"D.B.L. is from St. Lucia. He’s a hardworking artist who learned the business through me. He’s a great dancer and an incredible entertainer. I think the world is going to love him."
— Jackie Jackson, The Jacksons (Billboard Magazine)
In 2018, D.B.L. signed his first deal as an artist with Jackson’s Critically Amused record label releasing his first single Another Round followed by his first EP Island Vibez, executive produced by Jackson. His follow up EP Come Back Home , executive produced by Roxxstar Entertainment, sparked a return to his native St. Lucia in 2019 where he met with the Prime Minister, visited schools, donated to communities and spoke to troubled youth. In December 2020 celebrity disc jockey D.J. Thump launched his tropical flavored “Your Riddim” single, with performances in the U.S., London and the Caribbean, and television appearances including 8Now and Fox 5 in Las Vegas.
