DJ par extraordinaire & head of Dirty Dutch Records, Chuckie has been “knighted” in his home country of Suriname.

Chuckie, aka Clyde Sergio Narain, was decorated as Commander of the Order of the Yellow Star by President Desire D. Bouterse for his musical accomplishments and for serving as an inspiration to the youth of his country.

Yesterday he also went on to post a photo to Instagram, writing: “So amazing to see that my motherland shows so much love for me!!! I also got “knighted” by the president of Suriname!!! From now on call me Sir Clyde Narain!“

Narain visited his native Suriname, a former Dutch colony in northern South America, to perform at the Caribbean Festival of Arts in the capital, Paramaribo. Following his award, he did a live DJ set and even gave President Bouterse a lesson in mixing.
