We need to create time and correction we need to create time and talk about all that because we have very many Jamaican Artists that would love you know to get all uh all the dos and Don of what you did to be correction right now then we
Have still the Ugandan artist out there that would love to be International you know doing the music uh stuff like that um without further Ado i w to let you know open the stage for you say hi to the viewers say hi to everyone that is listening in now uh reintroduce yourself my
Brother yes yes so um I want to say thank you very much first of all to Uganda uh for this opportunity and thank you U Tinto for this opportunity as well greatly appreciate it um you know it’s it’s a great opportunity to be at this moment um having this conversation with
You and see how um Li Jamaica link to Canada back to Africa how can we connect the create that triangle and keep that triangle going and it’s um it’s a great moment as well in our history because this is um February which is Black History Month here in in in Canada and
In North America plus as well as his Bob Marley month as well Plus on top of that is regga month so February is always regga month so it’s um it’s a great moment for getting this opportunity with you and especially coming out of um trenchtown Jamaica which we call
Originally we call it let start over Jamaica in Jamaica we have a parish which normally they call it Province or your region we call Kingston and in that little region we have a little Community which we call trench Town yeah so trench town in trenchtown it’s a place um I was
Glad to be part of um grew up in I I was born in Spanish Town a b not a bad area gangster area where killing happened every day and then I I move over into trenchtown just after Bob Mary passed away and things so I was the young one including
My family members all musicians and singers so the greatest part of my journey is that I I stumbled into trenchtown where all all history of regga Music are originated and refined in other words they call trench the University of regga music yeah man where every street um there’s a sign where
They tell you all these artists are from so for for example um I can give you four streets First Street was Bob Marley and the WHAS Second Street you have another set of artists named Del Wis no Peter tush was on Peter tush is on Fourth Street but he he was combined
Into First Street B Mal and the Whalers which is bnny wher Peter touch and Bob Marley right and you have R Marley and Judy M and um I forgot her the other individual name but that First Street Second Street you have another said the artist delard Wilson and a few other
Artists Third Street you have myself correction you have big artist Ken boot you have a few of artists on Fourth Street again as you said you had um Peter TSH but the big name from Fourth Street was Alton Ellis a big reg singer so he’s from Fourth Street and Fifth
Street and he go on and on so it’s the only place that I can recall that I see signs everywhere I go tell you all these other artists are from there so I was glad to grew up in trench Stone okay talking about uh trench Stone you you’re
Reminding me of one of the danceall you know artists and you know he has bought he has a very big name in Uganda he’s called Vibes Cartel Gaza cartel yeah are you are you from Gaza are you from Gaza or you from there’s another place of MAF
What’s the other place of MAF go g side gide are are you are you from Gaza or you from G you know that’s a good question you know because um the Gaza is in Portmore and I and I have family members in Portmore some in Portmore the golly side
I never really spent time in on the golly Side Run where m is from but this but this the thing that I can laugh about is that I in trenchtown we have a goalie we have a go a goalie that runs that cuts um part of the community so
You have to cross over a little walk over Bridge that separates us on the next side of the of the community so we always sitting down on our on our goes so I guess I’m a go side um are you ready for the release of
You know the king of uh the president of Gaza cartel they have their own drama to work out and I have and I have my own drama you know so I’m I’m not going to feed myself into there what’s happening you know um I hope I I wish for the best
Um I wish for the best for each and everyone who is involved you know I’m not deep into it and I don’t want to go dive deep into it because again it’s too much trauma into that okay okay um how does it feel to be um first of all a
Black second of all h a Jamaican artist in Canada how does it feel feeli what does it take a good question um when I left from Jamaica and come here in Canada I I found out that um the music itself is the the platform is a different setup cuz in Jamaica you you
Have every radio station playing reg music like 90% of your radio station playing what you sing and then you come into a Canadian industry where they don’t play regular music they don’t play Dance all regularly they may play it um maybe one station plays it on a consistency while
The other radio stations you have to be a popular a popular popular like a Shaggy or as you say a Vibes Cartel or a whatever popping song Popular Song at that moment but other than that it’s really really hard but the greatest thing for me is that um I’ve I’ve did my
Homework and and I went on the streets because the streets is what create individually um so everyone who’s um learning this it’s not necessar and promoting your stuff online on online on online at the market don’t see you if if the community don’t see you performing and doing your stuff and
Doing and horing your craft and as well as embodying that Community you’re not going to be at the term you’re not going to be you’re not bus yeah you know I mean it’s a community that expand your your your your your your push into the
Market so what I did I went into the community I I started from scratch and I built myself up where um my first main song got nominated for the Canadian um top um music award in Canada they call it the Jun award j n o okay and there’s
A category in it for reg music same like the Grammys you know the Grammys have their reg categories so we have our own Grammys in Canada they call it the junor award so my first single got me nominated for the for their Juno award my second song the second year got me
Wana Juno so I’m also a Canadian Juno Award winner um and also my third song got me nominated as well and I’m currently signed with a label um I’m traveling I’ve been in Jamaica for the last four years and I just came back up um traveling performing um writing um
Recording I did quite a bit of work in Jamaica for the last four years so coming back up in Canada as you ask me how hard it is it’s really really hard for artists but the greatest part of um being in Canada is that they have the
