Kemar Christopher Dwaine Ottey, known professionally as Ding Dong, was born on September 29, 1980, in Kingston, Jamaica. Raised in Nannyville, he began his journey by selling empty alcohol bottles found at local events to support his family after his father’s death when he was three. This early entrepreneurial spirit contributed to his future career. Ding Dong harbored passions for both dancing and football, ultimately choosing to focus on dance.
In the early 2000s, Ding Dong joined the Flatbush Dance crew, committing fully to the art form by 2002. His talent was recognized by selector Tony Matterhorn, leading to his rise as a popular figure in the dancing world. He is credited with creating numerous dance moves, including “Swing Song,” “Badman Fawad,” and “Dip Again.” In 2003, Ding Dong co-founded the dance group Ravers Clavers in Nannyville. This crew has been instrumental in creating popular dances such as ‘Sivva,’ ‘Shampoo,’ and ‘Lebeh Lebeh.’ Ding Dong has expressed a desire to make dancing accessible to a wider audience, noting the participation of various public figures.
Ding Dong ventured into music as a recording artist, releasing his debut single “Bad Man Forward Bad Man Pull Up” in late 2005, which became a hit. He has since collaborated with other artists, including Chevaughn on the 2009 release “Holiday.” His discography includes tracks such as “Hustler,” “Shampoo,” “Wul Up,” “Syvah,” and “Fling.” Ding Dong has performed internationally across the US, Europe, and the Caribbean, and made history as the first dancer-turned-dancehall artist to be billed at Rebel Salute in its 24-year history in 2018. He has recorded with labels such as BigShip and Emudio, and has appeared on BBC 1Xtra, showcasing dance moves with Ravers Clavers.
