His tracks have received airplay in USA, Australia, Spain, South Africa, Ghana and counting. In addition, he has supported the likes of Tinie Tempah (twice), Lemar, Example, McLean, Scorcher, Ms. Dynamite, Donae'o, Shola Ama, Bobby Valentino, Dj Whoo Kid, Faith SFX, Young Lloyd, US R&B group Next, Maxwell D, Wretch 32, Tribal Magz, Dj Luck and Mc neat, Young Lion (BBC 1xtra) to mention but a few. Following on from the success of his last project, ''The Difference'' EP, Dretonio continues to work hard relentless and now brings you a FREE mixtape ''UP & ON IT'' released 23-12-2011 to almost a standing ovation. In this mixtape Dretonio starts by reflecting on his life with a remix of Drake's & Rihanna's ''Moment4Life'', followed by ''Designer D.I.V.A.'' a melodious and intimate with his protégé Enemy and long-time friend Yogi Wan. He unassumingly answers critics from the streets with hard hitting bars on freestyle tracks such as Jay-Z & Kanye's 'Otis', Lil Wayne's '6Foot 7Foot', Ms. Dynamite's 'Neva Soft' teaser, a UK version of DJ Khalid's 'Welcome To My hood' on ''Reppin Your Hood'' and his take on the UK riots with the socio-political track ''Stop The Riots'' on a hard hip-hop beat. He cements his position as a singer/songwriter and lyricist with his beautiful vocals on ''Christmas Love'' & ''Miss Pretty Lady''. The story and journey of this song is fascinating (TBC). Since the launch of his EP ''The Difference'' in July 2011, a brand new website www.DretonioMusic.com and that refreshed 'pretty boy swag' image, Dretonio has gone from strength to strength, gaining deserved recognition on the UK urban scene including magazine interviews in M.I.L.E., NIJI, Rago, Rep Dat, Kick Start, J Lounge, Chemical, Daily Urban Newz plus many more, amassing an impressive 60,000 views on www.youtube.com/DretonioMusic over the last 2 months.
