African Dancehall artists as well as features with various kenyan artists and South African artists. Continuing the course to pop stardom, this past year saw him feature on Safi G's Anavokata. Dabby K first joined forces with DLM in 2017 for the release of “Ruler (Album),” racking up lots of YouTube plays for an upcoming artist. His debut album (released on Dapstrem) is executive produced by DLM Records, and features additional productions from various production houses. With the release his debut full length, Ruler , Dabby K has made his grandest artistic statement to date and confirmed his place as an important voice in the tradition of Kenyan dancehall music.
