Da'Ville, aka Orville Thomas, the former lead singer of the renowned boys group ARP (A Raw Perspective) has upped the ante on his solo career, which has amassed a large local and overseas following. He started singing at age 16 when he wrote and recorded his first single under the influence of his father, Jah Thomas, who was a dancehall star in the 1970's. "I voiced the first song for him, my first real recording. I felt like I was continuing my father's legacy."
