Erasto serves up a tantalising treat

Erasto - Contributed

Singjay Erasto serves up a tantalising treat on the hot new Amore rhythm. The artiste's contribution comes in the form of the track Playa.

The song was produced by Adrian Hanson for Donsome Records.

In a release, Erasto explained the story behind the song.

"The song is based on a past experience where I met a young lady when I was much younger, and by socialising with her over a period of time, I found out that she was a player. When I heard the rhythm, she was the person who came to mind, so that's how the song came about," Erasto commented.

Erasto, whose real name is Donald Fyffe, is originally from St Mary. His stage name actually means 'Man of Peace'. He has been influenced by the works of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Sizzla, Dennis Brown and Richie Spice.

With versatility and vocal charisma, the artiste says he is bringing the goods that music lovers will want to listen to.

"I am bringing spice to the musical industry through a cultural platform, social commentary and spiritual vibes. I am also bringing reggae to the place where it belongs, in an intelligent form where each and everyone can give a listening ear," he reinforced.

own label

Erasto developed his music skills by attending music classes conducted by Donovan Cole. It was through those sessions that he made the link with Hanson.

"I have done recordings for Adrian's label and he has even encouraged me to start my own label," Erasto stated. His label is called D-Rock Productions.

He made his recording debut on the 'Life Journey' rhythm with the song Future of Tomorrow.

"One of my greatest experiences was on my second project at Tuff Gong Recording Studio. It was a pleasure to work with such veterans including Dean Fraser and Sly Dunbar," he recalled.

The artiste describes working with the Donsome Records team as a great experience.

"Honestly speaking, it has been a wonderful feeling and a spiritual involvement working with the entire team. It's built around music. But it's more than music the relationship between me and Donsome is like brothers, as we share ideas, we reason on certain level," he reiterated.
