Of all music, the cultural and conscious Reggae music has always held a permanant place in the heart of this man."Reggae has a special place in my soul. It does it all. Makes you sing, laugh, cry , dance. All to a pulsating sound that surrounds you with energy. My first time in a Studio was in 1992 when I recorded..." Bad boys (Move in Silence)" on Fresh Kid Ice's album"Chinaman" on Luke records. ( Fresh Kid Ice is from 2Live Crew) My music is a declaration of my faith as well as a weapon against Injustice and the constant struggle of Good over Evil. My songs are about everyday life... a voice for the people ." I keep it Positive and still have some fun.FAMILYMAN is my first release. It is a collection of songs that all have a positive vibe. Many have messages as well.It is a 100% independent release, financed by the artist."
