Raised in a close knit family of East Trinidadian story tellers, 24-year-old old soul Denzil Coutain grew up painting pictures with his words as second nature.

Coutain's unique perspective in everyday life comes through his sharp lyricism on his new single Parlour Dub Freestyle, his smooth r’n’b tinged cadence perfectly depicts a heady romance born in a Sangre Grande parlour.

When asked about the inspiration for the Parlour Dub Freestyle, he says “Harvey and G man dem decided for us to go ah lime but my mind still on my woman - is she ah want. And is jus bout me in my own zone from reminiscing seeing her for d first time by ah parlour yuh dun kno right”
Firmly rooted in the Caribbean, Coutain’s world-wise delivery sits perfectly on top of UK producer Dwala’s delicately jazz-fueled piano & thunderingly deep dancehall inspired bass line.

A staple in the annual carnival sound, Dwala has quietly built himself a reputation as the go to guy for bespoke musical soundscapes, creating live and studio moments with Kes The Band as well as tracks with Popcorn, Sizzla, and Keznamdi.

Already scoring a radio classic with Parlour Dub Freestyle, Coutain is locked in recording his debut solo album Raggamuffin with Dwala on production duties. Asked what we can expect, Coutain answers in his distinct Trinidadian twang “you go hear the upfront truth - themes of love, temptation, street life, toxicity, and resolution. Life lessons and tales - the soundtrack of a young Raggamuffin“.
