About Me
Its Grassroots. My iration has to be more grassroots than other artists.From the beginning, my involvement in music is a whole heap big and complicated and stay a way.
As a child, it was Ras Michael who took me away regularly from my yard with the sounds of drums coming from his yard. My mother had only to look into Ras Michaels yard to find her baby boy missing from morning, usually wearing only my brief. Ras Michael, and that yard, became an icon to mea great icon representing the origins of reggae music. The Wailers dem, Chinna Smith, the whole of the greats dem, Perry Scratch, this yard was the gateway to all the great foundation reggae artists.From this yard on York Ave, Kingston 11 I grew up, and began singing over songs of many various artists, reggae, dancehall, break dancing rap, souls, r&b. Then the circumstance of life in the ghetto began to take over. The rough, gang life, all dem ting deh. So I start singing my own songs. And people full joy it and have to start asking me, who is that I am singing. And by 19956, all the local youths started to cuss me for the intense vibes I was generating with my music. So they demanded that I find myself in a studio quick, because they said my place could obviously no longer be there on the street with them.So I start off on the street, riding my bicycle from studio to studio and meeting with a whole lot of reggae artists rising up and doing the same thing as me Al Pancho, Natty King, Spectacular, Lutan Fyah, and many others. I spent about five years at Jammings Studio, then moved to writing and performing with the live reggae group UZIMA as the fulfillment of my childhood dream to play live music with a full band. It was here I started to work lyrically with Gyptian.My sound is so radical that the world must hear it. But you see, I must go to the extreme hardness to get my thing the way it has to be. From Bob Marley and Peter Tosh gone, the world hasnt seen this before. This is a sound you are all crying for, I know.
My people, be still.
Haile Selassie I governs all things where reggae is concerned.
And I am one of His sons, you know.
Who is humble,
But never calm.
You know I must make you feel this storm.One of my main duties on my head is to get rid of racial discrimination,
Boom up poverty and sufferation,
Mash up greed, envy and mistrust.I want my people to be free. And the thing I plan to do this with is music. Music is my weapon. So I am sending out three singles before the album. The first, Better Than Yesterday, is going on good in Jamaica. Everybody can feel the people cry. My songs are always of the people.
