Official Dan to release first album

Emmanuel Watkins

Emmanuel Watkins, who performs under the name Official Dan, is getting set to release his first album next February, while his second lyric video drops next Tuesday.

The 19-year-old dancehall singer, who currently makes a living as a goods’ wholesaler from his shop out of his home in Albouystown, said the video is for the song “Till it gone”, which is a tribute to his high school love.

His album, ‘Young Blood’ will consist of 15 songs and will be publicly available in February, 2023. He said ‘Young Blood’ is the result of encouragement from his teachers who told them: ‘You performing all the time in this school, we know you could sing, look you got artists like Baby Skilla singing and all these artists singing in Guyana and you haven’t released anything’. This made him get serious with dancehall music since he too wanted to become a star.
