WE ACTUALLY ARE WRITING TO INSPIRE THESE YOUNG TALENTS. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR INSPIRATION
TO THEM. WHAT WOULD U TELL THEM? HOW WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO EXPAND THEMSELVES?
Embrace the purpose, when you embrace the purpose you embrace humanity. It is like you
know the hate can’t make people happy. The first thing is, you are from the Caribbean, you have
to do your best, you want to have the highest standards. Start thinking about the Jacksons, the
Madonnas, the Bob Marleys and the Frank Sinatras… feed from the right example. And then come
with your genuine purpose to make everybody happy because this is what I want to tell these
youths that what u put in is what you gonna get out. So for us, we are from the small islands, we
are from what they call ‘the third world’ which means we have three times the work to do so be
prepared to work hard but also know that your job is destined to do something for humanity. You
have to know that you got to have integrity, discipline and dedication. When I was small I realized
that soca music wasn’t famous amongst my peers and amongst young people cause they liked
hip hop, they liked r’n’b, dancehall but they did not like soca. So I looked at it and it wasn’t young
enough, exciting enough and I started to mix it and doing songs with Bennie Man, Shaggy and
bring some reggae there, work with Doggy Fresh, and Pitbull and Lil Jon and now we have soca
music merging and working with people like Diplo, Major Lazer, worldwide. It is a good look. If the
young generation, young musicians and artists see the work that was put it and see the opportunity
that is right now. The timing is right once you do the work.
