VI.BE

Don Zee born Dwayne Benjamin on the 21st of January 1989 in the parish of Clarendon, he moved to St. Catherine (Spanish Town) at a very early stage in his life. While in St. Catherine he attended the Eltham Park Primary school. He wrote his first song while he was in the 5th grade at Eltham Park Primary but out of fantasy than anything else. He grew up in a family where his parents were of different lifestyles, his mother was a god faring person and goes to church on a regular basis and his father was a Sound System Operator and would goes to dances and parties.

During his childhood years his mother and father got separated, in light of that he would visit his father while school was on holidays. While on holiday with his father they would go to parties together and from those experiences he developed the real love for music and started writing more songs, he continued to keep his talent to himself. It wasn't until the 10th grade he began to showcase his talent which he began going to recording studios to record and also perform in communities.

After leaving high school in 2006 his brother, Damion ‘STAR-D’ Benjamin, who was by then a professional musician (bassist) was living in Kingston, St.Andrew. His brother had also developed an extra talent in making rhythms, but it wasn’t until the death of their mother, Beverly Benjamin, in 2007 they came together and started on their musical journey. They worked together making rhythms and recording from a home studio (STAR-D PRODUCTION) where they lived. Their hard work began to pay off when their music began to circulate in the community they live in, Waterford, Portmore.

They continued their work and reaped more success when his song entitled (Mek Di Money) got its first air play on one of Jamaica`s leading radio station Irie Fm by DJ Talia. He continued being consistent and now he has a number of songs getting air rotation, songs like (Irie), (Reggae Rock), (Money Problem), (Paradise) just to name a few.

Don Zee was inspired by Reggae Legend Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jacob Miller, Barrington Levy, Sizzla Kolonji and a lot more, he set out to create History with god as his guide and leader.
