Tony Cuttz is currently one of the most popular singers in Guyana in the Chutney genre, owing to his song “My Johnny Walker” which has become an anthem, gaining him fans not just at home, but also in Trinidad, other parts of the Caribbean, North America and even all the way in South Africa.
The song’s video has attracted over three million views on YouTube. Meanwhile, his latest single “Leh We Go”, which was released two weeks ago, is currently getting airplay on local stations as well as in Trinidad.
Born Remesh Brijnauth in Suriname, Tony Cuttz grew up with three younger siblings at their grandparents’ home in Little Abary, Mahaicony. Country life was not always the easiest, the singer recalled, but it provided him with skills like swimming, and learning to catch fish with a cast net among other things. He professed gratitude for such experiences.
