"Music’s always been my school and my teacher, it’s everything to me.Simple as that.All the reggae I’ve been listening to through all these years really raised me and helped me build myself musically, as I always wanted to listen carefully andabsorb that type of vibe. And, by doing so, I managed to keep Jamaicanculture in tune with my African roots as well”
