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

Jamaica is so musical, diverse and so extreme, from people singing in the streets to dancing.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
