ARTIST BIO Dynasty was born on in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, to parents of Dominican and Puerto Rican descent, and then ventured over to the US at the early age of 8. He was raised in the musical melting pot of Brooklyn, New York, in the tough neighborhood of East New York. The culturally rich Jamaican, Trini, and Guyanese influenced atmosphrere indulged him into experiencing the essence of pure caribbean culture - good food and tantalizing rhythms. It was here during his youth, where he witnessed the birth of Dancehall in the U.S. He would hear hit songs blasting from local record shops by veterans like Shabba Ranks, Ninjaman, Cutty Ranks and Papa San. “I fell in love with reggae the first time I heard it. I remember when I was 10, I locked myself up in the room with a reggae cassette and listened to it over and over for the entire day, I was infatuated with it,” Dynasty reminisced. By the time he was 11 years old, he was already sneaking into local dancehall clubs absorbing the culture and the scene. He would then go on and see the arrival of a new generation of deejays. But it wasn't until he heard Super Cat's superb vocal style that would inspire him to learn and sing in patois and shape him into the artist he is today.
