3. Who influenced you? And what is your motivation?

There are a few local and international artistes whom I look up to, I have taken so many pages out of their books that by now their books must be empty, be it male or female, these are they that motivates me and gives me renewed strength everyday to keep it uncomplicated and authentic, some are still alive while some are no longer with us, they are true legends such as Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Betty Wright, Cynthia Schloss, Pam Hall, Teddy Pendergrass, Stevie Wonder, Ernie Smith, Michael Jackson, Al Green, Whitney Houston, and Erica Badu who reminds me to be myself and that that there is nothing wrong with being unique.

4. What do you see as the future of reggae and music in general?

I have to remind myself daily that our generation is changing with the time, so in general there will be a big difference in almost everything we see and hear, and improvement/development is good for any growing nation or society, the fact that we now have better education infrastructure than yesteryears, is a plus because our young ones will be so much more educated an equipped that I would want to hope that these special effort will make a significant difference in what will become of the new age reggae/music. This will bring notable change even to a level where grammatically the entire world will be able understand and appreciate reggae/music a lot more.

5. Playing or recording what do you prefer?

As a musician your profession require all senses, I have to be very open minded and willing to work the industry to its fullest and try not to limit myself to any given task so whether it be playing or recording I would want to take so much pride in perfecting it so much that you almost can’t even tell which I am better at. However the stage is where I come alive, that’s where I can truly get the attention of my audience there I am in control so the fact that I can dominate the stage, I will only accompany myself at home with the playing of my piano and my guitar and leave the real sound to a group of professional talented musician both locally and internationally to bring out the finest sound in my music some of which are musicians like Desi Jones (Drummer/Producer/Arranger), Rohan Reid (Bass and Guitar), Christopher McDonald (Keyboards), Michael Kenndy (Bass), Dale Brown (Bass), Dean Fraser (Saxophone), Denver Smith (Percussions), Alex Martin-Blamkin (Producer/keyboards), Keith Francis (Bass) Wayne Armond (Guitar) Othneil Lewis (keyboards). Along with the most wonderful Engineer any singer could want to work with Marvin “eeem” Jackson I thank them so much for making my fourteen track album “Where Birds Can’t Fly” a great success. Thanks guys for the big boost of confidence.
