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,

But mi waan go hard
You waan pretty car
Me waan yard
Just waann shop, but a you a go lose
Me waan furniture
You waan shoes
Baby mi would a deh wid yo
But guess wa it no wort it
Because mi know seh it wouldn't help mi
You waan hype up me lay back
You waan loud up me don't play that
Gyal mi would a deh wid yo
But guess wa it no wort it
Because mi know seh it wouldn't help mi
You waan be star, but me want observer
Me waan soul food, you waan burger
(1)
No make sense wi try mi no comfortable
And to how mi si things wi no compatible
This unu work out cause mi select him
And we have different objective
Wi, wi destine fi strive
But you wi slow mi drive
You no have no adrenaline
A me yo fi avoid
You might be educated but you no wise
Your eyes on the hype
But mine on the prize
(Repeat )
(2)
You waan gain and nothing you never try
Every year all you do a wait paw ATI
You think you a plane but babes you no fly
Mi cyaa believe how yo eye dem dry
That's why yo end up wid a bag a man a wine yo
Cause you a wait pon dem fi mine yo
Try no lost case a no mi a go find yo
Swear mi no give a dam if gold line yo
(Repeat 2x)
In this song, Bugle talks about being in a relationship with someone who has a different mindset and goals than he does. He begins by pointing out their different wants and desires. While she wants an easy life with a pretty car and shoes, he wants a hardworking life with furniture and a yard. He then acknowledges that he would consider a relationship with her, but he knows it's not worth it because they are not compatible. She wants to be the center of attention and be hyped up, while he wants to observe and focus on the prize. He also points out that she's not putting in any effort to improve her life and is instead waiting for others to take care of her.
The chorus highlights the main message of the song - that they are not compatible and it's not worth trying to make it work. Bugle repeats that they have different objectives and destinies and trying to force the relationship will only slow him down and hinder his progress.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the importance of being with someone with shared values and goals, and not settling for someone who will not add value to your life.
