Every one of my father's songs is a lesson.

Poverty breeds a lot of things. When people are desperate and trying to survive, they do drastic things.

Your body's just a vehicle, transporting the soul. It's what's inside of people, is beauty to behold.

The victory's found in truth, like innocence found in youth Self defeat is your own dispute

I like singing all songs, really, but I find that writing social commentary comes naturally.

I grew up in uptown Jamaica; I went to a rich school. I was raised by my mother and my stepfather; they made sure education came before anything. I had a good childhood, grew up spending time with my bigger brothers and sisters. My people are good people. I was exposed to a lot of different kinds of people and culture.

The UK is one of the places that has always been an advocate of my music and I spend a lot of time touring here. I've got family and friends over here, but more than that, there's a large Jamaican community and the Jamaican culture is very widespread in the UK which I love.
