From seedy clubs in Las Vegas to the cornfields of New York, parody artist Uzimon has travelled to all ends with his unique form of reggae music.The artist, whose real name is Daniel Frith, will return to the Island this weekend to perform at a release party for his latest record ‘Showdown’.Expected to be a sold-out event, Uzimon will take to the stage with his New York City touring band at Docksiders on Saturday.The biggest draw perhaps is there’s “a 600 percent chance” the artist himself will be there.He grew up in Bermuda and was a voracious collector of reggae vinyl records from the age of 12.Uzimon tried his hand at the genre and wrote a few songs, but nothing ever came of it. Then in the summer of 2008, he was spurred on by a friend to create his own unique style of music.“I was sitting around with some friends over breakfast one Sunday [and] Jon Legere and I were trying to think of some funny ideas to shoot for a video.“I pitched the reggae character idea and Jon was like, ‘Let’s do it today’, so we made a video and the response was good.”Four years and three albums later, his style has evolved a lot.“The music aspect got really serious after the first album,” he explained. “There were a lot of things to improve and we did, [particularly] now working with the incredible musicians we have, some of New York City’s finest reggae and rocksteady players.“We take the music as seriously as we do the comedic/performance aspect.”The latest album is a collection of songs paying homage to music of the late 1970s and 80s, when several reggae and dance hall artists seemed to have a fascination with “that western, shoot-em-up cowboy aesthetic”.Tickets can be purchased at Docksiders in advance for $20; or $25 at the door if there are any left over.A portion of the profits will go to marine environmental group Groundswell’s Bermuda Blue Halo Project. Doors open at 9pm.Alternative rock band Another Plane Crash will perform at 9.30pm. Music will be provided in between sets by DJ OB1 and DJ Colt 45. Tan Z will serve as the night’s MC.‘Showdown’ is available on iTunes for $10.Uzimon spoke with The Royal Gazette in anticipation of the big event.Q: Will you be on Island for the album release party?A: I most likely hope to be there as I am performing, but sometimes I am not sure where I am at any given point, and sometimes I am everywhere and nowhere at once.Sometimes I am in spirit, sometimes in body, sometimes in mind. However there is a 600 percent chance all three will convene and I will appear mysteriously at Docksiders, November 24. So, possibly ... I will be there.Q: Are you looking forward to having locals hear your latest tunes? Is it ever a bit nerve-racking when you’re not sure how they will respond, particularly fellow Bermudians?A: Neva! Bermudians love UZIMON BAAAAD! Except this one guy named Paul sumting.Q: What can fans expect with your latest album ‘Showdown’?A: Lyrical bullets, microphone murder, and references to my pet cat, Terror Fabulous.

What are the songs about?A: They are all mi favourite. But if I had to chose one in particular I would say tracks 1 to 12. ‘Colombian Daughta’ is a personal song to me. It’s about that real part in every man’s life when he falls in love with a prostitute.Q: When did you get your start in music?A: When I was a zygote.Q: How old were you when you first fell in love with reggae, a teenager or young boy?A: A yute [youth]. Real young.

It’s only natural to combine the two ...”However I don’t consider myself a comedian. I love everything, therefore I combine everything. Comedy and reggae, horseback riding, synchronised swimming and clay pigeon shooting.Q: Do you think you’ve found a relatively untapped area of the market?A: Fi real! I have monopolised di market on male 40-something pot heads who work at Gamestop and still live with their parents, everywhere! Big time Dolla!Q: What are your career aspirations? How far do you want to take your music?A: From the cliffs of Dover to the radio of a migrant worker in the cornfields of New York City, to a seedy unisex bathroom of an illegal club in Vegas my music to di world!Q: You are currently living in the US and Canada, I understand.
