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.

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

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

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.

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

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