Remembering Starr Dane: ‘Wha Gwaan’ to Deliver His Last Message

In Memoriam: Starr Dane – A Voice Silenced Too Soon

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we at DZL Records announce the untimely passing of our dear friend and talented artist, Starr Dane. Today, we have lost a bright light in the music industry and a cherished member of our community.

Remembering Starr Dane

Starr Dane, born Winston Smith, was more than just a gifted musician. He was a passionate advocate for uplifting the youth with positive messages, a dedicated father who spoke with great pride and love about his daughter, and a valued member of his community. When he wasn’t creating music, Starr dedicated his time to helping others and worked as a CCTV installer and technician.

His sudden departure leaves an irreplaceable void in our hearts and in the reggae and dancehall scene. Starr’s unique voice, both in his music and his advocacy for social change, will be deeply missed.

A Final Message: “Wha Gwaan”

In honor of Starr Dane’s memory and to ensure his voice continues to be heard, DZL Records will be releasing his final single, “Wha Gwaan,” produced by Dale “Dizzle” Virgo. This posthumous release, set to drop on August 16th, 2024, serves as a powerful testament to Starr’s artistry and his commitment to addressing pressing social issues in Jamaica.

“Wha Gwaan,” which means “What’s going on?” in Jamaican Patois, encapsulates Starr’s passion for social commentary. The song tackles themes of corruption, violence, and economic hardship – issues that Starr cared deeply about.
