LEGAL NAME Colton Thomas
Colton Thomas was born and raised in Dominica and began experimenting with the genres of Reggae and Dancehall at an early age. Despite Bouyon and Soca being the most popular genres on the island, ColtonT has now grown to become one of Dominica’s major music icons.
Following his release of several mixtapes Colton released his highly anticipated debut album “Impossible” in 2019 followed by his personal concert , “Bomb In The City” a first of its kind, an ALL dancehall event with Colton as the headliner. The success of the event landed Colton his slot on the prestigious WCMF main stage. After being one of the first local dancehall artists to grace the World Creole Music Festival stage in 2019, he was invited back a second time to perform at the 2022 Creole Festival, where he opened for the African Giant Burna Boy. His other recent achievements include winning the ‘Dancehall Artist of the Year’ award in Dominica in 2021—the same year his album “Talisman” was also ‘Album of the Year’.
He is perhaps best known for his hit single “Ice-cream Man,” which is unsurprising since the video reached number one on the Cross Caribbean Countdown on Tempo Networks within the first week of its release in 2013. Colton is now focused on releasing music which will resonate with every listener on a spiritual level; songs with relatable and positive messages. “My struggles dem are temporary, my trouble days could never faze me” he sings in his hit song faze. He is currently working on releasing his new album, “GAD ON EARTH.” The album aims to guide people through life experiences and bring a sense of hope, positivity and guidance.
