But it’s fine because when I was young I spent most of my teenage life at the pool, so on weekends we would all look forward to going out and having, like, 17 beers! Music is a reflection of life, but it's also entertainment and people want to forget their problems. It’s just people pay more attention to the party songs. Those songs exist, and they're out there. I have a song called "Give Thanks For Life," which is out in Jamaica right now. If you wanna make a mark, stay to that niche!’ I tried to write a couple songs and it just blew the fuck up. Those stories were my heart, but my first producer at the time said, ‘Yo dude, girls like you. A lot of times people would look at me like, What the fuck you know about this shit? You don't know nothing about it 'cause you're from uptown. A couple of the songs I wrote for my demo tape were talking about the ghetto story I was drawing comparisons between uptown, where I’m from, and downtown. I was into Tony Rebel, Capleton hadn’t even come out. I was still in college at the time my day would consistent of waking up early for swim training, because I swam for Jamaica and did water polo as well, finishing all of that by 9 at night, and then going to studios.Ī lot of my first songs were really conscious music. And when I wrote my first song, I thought, Wow, how am I gonna keep this up? It took, like, two weeks in terms of just procrastinating and wanting to finish it the right way and be something that people liked. I really, really liked Super Cat's style and Shabba Ranks, of course, so I didn't think I was gonna be the next thing. I convinced my mom to buy me a little keyboard and I started to make riddims, and then when I was about 17 or 18 I started to write lyrics for these riddims. You know, I thought I was going to be a producer when I was 15-years-old.
