Quote

I've been in Africa, America, moving around a lot. It's helped me to open up my mind. I was born in Jamaica I've lived all my life there and got all I could from Jamaica. But I needed to be somewhere else to grow.

Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul it's lacking substance, and it's difficult to find good stuff. There are too many corporate interests. It's not about the actual music because it's about the corporation, and music just becomes part of a package.

People are loving me because they don't even know me. You're Bob's son. We love you. So I think that's a good thing for a father to leave so much that people are loving their children. I'm proud of that.
