Ropesh Kamal Ramlochan a.k.a Mr Doll hails from Princes Town, South Trinidad. During his early teenage years, Mr Doll was extremely fascinated with Soca, Reggae and Techno music. Pop, Hip Hop, R & B and Electro Music were also some of the genres of music that appealed to him. Mr Doll was always interested in fusion type music. He began composing his own songs, lyrics and melody from his teenage years, highly influenced by these genres of music. At this time, songs were only in his head and he sang them whenever he could. It was from this very interest in these types of music that has led him to the style of singing and song writing he practices today. 

In the year 2000, Mr Doll became involved in a local fusion band called Kross Kulture. This provided him with the experience and confidence that he needed in order to make a break through to the local music industry. He was teamed up alongside other great names in Trinidad including Shammi Salickram and Nigel Salickram. 

Mr Doll recorded his first single, “Hot Dis Year” in the year 2004 which was a fusion of Soca and Dancehall. His second track came in 2006 titled, “Bashment Party” which was a Groovy Soca alongside Nigel Salickram. The track was released in local radio stations in Trinidad and had good reviews. Continuing his work with Nigel Salickram, the duo released two additional tracks, entitiled “Ged On”, a Reggaeton track followed by “Party Time”, a Rock Song. Mr Doll continued to work on single tracks as well and released a track in 2007 entitled “Ramp Here” which was a Reggaeton track and was also released in local radio stations. 

Mr Doll’s talents have taken him to great heights. He is currently teamed up with Multi-Platinum Producer, Luc Rigaux of Genius Productions, Belgium. They have worked on several productions together including:

Mr Doll is extremely talented in Rap and Dancehall vocals and has always tried to fusion his style with Trinidad’s Soca and Chutney music. In 2014, he released a Chutney Soca track titled “De Mixture” alongside Nigel Salickram. The track was released in local radio stations and he performed the song at various Carnival events during the 2014 season. “De Mixture” and Mr Doll’s unique style captured the attention of producers throughout Europe including Italy, Germany, France, Sweden and Denmark as well as the USA and several EDM remixes were done by these Producers.
