Much like some of the greats, Dyman has an undying passion and respect for music, an artist whose goals are to consistently make a valuable contribution to the rich history of the reggae and dancehall music.

Originating from the Waterhouse-Olympic Gardens vicinity of Kingston, Jamaica, Dyman grew up inspired by some of the great artists that lived in the surrounding communities. Great pioneers such as U-Roy, Admiral Bailey, Josey Wales, General Trees, Ninja Man, Beenie Man, King Jammy's, and Sturgrav were only a few of the familiar faces and institutions that were from the area. Developing a love for music at a very early age, he would often save his lunch money in order to purchase cassettes of the latest stage shows and sound clashes. Moved by the execution of words, delivered energy, overall performances—his passion and love for music became real. Memorizing numerous most of Professor Nuts’ songs, Dyman would perform them to family on his summer visits outside of Kingston.

Later migrating to the United States in 1992, Dyman became consumed with the new sounds that emerged from Jamaica,as well as his introduction to Hip Hop, Soul and R&B. The lyrical creativity,delivery and melodies of artists such as: Buju Banton, Spragga Benz, Bounty Killer, Baby Wayne, Wayne Wonder, Sanchez, Born Jamericans, Heavy D, Nas, Tupac, Wu Tang Clan, Jodeci, Mary J Blige, and others. Loving the sound he was hearing, Dyman became curious and wanted to see what it was like to create an original song of his own. Thus the journey began.
After graduating high school, he became a founding member of the group (expired link), which later became Rebel Flex. He would remain with the group until the end of 2000, becoming a solo artist from that point on. Over the years, Dyman has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry.

His journey took him to other areas of music where he wrote for CT entertainment magazines, played music in clubs and was also a radio DJ on 107.7 FM; “The Reggae Showcase”—which he hosted on Central Connecticut State University’s campus radio station. This program would last for more than a decade, gaining a reputable name in clubs, house parties, and many interviewed artists that would pass through the clutches of the ‘disc jockey’ that simply knew music. In later years, Dyman’s program, “Reggae Showcase”would shift its success to greater opportunities as it joined WENXRADIO—a premier internet radio station. The program had its last run in mid 2013.
