Twenty-year-old Kenroy Walker, also known as 'Roy Dip', is a past student of Bridgeport High School. He is now a member of 'the John squad' (a group of dancers), and has been dancing and inventing dance moves for approximately two years.

He got his inspiration when he began to notice that he had the talent. Soon persons around him started encouraging him.

However, Kenroy's first ambition was to become a mechanic and then a sportsman, as he liked track & field and football.

Nevertheless, this young dancer said that he is satisfied with his career now, but due to the death of dance icon, 'Bogle' earlier this year, he had to cool down a little. "Because dem put the blame on us, is jus crazy ting. Cause dem wrongfully blame we, so more time we want mek couple move, but nuh badda," he said.

When asked what he would change about dancehall, he replied, "Me woulda love fi see di gun ting cut out. Man fi stop come a dance with gun."

This young man earned his way into 'the John squad' through his close friendship with 'Shankle Dip' and 'Shelly Belly', who are also members of 'the John squad'. "Me and dem always a roll and dem see seh me can dance," he said.

Like a true dancer, he has invented a new dance move, called 'diggy diggy', which he demonstrated for Da Flex with much enthusiasm. Holding his crotch, he knocked both heels together and moved his waist in a 'jooking' motion. The name 'diggy diggy' was already established, as a part of the lyrics of 'John Hype's debut song, 'Roses mi did deh': "and a we diggy diggy in a di…" This line sparked the idea for his dance move. "Well, mi did a listen to the music and mi just start dance," he explained. He had previously invented a dance move called 'Draw di dip', which he has performed at local events like the Eclipse pool party, among others.

Kenroy is about to embark on a trip to Bermuda with his fellow dancer 'Shankle Dip'. When asked to give his take on the dancehall industry, he responded, "Well, di entataina dem can do dem ting, but it still a go need di dansaz dem."

His plan for the future is to settle down with his 'real babes' and have kids, and also to 'catch up' with the dancehall movement, because he had to lie low, due to the 'incident'. He also told Da Flex that there is much more to be expected of him, as he has other dance moves in the making, so look out for more from 'Roy Dip'.
