Bio
Conor Dalton, aka Vakama, formerly "Bobkiss the III", is an unknown household name. fresh off the back of his worldwide back alley tour, he has played his impressive 3 tune record collection in some of the world’s most notorious and prestigious alleyways, lanes, bus shelters and back alleys including New York’s 54th street loading alley, The infamous "shortcut" lane in Rue D’êtres, Paris, and various shop doorways all over Africa. .. It all started when he was just 34. After years of dole collecting, internet browsing and shoplifting, Vakama was exposed to the world of musical adventure through becoming hypnotised by a (Classic) song, which he later found out to be performed by the infamous Rihanna in his local JJB store. The atmospheric and uplifting music convinced this protégé that MUSIC was where his future would inevitably lie. .. After saving up some cash, and learning about the industry, the big man purchased his first ever, now notorious record. it was a 'dance dance' remix of Ne-Yo's club banger "booty pop, don’t stop". .. He hasn’t looked back since. Pretty soon, gig requests came flying in. He would play to up to 8 people at a time in local bus shelters and various parks with his iphone, having "ripped" ALL THREE mixes of the Ne-Yo tune, including the original mix which many still talk about till this day. These infamous Bobkiss blowouts are now legendary; some satisfied ravers even have videos of the events on their phone. .. Never willing to settle, Vakama aka Shuttle trousers bought ANOTHER TUNE and would often flip between one record and another using a second, slightly cheaper phone. Sometimes he would even play both records simultaneously. It was at this stage that things started going wrong. After a night out with the lads the original iphone was stolen by a jealous advisory, and all the original material was lost. In a fit of rage, Bobkiss, aka dirt mouth killed a man outside a nightclub in Bristol. After serving 14 years in jail, he reformed, reflected on his life, and decided to dedicate himself to music, God, and his new lover; "POP". .. It was at this stage Vakama produced his first ever track, entitled "Da good old dayz", this was recorded on his old phone, one of his last remaining possessions. He sent it to his whole address book and 8 PEOPLE replied, 7 of which had positive feedback. This gave him the boost he needed to conquer the world and preach his musical message. .. After a Few years of body building, to improve his image, Vakama was ready to let loose and show the world why prison exemption should be mandatory for the creative. Armed with his phone charger, a phone and an almighty catalogue of music, he set off on a world tour funded by the inmate rehabilitation scheme. He would walk through towns and confront youths with his music. At first they were sceptical, but they soon would warm to the underground sounds of the beat master. .. Vakama is currently busy in the studio working on new material, including his long awaited "best of" Debut album entitled "Ballbeegs in my hometown aint got skills but I have inherited many skills including the ability to reach people through my talents and i intend to stay in your hearts and minds for ages". Keep an eye out in 2012 for the long awaited unofficial Biography, written by Vakama himself, aptly named "a life in the real world”. .. ....Send me your track.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ........ ........ ........
