Tanto Metro and Devonte, a major pioneering force of the dancehall movement, have been creating hits for almost a decade now. In the late '90s, they were able to pave the way for many reggae artists. They tapped into the international mainstream markets during a time when it was unheard of for a Jamaican artist to reach the charts outside of their home country. Tanto and Devonte's instant chemistry and talent led them beyond Jamaica and into the U.S. Top 40 Billboard chart not once, but twice. Today, the veteran hit makers and creators of two of dancehall's biggest radio records, "Everyone Falls In Love" and "Give It To Her," are back with their usual mixture of melodic hooks, humorous rhymes and catchy rhythms.
Together, Tanto Metro and Devonte continue to make an impact on fans and the history of dancehall. "There is chemistry between us and the fans. They participate in our energy," says Devonte. "We are doing our thing with vibes and happiness, not really worrying about the success of it," adds Tanto. Along with their humble approach, the striking contrast of Devonte's silky smooth tenor and Tanto Metro's hard-hitting swaggering rhymes provides the perfect balance to breed their widespread success even further.
