I was very conceptual about what I was doing; I had the first five albums planned out, and all the songs on every album, and the artwork. I always had these ambitious musical projects in mind.

Unfortunately, there are very few facilities which offer courses in the arts. Not all the secondary schools offer the subject for CXC examinations.

I have noticed that these days, people don't want to take their time to succeed.

I was constantly drawing and colouring. I had an immense love for art and anything which involved art fascinated me.

We should not let negative influences get to us.

There are literally endless options and possibilities, and often no clear or obvious path in how to make that choice, and nobody to tell you to go this way or that. But somehow, it works itself out if you trust in the process, which is often easier said than done.

I remember my friends at primary and secondary school admiring my work and even paying me money for some of my pieces.
