Dolli Difference |
Dolli Difference has been a Dancehall artiste since 2005 and manage to carve her own niche in the very competitive industry. Having four tracks (Lingerie, Yours, Back Bench and Vacuum) on the UK Dancehall Promo Street Chart hosted by DJ Mastermix, I asked her, "how did you survive?" she responded, "dem sey Dancehall is a mans' world so that mean female artistes have to work twice as hard. Me love me music and while me respect me peers and those before me who set it, Dolli dare to be different." Of course I wanted to know so I ask, "how so?" and she said, "me nah try fi be anyone else but Dolli Difference, me nuh sound like no other artiste and my music is all me I sing what the riddim tells me and in relation to my own personal experience, so it's always, all about meee, Dolli Difference."
Diss ya Dolli different fi true doe I thought, I was listening her music (of which I'm a fan) so I told her how much I really like them she said blushing, "Sophia me know me haffi bring it and get di respect a de people dem." So I turned up 'Gangsta Girl' which was the next track we about to listen.

Dolli tend to be shy but act bold when it comes to her work. She is focused and
know what she wants and how to deliver it. I smiled hard when I heard "Clean Cut" and looked at her nodding my approval and she was like, "Sophi, woman pree men to enuh (smiling) yeah man we ladies love to see a real man so me caan sey 'gangsta girl' and nuh big up di man dem." I nodded in agreement while taking in the lyrics, dis one yah a gwaan I thought, yeah man, big up di man dem too yow!

To understand Dancehall music one must learn to accept the characters these artistes introduce us to. As unfavourable a character some may be, never fail to recognize Art! Dolli is live art, she is real, what she brings is embedded in her. Her music is alluring, yet one get the feeling of authenticity and originality, complemented by raw talent which helps you to accept the character easily.
