The path through life sometimes take you through unexpected places; places you never dare to dream of or even fantasize about. Many of us look back at our lives and our successes belie our beginnings and if destiny has been that generous to us we can only smile and then only then begin to dream of further possibilities.

From an idea of Electronic Engineer to becoming one of the most successful radio disc jockeys, meet Dahved Levy current king of the Caribbean swing. Dhaved, grew up in Barbados, and at the age of 17, migrated to the US for further studies. City College was the beginning of a journey that would define his life and career for years to come.

While at City College he entered a Frankie Crocker sound alike contest and won. The opportunity put him in college radio where playing at College parties soon became his forte`. They were so successful and profitable they opened up an unending stream of bookings from state colleges and other venues. Pretty soon he was the toast of every happening party at Suny Colleges and some of New York’s hottest nightspots.

From there it was no turning back, his expertise and hard work paid off and he landed a job at Kiss Fm, moving on to 107.5fm WBLS and then to 1190am Wlib, where he successfully juggled both positions, all the time pulling in top arbritron ratings. He has conquered the New York entertainment scene in both radio and promotions and continues to defy the odds, rising to the top like sweet cream every time.

I had the distinct privilege of interviewing this very engaging bachelor while he worked one Sunday evening in the studios of WBLS. Ladies it’s a joy to watch him work. His energy is infectious and his oh- so attractive fingers move with such agility and rhythmic motions on the boards, the mind wanders… hmmm!

The Original Rude Bwoy or The original Nappy Head Zulu Brand from Lutan, Big Nose Big Lips, Everything Big, Small Fingers Small Toes (he so unabashedly calls himself) is every bit the strong, dominant, confident, self-assured male many of us desire but are afraid to take on. Don’t be fooled by his aloof demeanor which sends off the signal—look but don’t touch, as once you start peeling, what you will find is every girls dream…

Warm places, a passionate, conscientious heart and the soul of a man, who conquers all your fears and quells the voices in your head, which tells you, “no, this can’t be true.”

Not one to structure the dating experience, “going with the flow makes for more pleasurable moments” he says; he approaches each date with an open mind and wants that lucky lady to do the same. “You learn so much about a person’s passion that way.”

Dhaved’s sense of adventure and appreciation of life is the blueprint for limitless possibilities and a strong and centered life. Being a part of that, is an experience worth having and a path worth sharing. Why wait?
