The
smooth enchanting voice of Hilton
Dalzell adds an essence, which is
echoed through each note.
Born
September 14,1972 Hilton Dalzell Jr.
also known as Ghetto Flex started
his journey at the tender age of five
guided by his farther Hilton Senior,
an experienced singer songwriter.
By the age of eight, he was awarded
the crown of Junior Calypso Monarch

many countries performing with many
bands including, Second Imij, Qwestion,
Roy Cape and the Kaiso All Stars and

joy on stage when the positive vibration
