He burst on the scene in the 90s with a string of hits include Shelly-Ann and Pencilhis fresh style and humour made him an immediate hit in the dancehall. Wallace Wilson aka Red Rat, now performing under the moniker Double R is still going strong.

Yardflex had a one on one with the DJ and it was hard not to notice that he hasnt lost his easy charm and great sense of humour.

Double R who says he has been performing since the age of four said his inspiration came from his father who was a prominent person in the industry. His dad who played the guitar for Byron Lee and the Dragonaires and produced his first album Soft Lee. His dad was also a writer, producer and musical director for Cynthia Schloss and Boris Gardner.

It was not surprising when the music bug bit Red Rat, now with over 15 years in the biz the DJ has performed all over the globe. Responding to Yardflex question on some of the places he performed he jokes, it would be easier to tell you where Ive not performed, he said with a teasing smile.

The DJ has performed to rave reviews every stop he makes and for him there can be no greater award than to see the looks on the faces of his fans when he steps on stage.

When it comes to flexibility and not being limited to any one style Double R will be the first to tell you that he doesnt set a limit on himself. As a producer and a songwriter you have to keep up to date with whats going on in the music world and move with the time, he stressed.

With the downtown in the economy Double R is not allowing that to faze him in his usual down to earth style he pointed out that Recession affects people that dont plan. He continued, Its all about moving with the times again. There are still artistes selling over six and eight million unit, he pointed out adding that artistes must realize that regardless of what the situation, good music will always sell,
