I think it's important to just be in your subconscious mind - at least when you're starting an idea.

A lot of the people I was writing with think a lot more about lyrics and a lot more about the details from the beginning. That kind of thinking made me a little self-conscious because I was suddenly having to judge what I was doing early on in the process.

I must say that the first person to realise that I was talented in art was my mother.

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

I labour over details and whether a song should be a straight pop song form or exploratory. This is the curse with doing things by yourself.

I am home grown St. Lucian. Born in 1980 I have spent most of my life on this island. Apart from the few summers I spent in the United States I spent most of my time in my homeland.
