Dubbi finds hit with ‘Send Me There’

Dancehall recording artiste Dubbi is pleased that his song, Send Me There, has gone viral in Birmingham in the UK, thanks to a social media video.

"Recently, a lot of discjocks and selectors started playing the song on a regular basis, and of course, with the powers of social media, it took off on TikTok. The song is also very catchy and is sentimental for a lot of people." the artiste, whose real name is Marvin Lee Scott, said.

Send Me There was recorded in Jamaica in 2010. Dubbi has lived in Birmingham for the better part of 20 years, where has carved out an underground following.

"I am like an ambassador in Birmingham because of my personality," he said. Dubbi grew up between Kingston 11 and Kingston 13 in Jamaica. He attended Norman Manley High School. As a youngster, he was called 'Dooby' by his friends, in reference to the popular Scooby Doo cartoon. Encouraged by a friend to do music, he auditioned once for legendary singer Ken Boothe, who gave him the thumbs up.

"I wrote a lot of poems, so I began to experiment with music," he said. He migrated to the UK 20 years ago and recorded his first single, titled Let Me Loose, in 2006, and continued to hone his craft. An EP, also titled Send Me There, was released on March 4. It features singles like Classroom, Rolling and Wah Gwarn.

Dubbi will be appearing on legs of Jah Vinci's UK tour on July 1 and July 2 before doing Fever Fest in the town of Luton on July 23. He will round out the summer with a show called Urban Reloaded on August 13.
