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

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.

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

To me, the creative inspiration is endless and coming in all sorts of different directions at all times.

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.

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.
