D'Yani Wrote Journey Seven Years Before Anybody Heard It

D'Yani sits down with Irie Jam Radio to talk about his debut album Live Life & Prosper, why his songs work as his diary, and the story of the dubplate that first made the host a believer.

The Spanish Town singer explains that he doesn't say much out loud, he sings it instead and walks through how the album grew out of his chemistry with producer Kareem "Remus" Burrell on Live A Little, why Journey was written about seven years before release, and which songs are the most personal. The host shares how, after her best friend passed, she messaged D'Yani for a dubplate and had it within the hour, which is where "melody medicine" comes from. Plus how he wants to be remembered, his advice to young artists coming up, and a rapid-fire round on red flags, love at first sight, and the song most likely to get him in trouble with the ladies. Live Life & Prosper is out now.
