His greatest inspirations come from drummer Sly Dunbar, Reggae great Dennis Brown, the talented American artist Stevie Wonder, and Tony D'Costa. During this period he began to sing with Sound Systems such as King Jammy$, Stereo Mar and Stereo One. This encouraged him to continue singing and songwriting...

At the peak of a most promising career, 1989 proved to be a very trying year for this artist with two mishaps nearly taking his life both times. It has taken him many years to fully recover from what most would have never, but not to be discouraged he once more has returned to his first love which is music... ..Here is an artist with a one of a kind voice, who must be given the chance to prove that singing and songwriting is his destiny, not only with Reggae, but in the R&B and Soul market as well.
