The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.

My father and I had a really good relationship. We're cool. I am not trying to outdo him or anything like that.

I've opened up more by traveling outside Jamaica. It helps me to grow as a person to be outside of my element; to be on my own in a strange place meeting people.

Working on my own gave me a chance to take my time and experiment a lot.

It was my dad’s idea that music is supposed to be more than simply about entertainment and making a living, but about being of service as an integral part of the consciousness of the world. In honor of him and because it’s right, I use music in that light.

My father was interested in bringing reggae music to the entire world.

The Rastafari culture has a very strong connection to Haile Selassie, a descendant of King Solomon.
