YOUNG QQ SETS RECORD
At 10-years old, singing sensation QQ set a record as the youngest person in Jamaica to have a hit song, 'Poverty'. Apart from being an anthem in the dancehalls, 'Poverty' climbed the charts and dominated the airwaves in both Jamaica and England with its food-for-thought lyrics. The late Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Brown, held this previous title as the youngest Jamaican with a hit song, with his big hit 'No Man Is An Island' at the age of 11. QQ created quite an impact on the reggae/dancehall since he hit Jamaica almost five years ago with the single 'Never Know The Use Of Her'. Since then he dropped some wicked tunes, including 'Mama' and 'Better Must Come' close behind his first hit.

Now at age fifteen Kareem 'QQ' Dawkins has many more hits and achievements to add to his ever growing portfolio. In 2006 his song 'Stukie' was in heavy rotation on airwaves, and after the release of the music video that demonstrated the exact movements to the dance everyone was soon 'stuckying'. He easily became a stage show favourite to entertain the younger generation and even those of an elder generation could not resist 'stuckying' or 'Room Raming' which followed shortly.

In 2006 it became evident that QQ's talented was appreciated on a broader scale when he started getting significant shows outside of Jamaica and when he was placed on some of the biggest shows locally. In 2006 he performed on Reggae Sumfest on International Night that featured International greats such as Missy Elliot, Rihanna and Fifty cent. He was also on the Champions in Action that featured some of the most respected artistes in the business such as Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, and Sanchez. Other local shows include Beenie Man Summer Sizzle and Campfire. Regionally he performed in the Cayman Islands and Bahamas.

The year 2006 proved to be just the beginning of his stageshow career, for the year 2007 QQ graced many a stage. Locally he was on Spring Break alongside T-Pain and Beenie Man, Mountain Dew Stunt Festival. He revisited the Cayman Islands, and added Trinidad, Anguilla and Conneticut in the US to the areas that he has visited to perform.

It seems that 2008 was his most promising year he performed on local shows such as: Campfire, Spring Bling, Elephant Man's Birthday Bash, Portland All Food Fest, Mount Alvernia's Prep's Barbeque, and Juici Beef's Family Fun Day. He also performed in Guyana on a show that featured artistes Bounty Killer and Wayne Wonder; later that year he headlined a show in Miami.

The year 2009 has opened on a good note for him as well he performed at Mr. & Ms. St. Thomas, Land Dilo Kite Festival, Proper Fix in St. Elizabeth, and at the Salvation Army Disable Concert. Later this year he is expected to Headline a show in St. Kitts and make appearances in Guyana, Trinidad, Bahamas, Cayman, Canada and French Guiana.

There can be no dispute that QQ's style has matured over the years and that he has demonstrated that regardless of his young age he is versatile and possesses a talent that is in demand and surpasses that of his teen years. His song compilation now consists of numerous conscious tunes that shed light on the rising crime and poverty rate and situation in Jamaica such as: 'Poverty', 'Better Mus Come', and his most recent 'How Do You Feel' which has a music video that is dedicated to the Disabled Children in Jamaica. He has however, not forgotten how to entertain a crowd and his origin of dancing which is evident in another one of his new songs titled 'Waist' which is creating a buzz locally and regionally. It is safe to say that QQ is growing with time alongside his talent and fan base. However, with his father playing dual role of father and manager it keeps QQ grounded and humble and a well rounded entertainer and student.
