I would be lying if I didn't say that the most inspirational place for me is Jamaica.

Every place has its own challenges. In Canada, we have blessings like grants, but we also have curses in the sense that when you start to do more urban classified music, we no longer have a single urban radio station left.

Jamaica is an island that is filled with so much culture.

Dance brings us all together.

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

When I lived in Jamaican I lived in Kingston, in Spanish Town, and when I go there the only place I want to go is Kingston because that's where the culture is the richest.

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.
