Mr Delly

Mr Delly is a singer and drummer with WCK. As a youth, he is around the musicians of the RSB band, who let the youngest touch their instruments. He then joins, as drummer, the band Derek "Rah" Peters puts together after leaving the front line of WCK, with a former member of First Serenade. Rah sang and played drums; he wanted to be out front with the audience, and Mr Delly takes the sticks. The first album is "Raw". It's from Rah that he learns the rhythm-and-chant style.

WCK invites him to an event: he takes the mic, sings the band's songs, also plays some drums, and the hits start coming. When he arrives, Skinny Banton is already there, with his lyrical style. Mr Delly is at the heart of "767": by his own account, the chant is born on the spot at an event in Scotts Head, when Daddy Peter, vocalist of Effects Band, hands him the "767" motif to repeat. His own song "I Love Bouyon", whose lyrics he writes with Brenton, gave the Love Bouyon platform its name; the exact date still needs to be confirmed against the credits.

He presents the WCK versus Triple Kay clashes as a strategy: each side has 5,000 t-shirts to sell on carnival Monday and Tuesday, and he talks business, not enmity. To this day, he says, the two camps are still friends.
