With natural talent and a lot of training, singer I-Octane is taking his voice to higher heights.

Being trained by Jamaica's leading voice trainer Georgia Schliefer for the last couple of years, he said the experience has been a great one.

He said, "yeah, it's definitely helpful. When I first started singing I was more aggressive, like in Stab Vampire, but now you can hear the difference in songs like Lose A Friend which has a softer melody."

In addition to doing voice training, the artiste is also learning to play the keyboard and would like to learn how to play the guitar.

And as for his voice, I-Octane says it is without a doubt a distinctive one.

"My voice is very unique, people go crazy when dem hear mi sing. Dem can identify me and know is I-Octane, but dem sey mi also remind dem of people like Sizzla and Lutan Fyah," he said.
