I’ve always been encouraged by my Uncles Trinidad Rio and Bunny B to take part in the art form of Calypso. My love for music and making music has a wider scope however as I’ve dabbled in Rap, Hip hop, Rock, Dance, Jazz, Funk etc. My previous experience as a DJ has broaden my appreciation for all the different genres of music that I try to incorporate in the music I create.
My mom has always been a musical inspiration in my life as she is known to always be singing, playing the harmonica and guitar and actually educating me about the Greats of her time like Ella Fitzgerald, Connie Francis, Diana Ross, Rita Coolidge etc. My dad was known for playing records of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff and mainly Reggae, Calypso and Soca, even though there was no formal discussion of the genres and the artistes like that of my mom, I came to realize that lyrical content and singing against oppression was more his cup of tea.
In a nutshell I would say that my music is social commentary on serious topics plastered with humour to make it palatable for all to digest.
