Adrian Dutchin was on Saturday declared the Road March King, 2012 with his entry “I am Guyanese” when the results were released by the Mash Secretariat. In second position was Vanilla with “Rage” and in third place was Tropical and Mystic with “Regardless”.
In an interview with the newly crowned road march King, Dutchin expressed his gratitude to his thousands of fans who have supported the song. He also acknowledged Digicel, the media and his colleague Jumo Primo for the confidence they placed in him.
Dutchin said that he decided to write the song after taking into consideration that Caribbean people sing about their countries and Guyanese artiste sing less about Guyana. He is confident that the song will be appreciated by the thousands of Guyanese living in North America and further afield.
Dutchin is also recovering from the Carib Soca Monarch competition where he was adjudged third and is of the opinion that his presentation deserved a better place. This is the third time that the X2 singer was awarded with the Road March King title.

Other winners in the Best Full Costume Large category were Banks DIH which was awarded second and Youth Coalition for Transformation (YCT) tied with the Culture, Youth and Sport Ministry for the third spot.
