His first influences were Papa San, then Bounty Killer, Elephant Man and Vybz Kartel.
"Hard work overcomes all difficulties. Put God first and jus' put out good music."
I got started in music at a tender age, it was from primary school but never took it serious until 2000 when I met Elephant man. I was introduced to him by a producer who was doing a production at the time and wanted me to write the song for him. After writing that song we become friends so I started going to the studio more often, I also did a song with him [Mentally ill] but I actually spent most of time writing for him.
I got my musical exposure touring with Ele; at first I start traveling to the caribbean because of course i didn't have a work permit, but that didn't take long for me to get so I travelled to the United States where I made an appearance on 106 and Park and also Bet Awards where I met a lot of intresting people like Janet Jackson, Pharell, Missy Elliot and the list goes on. I also went to Canada and Japan where I went on the Mtv awards. During this time I was also doing a few collaborations with Tornado, another local artist, songs included Soldering and Modella.
After five years I decided that I wanted to go on my own so I can actually persue my career. I stop travelling with Elephant man and decided to do my own thing. I started working on my own projects such as Meditation and Journeys.
At present I am working with Daseca, a production trio that is deeply interested in my music and started to produce a couple of exclusive tracks for me. I recently shot a video for my new single "What I'm gonna do" which was also directed by Julia Braham. Keep an eye out for Bugle.
Blessed love,
BUGLE
Can't Run from Yourself
Bugle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't got no road caw the whole a them rough
I feel like i could fly
Ain't got no wings so mi cant even try
Cant run away from my self
Can run away from my self
Some way, some how me haffi solve them
Have to face the problems
God know man a suffer like dog without no warning
Life no easy like Sunday morning
Hurricane mussi blow in a my fridge
Bare water, nothing bout this no charming
Father God mi no know what a gwaan
Caw mi have a baby weh just born
Is not like fi this mi did plan
But mi just don't believe in a abortion
Cant run away from my self
Can run away from my self
Got to face my problems
Some way, some how me haffi solve them
Have to face the problems
God know man a suffer like dog without no warning
Life no easy like Sunday morning
Hurricane mussi blow in a my fridge
Bare water, nothing bout this no charming
Father God mi no know what a gwaan
Caw mi have a baby weh just born
Is not like fi this mi did plan
But mi just don't believe in a abortion
Me face my problems like two soldier a war
Decide mi mind mi and it naw spar
No more rollings when yo si mi stay far
Cause a you a stop mi from own house and car
Stop follow mi up, stop stress mi

Ain't got no wings so mi cant even try
Cant run away from my self
Can run away from my self
Got to face my problems

Father God mi no know what a gwaan
Caw mi have a baby weh just born
Is not like fi this mi did plan

Bugle's song Can't Run from Yourself is an expression of the hardships and struggles individuals face in life, from personal problems to financial stress, to the societal norms and expectations placed on them. The lyrics evoke a sense of helplessness, as the singer feels at times like running away, but acknowledges that external factors prevent them from doing so. The lack of control over their circumstances is emphasized through the repeated juxtaposition of wanting to fly, but having no wings to do so, and feeling like they could run, but having no clear path ahead.
The song's chorus, "Can't run away from myself, gotta face my problems," emphasizes the theme of self-accountability and the need to confront one's issues. This is reinforced throughout the song, with references to facing problems head-on and finding a way to solve them. The lyrics also allude to the struggles of parenthood and the singer's feelings towards abortion, suggesting a level of personal moral conflict.
Overall, Bugle delivers an introspective and reflective message on the complexities of life, the challenges individuals face, and the importance of perseverance.
