Define your genre in five words or less: Reggae/dancehall/alternative.
What do you hate about the music industry? Too many poorly produced records and too many people without any real musical skills that are trying to be artists. I think the industry should be reserved for persons with real talent, I know that I may be stepping on a few toes by saying this but whoever cries out is a no talent.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them? I’ve had many releases, namely Fallen Soldiers, True Friends I Love My Life, Love A Come Down, among many others. They’re available on iTunes and many other online stores.
Why should everyone come and see your band? Versatile music for all people, great fun music that they could all dance to and have a good time plus music that addresses social issues and the harsh realities of life.
What makes you happiest about what you’re doing? Being able to please my audience and make music that inspire people in one way or another.
What’s your favourite song, and why? I would have to say I Love My Life because it’s a personal song that I wrote and then decided to share it with the world. It eventually got over 25 million views on YouTube in the first year and helped me to sell out stadiums in Africa and several venues in over 60 cities worldwide. I’ve been to most of these venues before with previous hits but the responses intensified after this song and it made me feel real good that the world could relate that well to how I felt.
Where would you like to be in five years? In the mainstream of course! Australian pop charts, etc.
What advice would you give to bands that are new on the scene? Don’t be delusional, check to make sure that you have real talent, practice hard and promote your talent.
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be? Maroon Five.
When are you playing live? Saturday September 7 at The Espy.
