HE'S A REBEL - BUT NOT TONY!


Worm Bass


He's toured the world with the likes of Beenie Man, stood on the Grammy podium, and even shot a cover feature fro French Vogue

Tony Rebel
but for Delroy Nevin, more popularly known as "Worm Bass" Royal Caribbean, it's being mistaken for Rebel Salute founder Patrick "Tony Rebel"
Barrett that is still a bugbear. The situation is so bad, he recounts, that even members of the "Rebel's" family and entourage have come up to him
thinking him to be Tony Rebel.

But Worm Bass, himself a three-decade veteran of the entertainment biz, whose career started in the resort town of Montego Bay and blossomed in 
Ocho Rios, is not letting the more than passing resemblance or the mistaken identity faze him. He's moving forward as he always has with his career
in his typically organic fashion. Among his upcoming projects are a full-length disc ("in progress; we're taking our time"), and a number of dates both
across the island and overseas.

Scanning the overall music/entertainment scene, Worm Bass is appealing to artistes to take more of what he calls the "long view." in developing
their career. "We could gain so much more form this business is artiste were willing to take a serious look at the business and not be just running
down the quickest dollar," he says.

That said, the lanky bassist, and multiple talent is working hard to get himself established in the higher firmament of the music scene and thereby help
to erase the ongoing confusion between himself and "the Rebel
