“Mi feel blessed to have been a part in the movement. Mi witness some a di best of the best in dancehall captivate the crowd and fully engage them, and mi learn from dem how to feed off the audience’s energy.

Change is good, but I am an artiste who is versatile as well as humble,” he continued. Still he praised the artistes he calls his elders. (Jamaica Observer)
