I made a choice a while ago that I dont do this for fame or money really its about people feeling the energy and power of this sound..because really it has to be about the music and the vibe and the message. Special Thanks to my Homie Capelton (Dancehall Legend) and The Marley Gongs who have felt my sound and inspired..that helped me get where I am now...the craziest thing is the response from all the folkz that have purchased my CD saying how its now their favorite CD and its constatly in there CD player......thats blessed to hear everytime..much luv to all ya'll..
