I've always felt acting is a part of music.

In the dancehall world, we have crews and they battle. It's part of the entire culture surrounding dancehall.

When I lived in Jamaican I lived in Kingston, in Spanish Town, and when I go there the only place I want to go is Kingston because that's where the culture is the richest.

Every place has its own challenges. In Canada, we have blessings like grants, but we also have curses in the sense that when you start to do more urban classified music, we no longer have a single urban radio station left.

Jamaica is one of the most musically influential nations in the world. Throughout the entire globe, there are pockets that are constantly in touch with what goes on in the dancehall community, from Germany to Japan, to different parts of Africa like Ghana.

I'm definitely trying to incorporate a Caribbean and reggae element.

Jamaica is so musical, diverse and so extreme, from people singing in the streets to dancing.

I'm inspired by everything that I encounter, from the environment to people to other songs, movies and artists.

I'm a Canadian Jamaican. For me, I carry my Jamaican element into my music in my more recent releases.

[Kingston, Jamaica] is the city, it's not a beautiful beach. But at the same time when I go to Jamaica, that's the only place I want to go. It's where the culture is its richest. Or if you have the opportunity, you can go to the North Coast and go to Montego Bay. That's where you get the beauty of the miles of beaches and beautiful resorts.

Jamaica is an island that is filled with so much culture.

To me, the creative inspiration is endless and coming in all sorts of different directions at all times.
