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,

The song "Journeys" by Bugle is a motivational track that encourages perseverance and determination in the face of obstacles. The singer acknowledges that life is not easy, but argues that one can overcome any challenge with faith, hard work, and a positive mindset. Throughout the song, Bugle uses several metaphors to convey this message, including the idea that the devil is always lurking around, and Babylon (a term often used in reggae music to refer to oppressive powers) is always trying to plant something negative in one's life. However, the singer believes that one can rise above these obstacles by focusing on their own journey and ignoring the distractions around them.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that some people give up when they encounter obstacles, but Bugle is not one of them. He sings, "Some people stop by obstacles, my journey continues," suggesting that he is committed to staying on his path no matter what. He also suggests that one's mindset is crucial when it comes to overcoming obstacles. If you allow negative thoughts and influences to take over, you will ultimately fail. However, if you stay focused on achieving your goals and remain positive in the face of adversity, you can succeed.
In the second verse, Bugle emphasizes the importance of hard work and determination. He argues that success is not just handed to you; you have to work for it. However, he also suggests that your mindset is equally important. You cannot succeed if you constantly doubt yourself or envy others. Instead, you need to be confident in your abilities and focus on your own journey.
Overall, "Journeys" is a powerful song that encourages listeners to stay focused on their goals and persevere in the face of obstacles. It is a reminder that success is not easy, but it is possible if you have faith in yourself and work hard.

Life is a difficult journey but you shouldn't let obstacles stop you from achieving your goals.

While some people let obstacles stop them, I will continue on my journey despite the devil haunting me and Babylon trying to plant negativity in my life.
Mi whole up mi head mi swollow mi pride and decide seh mi na go fail.

Waan fi mek mi over evil righetousness have to prevail
I hold my head up high and refuse to fail, even if it means delivering mail on a bicycle. I thank God for helping me find a job that doesn't require me to rob and end up in jail. I strive to conquer evil and let righteousness prevail.

Good things come in small packages, but some people want everything at once. You cannot hide from Jah, so forget your disguise. Your rewards come according to Jah's word. So if you're going to be a rebel, make sure you have a cause.
Mi overcome all difficulties with hard work a dat mi time
Right now mi a go use back one a jimmy cliff lines
Cause as sure as the sun shine I'm a gonna get wats mine
I'm a never gonna get left behind
I overcome all difficulties through hard work because it's my time to shine. I take inspiration from Jimmy Cliff and know that as surely as the sun will shine, I will get what's rightfully mine. I will never be left behind.

Why you want envy a man just tru him have him wealth
You know gotta do what you cyaan well you got the hell
Just rememba seh jah jah help who try to help dem selves
If you think negatively about others, it will only bring you down. Don't be envious of someone just because they have wealth. You have to do what you can and not worry about the rest. Remember that Jah helps those who try to help themselves.
Work fi what you want
Never say you can't and stop move slant
Work fi what you need
Tek di lead hungry mouth they haffi feed
Work for what you want and never say you can't. Keep pushing forward. Work for what you need and take the lead to feed the hungry mouths in your life.
