Marlon Ricardo Williams p/k/a Bling Dawg was born in Kingston, Jamaica but spent time between Portland, Jamaica and Miami, FL during his childhood. Bling Dawg's break into the music business came when he was in Miami. He met two other Jamaican artists, Dugsy Ranks and Biko Bailey who along with Bounty Killer recruited him to be apart of Shocking Vibes Productions. Through that new association, Bling was able to work with and write for some of Dancehall's best acts. He enjoyed Jamaican chart success with songs such as, 'Say My Name', 'Perfect Lady', 'Like We Do', 'Johnny', 'Dignitary', 'Pass Dem Remarks' and 'Give Thanks', as well as the collaborative hits like 'Phone Call' (with Vybz Kartel), 'Father And Son' (with Captain Barkey) and 'Let It Be Me' (with Sanchez). Bling Dawg has performed at a number of shows around the world including Sumfest, Sting, Fully Loaded and put together many local community shows to help the people of Jamaica. Bling set the way for many of your favorite Dancehall acts and he is, arguably, one of the greatest lyricists in the Dancehall community. With his current rebrand, he has documented his health transformation (losing over 200+ lbs) and the new music will tell a story of his music elevation. We are now looking to roll-out an international campaign for the project and have customized a plan for worldwide marketing, starting with the release of "YO!" produced by Grammy-Winning Artist Damian "Jr Gong" Marley . We are absolutely honored to be putting out Dancehall legend Bling Dawg's first & official full-length album; which has been long overdue.
