One of the most
widely recognized faces in soca, dancehall, and reggae music, Kevin Lyttle, is
commonly referred to as the “feel good” man. His music simply makes listeners
feel good as he crosses island vibes and soca sounds in the most melodic way.
His hit single ‘Turn Me On,’ can be seen as his claim to fame. After it’s 2004
release, the track quickly gained popularity around the world and topped charts
across the globe, becoming a mainstream radio staple.
In 2001, Lyttle
originally recorded ‘Turn Me On’ in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines with money
he had saved up. In 2003, he signed with Atlantic Records and remixed ‘Turn Me
on’ to be released as a single in the UK. The remixed version featured the
notable dancehall artist Spragga Benz. The single rose to the No 2 spot in the
UK, spending seven weeks on the Top 10 UK singles chart. By 2004, the song
became a worldwide hit, reaching the No 4 spot in the United states, No 3 in
Australia, and hitting the Top 5 in countries all across Europe.
In July of 2004,
Lyttle’s debut self-titled album reached the charts once again. It charted in
the Top 10 in the United States and was certified
Gold by the RIAA. By 2008, Lyttle founded Tarakon Records, his own
record label. He released his second studio album, Fyah, under Tarakon and
Universal Records. Nowadays, world-renowned DJs such as Cheat Codes and Dante
Klein, with their ‘Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)’ remix continue to bring
Lyttle’s sound to the charts. Lyttle has not stopped providing fans with eclectic hits as he focuses on
a variety of new projects.
