Quest. How long have you been performing?
Ans. I have been performing since the tender age of 10. My father had a sound system called feather tone, so, I was exposed to that industry at an early age, that’s where I got my inspiration, being on the road with him made me want to perform. Quest. What motivated the song serious times?
Ans. The suffering I experienced growing up as a Jamaican youth and the suffering the Jamaican people have to cope with on a daily basis.
Quest. What do you feel about the rising popularity of dance hall music here in the ....US....?
Ans. I feel proud to be apart of the growth in the dancehall/Reggae Industry, and to help remove the barrier faced by our young artiste. It has really given ....Jamaica.... a lot of exposure, and sends a positive message knowing that Reggae music can be on the same caliber as Hip-Hop. People like Bob Marley, Toots Hibberts, Peter Tosh and Sanchez just to name a few, has fought hard to bring Reggae to the forefront of the worldwide music industry.
Quest. Is it hard to be a popular musician and still hold on to your values?
Ans. No, we live what we learn and humility has taken me through day to day life so, what I experience in life is what I sing about and I try to remain true to who I am and where I’m coming from.
Quest. Do you do any charity work?
Ans. Yes, I have contributed to several shows that benefit the homeless; I am an avid supporter in the Garveymeade youth for progress association. I work a lot with community reconstruction to help develop opportunities for the younger generation; I have also helped many homeless children, by sending them to school.
Quest. Was there a conflict with having a Seventh Day Adventist mother, and a Rastafarian father?
Ans. No, there wasn’t any conflict, firstly Rastafarianism is a way of life, its how you live and it teaches you to love no matter what race colour, creed or religion, we should all live as one, as his Imperial Majesty states
“one aim, one destiny, one love”
