As an artist, I feel that my father's biggest influence is me realizing that music has a purpose and it's not just for business and that music is spiritual. I get that from him that music is a spiritual thing.

Nobody owns me or my music.

I am not reggae, I am me. I am bigger than the limits that are put on me. It all has to do with the individual journey.

The present is what slips by us while we're pondering the past and worrying about the future.

As an artist myself I don't like to be preached. I want to enjoy myself, so I kind of use that perspective to make music.

The last thing my father told me was: 'On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don't let me down.' A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.

I have a satellite radio show called 'The Legends of Reggae.' It's a cool way to branch out and do other things. I'm paying respect to the legends of reggae.
