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.

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

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

Did you know that I exist before the earth and did you know my eyes are windows to the world.

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

Everything I've experienced, things that my friends have experienced and we talk about, things that are on the news - all aspects of life are in my message.
