“Being a young artist, you know that you're not the first and there are a lot of people who have been there before you to basically look up to - people who have been setting examples forever.”
“I love reggae because of its messages. Bob Marley sings so many positive, impactful songs, he raises people's consciousness. Artists like Chronixx, Protoje and Jesse Royal can teach you important things that you may not know about otherwise.”
“It's important that my music makes a positive impact on my country, the reggae genre and the world.”
“Life is a gift. We say that so loosely and randomly, but since it's a gift once you're alive, you already have the power to do whatever.”
“Jamaicans on a whole, we like vibes.”
“I think we are very musical people, so we take pride in singing hymns very well, and embracing learning different instruments and learning music as a science. I think that had a huge impact on my musical career.”
“I think it is refreshing for a lot of people to see a woman stepping up and showing that it's possible to do things that are typically male-dominated.”
“I miss the weather when I'm not in Jamaica. I hate it when it's cold.”
“Typically, when I am creating individual songs, I like to listen to beats, feel the vibe and create off of that. I write lyrics and melodies that compliment the track.”
“I have had moments of anxiety, so to speak. Just starting my music career and not knowing what to do next. Or even before music, wanting to finish school and not being able to realize that dream at the time I wanted to and really deeply wondering about what my next step would be, what my family would think.”
“I want to impact the world.”
“I never went in on oldies music, but I have heard many of those old records, especially courtesy of my mom, I don't know all the names, but I know the songs and they were so impactful on me, it came out in how I express myself.”
“Growing up in Jamaica, we have access to a lot less. Not that we're, like, under a rock, but when it comes to the latest fashion trends, we're more like, 'What works?'”
“I try to stay focused by remaining connected to my roots.”
“I believe that reggae music has always been a source of healing.”
