You know the laugh, the energy and the songs. In this conversation, we get to know the man behind them.
Viking Ding Dong joins us for one of our most wide-ranging conversations yet, tracing his journey from Point Fortin and unpaid overnight radio shifts to touring with Bunji Garlin and Fay-Ann Lyons—and taking the chance to build his own singing career.
He shares the preparation behind his performances, the stories behind “Outside,” “Horn” and “Drink and Party,” and why being seen as “a DJ who sings” gives him even more reason to prove himself.
We also get into selling roast fish during the pandemic, rebuilding his fitness, fatherhood and the emotional impact of his parents’ separation. Ding Dong speaks openly about how those early experiences shaped his relationships—and why his smile means much more than people realise.
Plenty laughter, honest reflection and a different side of Viking Ding Dong.
