As a child growing up I listened to a lot of Calypso, Soca, Reggae Roots, Dancehall, and Country music. It doesnt differ much from what I listen to now, If anything thats what I rely on a lot to pull melodies and it helps a lot in my song structuring..
What made you first realize you wanted to pursue a career in music?
Music is in my blood.. My Father and all my Uncles have some musical talent, Hence why they started their own band back in the day. I discovered my love for music when I banged my first bucket in the yard. A bang turned into a hum, which turned into a melody. I then was placed in my school choir back in the 1st grade (my voice was always the loudest I was told). Then the rest was history. I played the trumpet and the Baritone in the school band but wasnt satisfied with that so song creation came into play..
Now let's move into today. Noticing that you just one an award from The All Star Music Awards as Best Performer. What can people except to see at your live performance?
"WHEN I'M ON STAGE YOU CAN SEE MY STRUGGLE, JOY, PAIN AND JUNGLE PERSONA"
'2CaNn'
When Im on stage people can expect to see my struggle, joy, pain, and jungle persona. Im a pretty energetic being so thats what you get when my name is called to go on stage. Expect a full fledged, no holds barred performance, drawing from my Island roots to the NyC streets. All in one package on stage.
What do you think your biggest break or opportunity has been thus far?
