How did you get started in the business?

I was schoolmates with Spragga Benz's nephew, and when I moved on to fifth form he started to pursue his musical career. I decided that I wanted to pursue my career.

We were at a show and Spragga did one of my songs, Big Up All The Shotta Dem, which got a good response. He told me that I should try to get my material out, so between lower and upper six I started trying it out. It was that summer I really started.

What has been your most memorable moment in the business yet?

One moment that stood out is performing at a Fully Loaded some years ago. At that time it was the biggest audience I had ever been before and it was the first time people would be actually seeing me. Spragga called me out and I came out with To The World on the 'Rice and Peas' rhythm and everybody, all the sand pon the beach, jump up.

What have you been up to lately?

I'm back in the studio doing recordings for an album that we're working on. It's not named as yet so we encourage fans to suggest names on the Facebook page. I was taking a backseat because I didn't want to join the hip-hop thing that the dancehall was going through. Starting this year, I've been on Big Ship's Pepper rhythm, giving it to them with Nothing At All.

Do you look up to any specific artiste and why?

Growing up, Professor Nuts because of that rhyming style, and how he communicated through song, it was like on the corner same way and he still maintained the comedic side. You also have people like Spragga, Shabba, Bounty and Beenie. Basically anyone who has contributed to the growth of the music.

Are you happy with the way things are going for your musical career right now?

Yes. Over the years I was taking a different approach to my work and was hoping for things to fall into place, but I'm more proactive now. What I'm most comfortable with is my competence in all the faculties. Whether it be recordings, writing or performing. You learn to count your blessings and wherever there is room for improvement I will be doing that.

Do you have any advice for young artistes coming up?

Love the music and think about the industry before yourself because whatever happens in the industry will affect you. Be aware of your responsibility as a human being and as an artiste. Don't just come to drag your foot through the thing and take what you can get. You have to also respect those who came before you and try to set it for those to come.
