From my earliest years, my biggest dream was to become successful in the music industry. I started my journey in a choir back in Jamaica, and since then, there hasn\u2019t been a day where music hasn\u2019t been a part of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mogulmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20220624-WA0005.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10020 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mogulmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20220624-WA0005-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"752\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mogulmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20220624-WA0005-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mogulmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20220624-WA0005-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mogulmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20220624-WA0005-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mogulmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20220624-WA0005-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mogulmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20220624-WA0005-675x450.jpg 675w, https:\/\/mogulmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20220624-WA0005-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/mogulmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20220624-WA0005.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Are there any secrets to your creative process?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">My biggest help when making music is my family and friends. Even just a smile or a few words of encouragement from them, some help with song ideas or listening to rhythms with them is all I need to stay determined to try my best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Can you tell us about your latest musical projects?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lately, I\u2019ve been trying to become more versatile in my music, attracting different crowds and showing my talent isn\u2019t for one thing but many.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Growing up, who were your idols in the entertainment industry?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Lady Saw, Beyonce, Beanie man, Marcia Griffiths, Spice, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"LADY DANGER  - FREAKY   MY MOUTH PART 2 (official video)4K\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uILJa8IKEP4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Was there a defining moment when you knew you wanted to be an artist?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When I sang happy birthday for Mikey Blacks at his birthday party and excited the crowd, I thought that this was what I wanted to do \u2013 make music and promote a fun energy to everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How would you describe the dancehall scene in the UK?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I think that people in dancehall need to focus more on talent instead of favouritism.

Also, using marketing strategies to help promote your brand in the musical industry. Be ahead of your game, and don\u2019t try to be everything to everybody. You are yourself, and you should take pride in it.
