Influences:My influences over the years have been the music i was exposed to as a child, these include early rnb to country and western. The motown label was a popular period in my life growing up, such talent like the temptations, smokeyrobinson, gladys knight, stevie wonder, the supremes, marha reeves, and marvin gaye. My whole world became open to the music and lyrics of these talented people.I would always hear sam coole, otis reading, areatha franklin, jim reeves, percy sledge and wilson picket. And dreamnt that one day i would follow in their footsteps. Music was everywhere in our house when i was growing up, the early rock steady blue beat, to studio one. I was open to all musical influences growing up from the wailers to the paragons , derrick morgan th the beatles . Growing up in england exposed me to pop music of that time rolling stones the who, and female singers such as dusty springfeild. My biggest influence has been the jackson five, watching their success really made me believe, dreams can come true .Reggae inflences include dennis brown, errol dunkley, john holt, slim smith, ken booth, johnny clarke, alton ellis, marcia griffith, bob any. I openly embrased all genres of music and grew with the music around me.Sound systems exposed me to a greater variety of reggae music, beres hammond, sugar minnot, michael prophet, coco tea, sammy levy, sanchez. Yes i enjoyed all the music over the years of my life.I have to say my inflences also came from my mother vera sadly and dearly missed, my father astley, my brothers ashley, ken devon, albert and paul. And also my beautiful wife denise, my children stefan ,keisha , jason, marcus , charrelle, shera, and anthony have all inspired me to keep pushing and never give up on my dream. My brother in law alan seaton sadly and dearly missed, my brothers in laws nathaniel, gabriel simon abijah, my sister in laws natasha, diane, melanie, delories, and my mother and father in law linda and abraham, cousin Lloyd, My producer and second brother gussie p, paul robinson, joe grine, mafia and fluxy, granville, the viking posse, the nine lives crew, fashion crew, saxon family, and tad hunter. But my greatest influence has to be the lord my god, who without in my life none of these things would be possibl, he has moulde me, shaped me and blessed me. Encouraged me throughout ups and downs and will always be my biggest inflence, PRAISE HIMMIKE ANTONY
