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,

Parents fi party wid sense
How you fi buy champagne
When the money weh you have fi pay rent
Some man a hype bout dem turn up street
And the youth don't have a good shoes pon feat
Some a dem a pose up in a rental
A you floss the most
Wear the most name brand
Yo rolex band, mi would a wear one
But a the wrong thing you focus pon
You a floss wid van

No mi naw tell you, you nuh fi have fun
But the youth important more than rum
You just waan floss meck everybody see
Before you full a prescription you buy Hennessy
Naw seh you nuh fi party
Parents fi party wid sense
How you fi buy champagne
When the money weh you have fi pay rent
Some man a hype bout dem turn up street
And the youth don't have a good shoes pon feat
Some a dem a pose up in a rental
And don't concern bout dem youth medical
Some man a look a hype

And in a every conversation a you a the loudest

Bugle's song "Priority" is a call for people to prioritize their responsibilities and obligations over their desire to have a good time. The lyrics criticize those who spend money on expensive items like champagne and designer clothing, while neglecting to pay their rent or provide for their children's medical needs. The song urges parents to party with a sense of responsibility, instead of indulging in luxury at the expense of their obligations.
The opening lines of the song state "Naw seh you nuh fi party / Parents fi party wid sense" which translates to "I'm not saying you shouldn't party / But parents should party responsibly." Bugle acknowledges the need for people to enjoy life, but encourages them to do so without neglecting their responsibilities. The song goes on to criticize people who prioritize their appearance over their obligations, such as those who wear expensive name-brand clothing and accessories, but fail to provide for their families or pay their bills. The lyrics also address the issue of people renting luxury vehicles to create the illusion of wealth, while neglecting their children's medical needs.
"Priority" highlights the importance of taking care of one's responsibilities before indulging in extracurricular activities. Ultimately, the song is a reminder to prioritize obligations and ensure that children are taken care of first, before indulging in luxuries.
