The band consist of Pritpal Rayat and Suky Kaila (ex keyboard and founding member of Sahara).
This debut album from DV8 is fused with vibrant melodies and powerful asian percussion.
Pritpal has been singing from a young age and this album represents the first step in a career that shows great potential.
With a voice not typical of the powerful counterparts from India, Pritpal sings in a manner more befitting with the old skool of the 90’s – a voice full of melody and positively UK.
Suky is a well known producer who spent his formative years playing keyboards with Sahara and contributing to the massive album ‘Access All areas’. After leaving Sahara, Suky started producing for other artists which included Pritpal. Such was the impact of the production, Suky and Pritpal set up a roadshow called DV8. This roadshow has been growing spectactularly performing gigs all over the UK.
Pritpal : ‘We are delighted with our debut release having spent many months in the studio. The response to date has been very positive and feel privileged to be signed to a highly regarded record label in the bhangra industry. We really would like to thank Ninder Johal for keeping faith and confidence in DV8.’
Nachural : ‘At Nachural we have been very careful in our A & R strategy and have chosen to work with only a few artists. The criteria is quite simple – does the artist have longevity ??? Is the artist capable to sustaining quality from the first to the fifth album ?? Does the artist have the temperament to cope with pressures of the music industry and finally is the artist different to what is in the market ???? I am pleased to say that DV8 answers all the questions to the positive’
