Still on a high from his debut performance at Reggae Sumfest, recording artiste Dillgin is getting ready to embark on an all-island tour.

"The people have been showing me so much love. I was pleased with the reception I got at Sumfest. It was my first time and it was a great experience for me. To perform on a platform like that, one of Jamaica's biggest shows, it definitely gave me a boost to go do my thing right across Jamaica," he said. "There will be 14 shows, one in every parish, and people should just look forward to a great time with Dillgin. I will be joined on the shows by another artiste by the name of High Priest. Together, we will give the people joy and happiness through music."

Dillgin, who is known for songs such as Mayweather, Lock Di Road, My Life and Party featuring Sikka Rymes, said he hopes lovers of music come out to enjoy the showcase he has put together.

"I am always in the studio working on new projects. I'm about to release a new track titled Memories. Mayweather is still going good and so I just want everyone who loves good music to come out and have a good time with me as I move across Jamaica," he said. "With all that's going on in Jamaica and the world, we need spiritual protection and I want to share that love and unity through this tour."
