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

I'm inspired by everything that I encounter, from the environment to people to other songs, movies and artists.

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

I love to surround myself with people who are the best at what they do. My idea is I want to be a sponge and absorb everything they to teach, experience their energy, view them in their element and have the opportunity to ask them questions.

Especially as an artist who has been signed to one of the majors throughout my last ten years, you don't always get to write your own music.

Jamaica is just one of those places that has so many stimulating factors in everyday existence. It definitely feeds me, my creativity and my soul in so many ways.

No matter what class you're from - uptown or downtown - when you're in the dancehall everyone's equal, and it's how you choose to express yourself that makes you stand out.
