Clarendon will officially have its first state-of-the-art recording studio and rehearsal space come December 19 after a launch being spearheaded by Dannareo Fearon, CEO, DF Entertainment Limited.

It is will be located at Lot 41 Mineral Heights, May Pen.

“The inspiration behind this was, firstly, my love and passion for music from a tender age. What I’ve noticed over years is that Clarendon does not have anything like this. In fact, Clarendon is looked at as one of those parishes where a lot of talent comes from, but they always migrate to other areas where they have direct access to certain resources. Having been raised there, and having a lot of other talented friends and seeing the potential, I wanted to give Clarendon the same resources that are available in Kingston, Montego Bay, and all of those other places,” Fearon said, adding that a comprehensive music store will also be on the property.

Fearon has been in the industry for multiple years. In 2019, he founded DF Productions, before expanding to provide more services in Jamaica and abroad, including stage lighting, live bands, engineering, consultations, music lessons, and more.

Besides providing services for brands such as Red Stripe, HEART Trust, and the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC), DF Entertainment Ltd has also been a sponsor for the Sterling Gospel Awards for several years.

Fearon, who is trained music teacher, will also be launching a music school on the property in Mineral Heights to help interested students to nurture their musical craft.

Beneficiaries of the Go For Boys Foundation, which was founded by Fearon, will also benefit from this initiative as it will provide formerly incarcerated and other at-risks males with an outlet to reform themselves.

“I’m looking to launch the programme early next year, around March. People have been texting and calling about it to see when they can get lessons. We already have the music programme in place in terms of the syllabus, we have the teachers on standby. We’re just trying to be progressive with what we’re doing and ensuring that we give each aspect of this the attention that it needs,” Fearon said.

He added: “Our young men are very important and we realise that it’s a huge problem with them, you know, not being focused or getting into trouble. Go For Boys is really focused on preparing our young men for tomorrow; helping them to get back on track, and just to keep those who are already on track on the same path. DF Entertainment [will have] the school, the studio, and rehearsal space to nurture their interests in music.”
