The smooth enchanting voice of Hilton
Dalzell adds an essence, which is echoed through each
note. Born September 14,1972 Hilton Dalzell Jr. also
known as “Ghetto Flex” started his journey
at the tender age of five guided by his farther Hilton
Senior, an experienced singer songwriter. By the age
of eight, he was awarded the crown of Junior Calypso
Monarch in his native country of Trinidad where he was
born and raised.
His journey since then has led him to
many countries performing with many bands including,
Second Imij, Qwestion, Roy Cape and the Kaiso All Stars
and Imij & Co. and opening for such acts as Boys
II Men, The Fugees, Faith Evans and Shaggy. Along the
way he has created his own brand of music which he classifies
as a fusion of Soca, dancehall with elements of Hip-Hop
and R&B. This formula has no doubt been impacted
by the various musical influences in Hiltons life. Bob
Marley, David Rudder, Michael Jackson, Shabba Ranks
and Buju Banton are all artists who have helped Hilton
shape his ever-evolving style and sound.

artist is born with. He admits he receives the most
joy on stage when the positive vibration from the audience
is absorbed.
