1 Meet Sherwinn "Dupes" Brice, singer, songwriter, producer from the Helen of the West, St.Lucia in the Caribbean. For most of his music career, Dupes has been behind the music of various artists. At the start of 2013, Dupes decided to shift focus to his solo music career & so we see the release of three singles with music videos to accompany: Keep Pressing On (April 2013), Your Body (August 2013), Dip Pon De Floor (November 2013) With his third release for "Dip Pon De Floor" we experience Dupes' versatility firsthand. Afro beats, soaring synths & a pulsating four on the floor groove are just a few of the elements featured. Teamwork is at the core of this azonto inspired track produced by Stephen "Horseface" Mathurin, Francis "Leebo" De Lima & Dupes himself & features vocal assistance of songstress Trish Baptiste. Dip Pon De Floor is the follow up single to Your Body, a fusion of Soca, Dancehall & RNB. Produced by Chris Neil & Dupes himself; "Your Body" is a mid-tempo body shaking groove that delivers straight island vibes. Guest artist Hebrue delivers authentic Jamaican patois over

2 Afro-cuban drums. November 2013 saw the debut of the "Your Body" music video on Tempo's Cross Caribbean Countdown, which is aired throughout the Caribbean & certain parts of the USA. In its first week on the countdown the video hit the #1 Spot and held it for three weeks post debut during which time it was the only music video from Saint Lucia eligible for selection on the countdown. His first single "Keep Pressing On", gives a glimpse into the personal life of an aspiring artist & encourages fellow dreamers to never give up. "This is the message that I take with me every step of the way. When I hit a road block or someone tells me that I can't, I think about everything I've been through & I find the courage to keep on keeping on." says Dupes. The music video for Keep Pressing On highlights the natural beauty of St. Lucia and features the world renowned Pitons. March 2014 would see the release of his fourth single - Guilty. Guilty, introduces us to the sentimental side of the Sherwinn "Dupes" Brice, what many consider Dupes' most "personal" release to date. Acoustic guitars fused with piano and a small orchestral set wrapped ever so gently around Dupes' vocals deliver this heartwarming ode to love designed to have you floating on cloud nine. The underlying theme of his visuals remains the beauty of

3 St. Lucia & its people. Dupes encourages his fans, affectionately dubbed #teamdupes, not only to keep sharing his music but most importantly to keep pursuing their dreams & aspirations. The world is waiting for Dupes & he is ready for the journey ahead. All singles are available for download in a number of DJ Pools online & available for purchase at all major digital retailers. Music enthusiasts worldwide have given their encouragement & have pledged their support as the singles continue to be featured both regionally & internationally on a number of online music blogs, podcasts, audio mixtapes & television stations. #teamdupes continue to share his content via Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & even Google Plus.
