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

Jamaica is one of the most musically influential nations in the world. Throughout the entire globe, there are pockets that are constantly in touch with what goes on in the dancehall community, from Germany to Japan, to different parts of Africa like Ghana.

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

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.

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

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.

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