█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ Khamelien, pronounced, (ke-me-le-an), like the reptile, grew up on the █
█ . │▓ beautiful island of Trinidad. Born Damien Dominique Reid, ôKhamelienö and █
█ . │▓ his family struggled to make ends meet after his father left them with █
█ . │▓ little more than a roof over their heads and moved to Canada. His family █
█ . │▓ knew that no matter how bad things got, they always had each other and █
█ . │▓ their friends and neighbors. The people of his small town would simply █
█ . │▓ find ways to help someone in need. ôWhen someone needed something and █
█ . │▓ someone else had it, they gave it to them. ThatÆs just the way it wasö █
█ . │▓ recalls Damien. ôThatÆs how people showed love for one anotherö █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ Searching for a way to fit in to the diverse culture of the island, a █
█ . │▓ young Damien studied the many musical rhythms that surrounded him. He █
█ . │▓ learned to use these sounds to entertain himself and his family. While █
█ . │▓ other kids his age were just hanging around and often got in trouble, he █
█ . │▓ would take any opportunity he could to sing. He remembers singing in his █
█ . │▓ church choir at the age of 7. Even though he was the youngest member of █
█ . │▓ the choir, he was also one of the best singers. While everyone praised his █
█ . │▓ talent, he was just happy being part of a group. He recalls how he would █
█ . │▓ rush off after church to meet his friends and how they would spend hours █
█ . │▓ singing the songs that were popular at the time. He learned to use music █
█ . │▓ as a way to be accepted. Despite not having much money, he realized there █
█ . │▓ was plenty to be happy about. He had family, and friends, and he had █
█ . │▓ music. █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ Priding himself on always being able to adapt to any situation, especially █
█ . │▓ musically, his friends quickly started calling him ôchameleonö. He later █
█ . │▓ changed the spelling, using ôKhö in keeping with Rastafarian tradition and █
█ . │▓ ending it with ôienö as in Damien, his birth name. █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ Mired in poverty, "KhamelienÆs" mother looked for a way out and a better █
█ . │▓ life for her children, so she packed up their few personal belongs and █
█ . │▓ headed to Brooklyn, New York. Although they had little in hand they █
█ . │▓ brought plenty in their hearts. ôKhamelienö, then a teenager, says that as █
█ . │▓ he was leaving Trinidad, his friends all told him he should pursue his █
█ . │▓ musical talents when he arrived in the states. These words of █
█ . │▓ encouragement are what drive him today. Although he was uncertain of what █
█ . │▓ lied ahead, he knew that he always had a song to sing and those songs █
█ . │▓ contained a big part of him, his homeland. And so the journey along with a █
█ . │▓ dream began for the youngster from Trinidad. █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ Upon arriving in New York, he spent a lot of time trying to hone his █
█ . │▓ musical talents. He began writing his own songs and could often be found █
█ . │▓ on the local street corners of Brooklyn and in Ozone park Queens, New █
█ . │▓ York, singing and rapping with the local crowd. His style was unique. His █
█ . │▓ songs were more R&B with some Ragamuffin (A form of Reggae) and a little █
█ . │▓ street rap mixed in. This combined with a Caribbean accent made him stand █
█ . │▓ out. His smooth and sweet voice started to get a lot of attention. He █
█ . │▓ recalls how the people he hung around with would wait for him to show up; █
█ . │▓ often so that they could impress a friend who had never heard him sing. He █
█ . │▓ continued to work on his music and often entered music competitions. It █
█ . │▓ was at one of these competitions that he was noticed by music producer, █
█ . │▓ Dadu Pasquette, who brought him into the studio and helped him produce his █
█ . │▓ first demo CD. This is when Khamelien began to think that maybe his █
█ . │▓ dream could come true. This experience along with a later opportunity to █
█ . │▓ work in a recording studio completed the picture for ôKhamelienö. He now █
█ . │▓ knew what he needed to do in order to become a complete artist. He needed █
█ . │▓ to focus on the three key elements; the ability to write good songs, the █
█ . │▓ ability to sing those songs, and the ability to record those songs. He was █
█ . │▓ sure he could do all three. █
█ . │▓ █
█ . │▓ It wasnÆt until after 9/11, that he left New York and headed to Orlando █
█ . │▓ Florida. There, ôkhamelienö began to work on his delivery and performance █
█ . │▓ skills. He incorporated a ôhappyö, ôeasyö style he remembers feeling in █
█ . │▓ Trinidad, with the ôedginessö he acquired in New York. His first big break █
█ . │▓ came when he landed a gig as the headliner at a popular Universal Studios █
█ . │▓ night club. ItÆs there that claims to have developed what he calls ôA █
█ . │▓ party roomö style that he describes ôas a place where people have to find █
█ . │▓ ways to fit inö. Its the music that allows this to happen, he says. Its █
█ . │▓ the sense that we belong that makes us feel good ô. ôIt feels good to fit █
█ . │▓ inöàMaybe weÆre all Chameleons? █
