‘Roger B’: Addicted to music

Singer/songwriter Roger ‘Roger B’ Bowen is making a name for himself throughout Guyana singing his own music as well as covers. For the year so far, he has performed an average of 30 shows countrywide and has been truly turning up the crowd.

Roger performs oldies, dancehall, jazz, R&B and Hip Hop, but is most known for his Soca numbers. His latest single “Tequila” was released only yesterday, on the WR Reaz’s show.

According to Roger, while at Alleyne’s High School he took to dancehall music with some of his peers. Interschool sports, he said, was a most anticipated day when other guys like himself formed themselves into groups representing their respective schools and had a ‘riff off’ (song battle). It was these battles that led to Roger wanting to take up singing.
