Deliman

The Viennese Singjay "DELIMAN" - civically known as Christian Lahodynsky - is one of Austria's best and most ambitious Reggae artists. In his early years he gained stage-experience with his self-founded sound system "Trichromatic Sound", establishing his name amongst the Austrian Reggae-Dancehall scene. At this stage he evolved from a HipHop-Dancehall MC to a promising vocal and song writing talent.
Deliman sings Reggae with R'n'B influences, free of common clich�s. He makes music to unite people, to make them dance and give them a chance to enjoy some time together far away from every-day-life's stress.
During his numerous gigs he gets to know international artists of his genre, performing with acts such as JUNIOR KELLY (JAM), YAH MEEK (JAM), CALI P. (CH), REBELLION THE RECALLER (GAM) MACKA B (UK), UWE BANTON or L.M.J. (JAM) and many, many more.
The turn of the year 2009 brought positive change along with it.
At the beginning of the year he celebrated the release of his first single "King of Kings", which appeared on Sam Gilly's House of Riddim-Label. Furthermore he met the young backing band "The Fireman Crew" and started working with them on his live performances. In addition to the originally four-member cast, two background singers are supporting the backing band, adding even more dynamic to the live shows.
The crew works live as well as in the studio with national and international artists. While they play their own live shows they also produce their very own riddims, which get a lot of positive feedback from renowned artists.
In february 2010 "Deliman and The Fireman Crew" were nominated for the "Austrian Newcomer Award 2010" and recieved it in two categorys. In June, Deliman & The Fireman Crew participated to the Austrian/Swiss Reggae Contest, won it and got the oppurtunity to play @ Rototom Sunsplash 2010/ Benicassim Spain, Europe's largest Reggae Festival. In September 2011, Deliman released his Debut Album "Unconquerable" (Union World Music/ Hoanzl)
