Neeshan “D’ Hitman” Prabhoo |
Since the Toronto Carnival 2011 weekend, Neeshan Prabhoo is set to make his next performance in Toronto on Saturday September 24 at the Soca Savanna in Mississauga.
“D’ Hitman” began singing film songs at around 16 years old as an hobby, until he tried his talent in chutney, producing his first and very successful hit “Don’t Hold Me Back.” This mega hit came out in 1997 which lead to the artiste touring the Caribbean and the rest of the world where chutney soca is enjoyed.
In October 2003 he did an album entitled “Another Hit by the Hitman.” On this album one can find the biggest Chutney Soca tune of 2005 Carnival, More Rum for Me (better know as Mr. Shankar). The song can also be found on a Cd entiltled Trini Bashment.
Starting as early as July since the album was released Neeshan started touring once again his first overseas trip being to Guyana. To date this song is currently being played on all the major radio stations both Indo and Afro along with the video which is has been played on Synergy TV both under the Soca listing and Chutney.
More Rum for Me has not only dominated all the house parties, clubs and shows here Trinidad but is a major hit in the entire Caribbean and the world.
Prabhoo has performed so far in the USA, Canada, Guyana, Suriname, St Lucia, Barbados and in more places.
Pass by any bar on any given day and you are bound to hear More Rum for Me being blasted.
Another achievement is the Best Soca Chutney Song of the year award at the international soca awards held on October 1 2005 at Queens Hall.
For Carnival 2006 Prabhoo has once again done it with his new very popular tune Firewater (Rum Meh brother Say).
2006 has seen the Hitman continuing his packed schedule with tours to almost every country that enjoys the chutney genre of music including Los Angeles in the USA.
in 2008, another hit song “Bring D Rum” was released and took over the airwaves.
Recenly, along with Fito Blanko, Prabhoo has experimented with a new genre called chutneyton which combines chutney music with reggaeton. Their most famous hit together has been a song called “Pretty Gyal”.
His most recent Chutney song is “Rum is not Meh Lovah.”
