Music Video: Little JJ Releases Happy Remix

Bermuda musician Javoni Dowling Swan, better known by his stage name Little JJ, has released a new music video, covering Pharrell William’s popular track “Happy” in a song called “Happy [Summertime Remix].”

The song and video focus on the Bermuda experience, encouraging a laid back attitude and the enjoyment of all the island has to offer in the summertime. Fellow artist DLB, also known as Daquan, joins Little JJ for the chorus.

Javoni is a 17-year-old CedarBridge Academy student who has been involved with music from a very early age. His introduction to music came in the form of learning to play the drums, an endeavor that saw him play overseas while also leading to him picking up the trombone and piano.

When asked why he chose to cover “Happy,” he said, “I always liked the song and thought it would be unique and different to rap to a song like this and turn it into a summer jam – even though summer is over – and to give a bump to the diffident things you can do during the summer.”

By the age of 14, Javoni had taken an interest in rapping. That interest, nurtured by a family member, took the young man to new places in his musical interests, eventually leading him to become a member of The Chewstick Foundation. His involvement with Chewstick has lead to a variety of new opportunities, including the chance to perform on stage and at a series of open mic events.

Since joining Chewstick, Javoni has joined a music group called Red Army, featuring four rappers and three singers, and become part of a production team called SJS, where he has been exposed to recording music videos and documenting musical events via photography. His exposure has included being interviewed on Power 95 and having his songs played on the air.

When asked about what the future held for him, he said, “My future plans are to go away to university and take up music production and song writing and find something music related.”