Opportunity for you to um to enhance your craft okay like schools they have the equipments they give you all these equipments available for to earn your crafts so I’ve seen that in the whole whole Community itself that you know that music um it’s expanding it’s increasing but there’s more to do okay
Um um I’m glad you’re being nominated in all you know these Awards you being You’ve Won these Awards um does it really make you an international artist uh because you know as in Uganda when arst song all uh uh Persona gets nominated in international Awards he becomes you know an international artist
Are you uh typically an international Artist as as per say um good question I am I am branded as an international artist um again from Jamaica um I’ve been doing lots of work I’m in Canada do a lot of work in the United States I do a lot of work I’ve
Perform in Europe as well I travel in Europe as well uh performing on festivals so I’ve been International so I can brand myself as International my music is international as well I’m fully signed to a label as well um the only difference is having the song popular or
Getting it into Airwaves like yourself getting into various other promotional packages um am I do I do I think I’m I’m a great artist I I’m still learning every day I learn but I’m developing and I’ve been in the business for quite some times even though I look so young I’ve
Been in the business quite some time um so I’ve learned all these little techniques and I deliver performing when I perform I deliver I execute properly okay let’s um let’s talk about your other personal life you know what do you do for a living but from music I don’t I don’t
I don’t know if I’m even password I’m sorry I’m sorry to say that’s no that’s one thing I’ve one thing I’ve learned in music industry here in Canada especially being that hard is that you need something to fall back on have to because until you become
Popular and you can travel and one song or your album will expand you do need some form of income to keep you going yeah so I I went back to University and I got two degrees one in business and one in sociology and um when I got that um I
Started to work as a salesperson in the financial World Financial industri so I’m I’m good at sales marketing products okay so the greatest part of that is that that’s I guess that’s why I’m always consistent every year because utilizing that sales that same sales techniques that I’m utilizing to make
Other corporations benefit how can I make myself and my songs being my songs are the product how can I get my product to the airwaves and get consistency and all these profitability okay um talking talking about you and your music you under a label now um does that really
Mean you don’t have any challenges you know you always have challenges you will always have challenges especially signing on a label the challenges come bigger and and and and and um and difficult to to bigger and difficult to actually analyze and to some extent if I can say that how
How because again when you sign to a label because prior to signing to a label you’re always doing your thing by yourself and then when you come into a label a label can sign you in various ways one a label can put you under exclusive rights where you any any
Transaction shows or producing from production into from another producer you have to go through the label and the problem with that is if your friends or other people local D local producers want to really get you on a track or want to get you on a show but it’s
Cheaper they don’t have the big money it’s hard for them to come to your label cuz your label have a standard cost that fits everybody in that bucket if you don’t have that money if you don’t have those paperworks it’s you can’t really do anything while um so that’s exclusive
While you have some other you know signing agreements but again the exclusive one is one of the hardest one and it can make or break you cuz you your your career is now representing from that label if that label want to do anything for you they will do it if not
They can shelf your your music and keep you unknown okay um we have very many Jamaican Artists apparently trying to shift the trend from Europe from Jamaica uh to Africa why the rush now is it the pasal and scrum of Africa uh 2024 all the new century you know what what is in
Africa that is making people you know come to Africa um good question as well because again from for me um Africa is a motherland we call it from Jamaica motherland in the rasaan rasaan culture that we grew up in motherland Mama Africa so I have a lots of songs that is
About to release talking about going back to Africa too so we always as a black artists always promote going back to Africa or motherland cuz that’s where we came from so but back in the days that was fairy tale because one we never had our generate my grandfather’s grandfather generation never had the
Means to come to go back to Africa yeah so now in this new era New Generation we our generation is wiser so we’re go we have the means now there’s flights there’s direct flights back to Africa and it’s little we have we can save and now we can go
And now due to the fact of networking and communication between you and I you’re in Uganda and I’m in Canada but from Jamaica but it it shows you now we can communicate we can connect to Africa back and it’s easier now to make the connection so now yeah we want to come
Back to Africa we want to come back to Africa we want to migration migration migration migration yes I I want to perform I want to come Africa to perform I want to tour Africa and I want to live in Africa I’d love to come come to
Africa to live okay and and help set up and create and help utilize what I’ve learned all these years to help the new generation of musicians and singers okay uh talk still talking about Africa who is that you know artist to maybe in Uganda all East Africa all Africa at
Large that you know is standing out you love maybe to do a collab oration all his music is you know uh good for your listening pleasure good question I’m not going to sit um tell you lies and everything and try hype up someone that I’ve never really honestly um i’ I’ve skimmed
Through a lot of um African artists and the bua boys and all these guys coming up and the other individuals but for me the names I’m not really comfortable with names so I can’t tell you a name that yeah I know that artist that a great artist I want to work with I’d
Love to work with some top name um African artists because I I find your Market is available and it’s ready um your mark back in Jamaica when we just start learning Dance all when it’s when you have like um artists like when buj Banton for example when buj Banton just
