I'm a Canadian Jamaican. For me, I carry my Jamaican element into my music in my more recent releases.

Because Caribbean music is now coming back into the mainstream, there are so many things that make this the perfect time to educate people on where this music, this vibe, and these dance moves come from.

When you're given a song, it's my job to record the lyrics, story and emotion, and make everyone who is listening to the song believe that it was my words and experience.

In the dancehall world, we have crews and they battle. It's part of the entire culture surrounding dancehall.

I'm definitely trying to incorporate a Caribbean and reggae element.

When you think about the passion that's involved wth Jamaican culture, it's like, they're not sitting around waiting for things to get all pretty: they want it raw and dutty.

I've always felt acting is a part of music.
