Dwala

If you’ve been paying attention to the evolution of Caribbean music, you’ve probably heard the name Dwala.

UK-born but deeply immersed in the Trinidadian music scene, Neel Dwala has spent over 25 years crafting sounds that push boundaries while staying rooted in authenticity. More than just a producer, he’s a sonic architect—blending the warmth of Soca, Reggae, and Dancehall with forward-thinking production.

His fingerprints are all over some of the most exciting Caribbean music today, from the critically acclaimed Man With No Door by Kes to the chart-topping 1996 by Coutain & Dwala. 1996 dominated the #1 spot on Trinidad’s Apple Music charts, while its lead single, “Artform,” became a viral success, trending on TikTok, #1 on Shazam in Trinidad, and topping the local reggae charts.

Beyond records, Dwala’s sound design has graced award-winning films, Nickelodeon, and major brands like BBC, Boiler Room, and Discovery—proving his versatility and wide-reaching influence. With 150+ releases and 40M+ streams, his work speaks for itself.
