Royquinn ‘Remedy’ Fredericks is set to release his new single “Mann Up” next week.
The singer/songwriter is Essequibian; he grew up in Queenstown, on the coast.
The Essequibian was born and grew up in Queenstown. “I born hearing music,” he said. “My father had a [music] set and was a Selector.” His father writes music as well and would sometimes sit with his guitar playing as he sang.
Remedy attended the Anna Regina Multilateral Secondary School, where he was always part of something; he represented his school at Mashramani nationals, even in Physical Display. He recalled that while a first former, many days he would be singing and rapping among friends after school at the car park. His friends and family he said, always encouraged him and it was during his early school years at secondary school that he wrote his first song, “Do You Remember.” He recalled that it was written because of his first crush in his primary school years who had left the country during that time.
Having done Agricultural Science at secondary school, Royquinn moved on to study Forestry at the University of Guyana (UG). He has completed his Diploma and is now a third-year student on his way to getting his degree. It was at UG that he found friends who also share the same liking and talent for music. They’d meet often to sing and rap and it was through this that “It Ain’t Worth Nothing Without You” was recorded.
“Essequibo has a lot of hidden talents,” Remedy said. For “It Ain’t Worth Nothing Without You” he collaborated with
