Lavaido says clean lyrics make him more marketable

Young dancehall artiste Lavaido has made sure that he is able to perform for adults and children alike by recording tracks that appeal to all ages.

"I make songs that speak to love, relationships, money, and many other topics, but I record in a way that makes it easy to perform in front of crowds [made up people] from age five to 50. Dancehall music doesn't need to be all raunchy topics to be popular. Sometimes it is felt that our music has to be raw or it won't be accepted, but I'm here to prove that notion wrong," Lavaido shared.

The artiste, who performed at Kabana Beach Bacchanal in Ocho Rios, St Ann, and Jamaica Family Fest in Kingston recently, also believes that the problem with lyrical content is affecting promoters' interest in booking acts for events that appeal to all ages.

"I try to be way more creative lyrically so I don't get nervous when I see young kids in front of me at a show. Promoters like this because it makes me way more marketable. I can perform at even gospel events without having to edit my songs," Lavaido added.

Lavaido is currently promoting his singles, By My Side and Love You Right, and is also gearing up to release his new motivational track, Money Affi Mek, later this month.
