1) Liam Dargaville and Re… Read Full Bio ↴There are two groups with the name HEAVY.
1) Liam Dargaville and Reem Nabhani, a 420 hiphop duo from Auckland, New Zealand.
2) Casey (stutzmcgee) Benjamin & Nicky (Ampersand Jones) Guiland = HEAVy, a mind boggling mix of rock, soul and pop chock full of quirk and irony that is uniquely their own.
The Jamaica Queens, NY natives carry on the "power-duo" tradition of singer and producer, pulling influences from across the spectrum, Herbie Hancock, Rotary Connection, The Police, Prince to name a few.
Nicky, half Trini - half Jamaican, was born on stage. After years of dance training in local and professional programs, she grew tired of the restrictive discipline and at age 12 showed promise with vocal arts. Casey, Grenadian/ Panamanian, grew up with music all around. His fathers extensive record collection encouraged Casey's musical aptitude and by age 8 the self taught pianist found himself in love with the saxophone. His high school years would prove to be both promising and heartbreaking when his band, Legacy, signed to Uptown Records, only later to be shelved by parent company MCA after Uptown folded. Their shared love for jazz and similar cultural backgrounds brought the two together in their senior year at New York's infamous Fiorello H. La Guardia High School of Music and Art and the Performing Arts. After a semester of collaborations and performances the two both accepted scholarships to New School University's Jazz program, but it wasn't until Nicky's senior recital that they would collaborate again. By May of 2001, Casey had left The New School to begin regular touring with DJ Logic/Project Logic to MD the run and solidify his brand as a Saxophonist/Keyboardist/Vocoder player. Nicky knew she needed a musical director who could handle a diverse setlist. After a successful show, they knew they were onto something and HEAVy was born, named after the comments they'd received about their new sound.
Since then, HEAVy has released one EP, 2004's HEAVY on Kindred Spirits Records, featuring the critically acclaimed "Wonderlove (for minnie)", HEAVY Remixed with work by Jazzanova and Dj Spinna and two full albums, the 2007 BBE Records release JAzzmonEY$$ and most recently in 2009 HEAVy First Sessions on Kindred Spirits Records, a lost session recorded in 2001 showcasing the roots of this eclectic group. HEAVy has toured Europe extensively opening for N.E.R.D, Jill Scott and Q-Tip.

Word word
Word, word
Pretty lady, can I have a
Second of your time, in order to deliver
This message that I've been keepin'
Inside for a while since you and I been meetin'
Some were fly, some with okay faces
But all that you could do was stop and glance
But you really caught the eye of the Overweight Prince
That day that I saw you shoppin' in Macy's
Tried to track you down, girl you drove me crazy
Now that I got you, in front of me
You'll never wanna leave Heavy D, I'm gonna make you love me
[Chorus]
I'm gonna make you love me, love me
I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna make you love me, love me
I'm gonna make you love me
It took weeks, tried to track you down
Spent a whole lot of time searchin' all around town
It's like you disappeared, without a trace
Then one day I turned around BOOM you're right in my face
So just chill, cause this will only take a minute
Sit down relax while I start from the beginnin'
See I am Heavy D and entertainment's my profession
There's no stoppin love when I start my caressin
I can make your day, much brighter than the sun
And if you like good times, I'm the one for fun
I won't try to buy you girl with my money or gold
'Cause love can't be bought is how the story is told
But I'll treat you really good, give you all of my time
And each and every day you will be on my mind
All I want from you is truth and honesty
You'll never wanna leave Heavy D, cause I'mma make you love me
[Chorus]
Yeah you see what I'm sayin?
Y'know, come to the crib, say about nine o'clock
And I'll have the filet mignon
And Dom Perignon chillin' on ice
And when you come, park, y'knahmsayin? Word
The lyrics to Heavy D the Boyz's song "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" tells the story of a man who meets a woman and becomes infatuated with her. The singer of the song is the Overweight Prince, Heavy D himself, who sees the woman at Macy's and then spends weeks trying to track her down. When he finally finds her, he promises to treat her well and make her fall in love with him.
Throughout the song, Heavy D uses a combination of smooth talk and promises of good times to try to win over the object of his affection. He acknowledges that he's seen plenty of pretty and interesting women before, but none of them have caught his attention the way she has. He's determined to make her love him, not by buying her things or being flashy, but by being genuine and treating her well.
The repetition of the phrase "I'm gonna make you love me" throughout the song reinforces Heavy D's commitment to the woman he's pursuing. The chorus features a simple melody and lyrics, focusing on that determination to win over his love interest. In the end, Heavy D encourages the woman to come over to his house for a romantic evening with fine food and champagne, hoping to further his attempts at wooing her.
Overall, "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" is a classic example of a smooth R&B love song, incorporating elements of hip hop and rap into the mix. Heavy D's smooth delivery and confident lyrics make it clear that he's got his sights set on one particular woman, and he's not giving up until he's won her heart.
