Dancer launches recording career

Popular dancer Wacky Grandson is ready to launch his recording career with the release of his debut single titled Breezy Bounce.

The song is slated to be released this month.

"I can't wait to see how my fans will react to it. It (the track) is bouncy and full of energy. It makes you want to move when you hear it. The fans are going to love it," said Wacky Grandson.

He said he recorded the song to complement his latest dance move, the Breezy Bounce.

"Dancing is a very competitive art form, you have to keep creating and innovating to stay ahead of the game. When my single and video drop, things are going to be even more exciting," he said.

The easy-going dancer, who lists dancehall icon Bogle and John Hype as some of his influencers, has his eyes set on international fame.

"I want to work with people like Rihanna, BeyoncÈ, Rick Ross, and Meek Mill. I want to be an internationally known recording artiste and dancer," he said.
