Where have you performed (around the
world)?
I have performed across Europe, America and
The Caribbean. Some immediate examples are
London, France, Virginia, Atlanta, New York,
St. Vincent, Jamaica, to name a few.
Where are you based?
I am based between London and Barbados. My
bookings are seasonal and depend on where the
majority of my work is at any given time.
What is the response like to your performances?
The first response is, ‘How does a person so
tiny have such a big voice!’ People always
comment on the high energy that comes from
the stage. Once someone described it as RAGING ENERGY!
What was the largest crowd you performed
in front of?
The Nottingham Caribbean Carnival in Nottingham, UK, The O2 Islington, UK, The O2
Shepherd’s Bush, UK and Reggae on the Hill
(Barbados) are some of the biggest crowds I’ve
performed for thus far. The biggest being
15,000+ people.
How is it performing outside of Barbados
and how does it compare to performing in
Barbados?
In my opinion, there is no difference, geographically; every crowd wants to be entertained at the highest level. I’ve performed in a
range of settings from intimate affairs to huge
arenas, enough to know that the mood of the
audience inspires the performance. It’s best to
have some knowledge about the nature of the
event and the demographic, so that you can tailor your act to ensure a great performance. A
younger crowd generally craves a wildly, energetic set and an older crowd tends to appreciate
a quieter set; that is dependent on musical style.
I’ve had trouble in the beginning of my career
trying to find the natural energy wherever I was
performing so I currently make an effort to go
into the crowd and talk to the audience before
any performance; this helps me determine the
mood at the event so that I can deliver the best
performance that I can.
