D-major's 'Girl of my Dreams' video generates buzz

There is a buzz about D-Major's latest video Girl of my Dreams. The video, which premiered on Hype TV just about three weeks ago and which stars the lovely Tanisha Clarke, has thrust the singer back into the spotlight as he continues his climb towards stardom.

Helped by his appearance as a judge on Digicel Stars this past season, D-Major is now more than a great voice on a record; there is now a handsome face to go along with it. "Digicel Stars has increased my visibility 10-fold," he says. "And it has been helping to push my popularity." With that in mind, it's no surprise then that his latest video has been creating such a buzz for the braided singer, who in addition to a voice that makes the girls swoon, also possesses a lean, athletic body that his female fans yearn to get their hands on.

Girl of my Dreams has been getting good play here in Jamaica, but it is also pointing the way to new markets for the former member of the group QT. "It has performed way beyond my expectations in Kenya," he said. "The song is number one on the reggae charts on Idha-ya Taifa 92FM in Kenya, one of the oldest radio stations with the farthest reach in that country."

Ever since he visited Kenya a couple years ago with his friend Chris Martin, D-Major has begun to build a strong fan base in that country that has only continued to grow. DJ Juan, a top club disc jockey there, reveals that whenever he plays Girl of my Dreams, fans cause him to play it five or six times on each occasion. In other words, D-Major has become a star in his own right in that reggae-loving African nation. "It seems I am getting a lot of support follow-up and even better response to my song That's What Love's About," he said.

This success in a foreign market has D-Major focusing his energies on getting even more exposure overseas for 2013. On the verge of signing on with new management, he wants his new handlers to start being more aggressive in countries like Zimbabwe, Japan and Europe. It has been a tried and proven strategy for other Jamaican entertainers, including those who are closest to him like CeCile and Martin, who have well-established audiences in those markets. "Zimbabwe and Ghana, we have been getting tremendous feedback from these countries," he said.

Back home, he plans to use his performances and the social networks to push the song. The video has been uploaded on Facebook and is being view often. His next local appearance at On the Roof in Cross Road will also provide an opportunity to expose the song even more locally.