Just came out with big it up ride Mur and and dance was so so nice so so nice when the vi that’s what I see in Africa right now that that at a your point in time right now okay so it’s perfect timing okay um let’s talk about you and your
Music now um you say you talked about a new um you talked about a new album coming out soon or some some some songs we’re gonna talk about it in a meeting but before we go there I want you to add this point together where do you get the
Inspiration of you know doing the kind of music you’re doing right now plus you know you talk about the the new album you you’re releasing yeah well for me the inspiration comes from my day-to-day occurrences and the the hardship that’s happening in my community and again my my job is not to
Create hype songs and try to get something quickly this is more differently this is coming from the ghetto of trench toone where gunshot up kill people every day and you can’t cross over one street because if you cross over one street you’re a dead man and police don’t there’s no police who
Who’s patrolling is soldiers patrolling the place so there’s hardships there’s times when my family don’t have money I’m begging on the streets in Jamaica in in markets so there’s hardship there’s times when people killing off your family members in front of you you can’t do nothing or say
Nothing there’s hardship in even in Canada here where there’s no home there’s to many homeless people now on the streets there’s a lot of Africans so all of a sudden there’s infus of Africans here and there’s Infuse of um the other folks who are having issues
All over the world all these white um dominant cultures who have problems all over Israelites all of them who have issues but when I’m coming Canada they’re all they’re all back into a home they’re taken care of but I’m seeing so many Africans who are migrated recently days and they’re on the
Streets it’s like it’s the system is is so separ separated where so there’s lots to talk about you know it’s it’s not it’s not changed Life Is Life in Canada Life all over the world doesn’t change it’s just a system a systematic setup but it’s hard when you know that other countries
Who are facing hardship can come in Canada and instantly they get places to stay but when my African Brothers come in it’s like it’s like a community base it’s like Community alone have to take care of these these immigrants while government has has so much resources that they can actually
Help out the individuals who comes in so that’s hard for me still so there’s many many more things to talk about lots and lots and lots and lots more things to talk about so I get my inspiration cor lifestyle correction before you go there um um you talked about the emotional speech
Of you know African suffering in Canada African suffering in Jamaica African suffering in in Africa does that really mean you advising people uh to stay where they are they don’t need to you know move to maybe the us or Canada because you know things are not Rosy
Everywhere I 100% agree um you know when when I left Jamaica came to Canada I always dream about going back to going back to Jamaica to live and create a big industry that I can help my community and help expand Jamaica me going back to Jamaica for spending four years recently remind
Myself that I definitely I have to go back to Jamaica and create something a legacy as well helping out the community set up some form of youth programs or some feeding programs or some musical prog program that I can help the community expand so for me telling individual I can’t really stop anyone
From migrating because migration is is a good thing but also a bad thing because like Jamaica I don’t know about Africa but like Jamaica um my great grandfather eror come straight up to my father eror there was brain drain that word brain drain where all the elites all the knowledge
Folks who can help the community get quick visas because of that government overly wants their wants their resource want take them away so there was so much of a brain drain so you find out said the the people in at that time don’t have much knowledge on the evolution to take it to
The next level now our generation like yourself here we are on a radio station before they never wanted to give us this opportunity and here we are now with this opportunity right that’s what I’m saying so that means there’s a lot of there’s there’s a lot of brain drain in Africa
The wise people you know are being taken the doctors the nurses you know and communities you know uh to to die yep standard so now in this era now that conversation this conversation is good to have because again folks who have the knowledgeable ideas they can stay
Home and work now we can communicate with other folks networking and so therefore even if you need other products other services you can Network go straight to Instagram or whatever connect with whoever you need to connect with instantly and try get that connection there to make expand your business expand yourself locally because
Again I I’ve realized now a lot of folks like yourself being in Africa and Jamaica folks in Canada when I hear that you’re from Uganda I I I’m gladly want to do this interview to one expand my networking and as well to expand your networking as
Well yeah so but you don’t have to come to Canada to this interview see so New Era you know you don’t have to go to come to Canada come all over the world to expand your knowledge and your ability it’s just trying to find a a a
The right space in your local area and connect with who need to be connected and expand yourself and your knowledge and your business okay let’s talk about the inspiration where you get the inspiration for your music the kind of music you do well again love love love my love
Music a lot of um a lot of my girlfriend my ex-girlfriends always said to me when you writing a song about me when you writing a song about me when you’re writing a song about me every one of them every one of my girl ex-girlfriends
Wanted me to write a song about them but writing a song is more on again what I see what’s happening around me and things that touches me as well cuz you get you know it’s not an easy life that we all live in it’s some really
Complicated and every day we go we have ups and down so I try my best to um write songs that will connect to everyone and take you into into an emotion it could probably a Feelgood emotion and make sure that you’re happy or something to take you back into
Consideration in in inner yourself and try understanding yourself and understanding what’s happening around and how we can do better okay um just in case there’s someone that is you know watching this uh interview um where uh can they get hold of you what are your socials um management numbers you know
