Born and raised in jamaica W.I My hometown is Trelawny where i attened Albert Town High. I am now living in NYC where i started my music career. How i started was from writing peoms, short stories, and songs for a few friends. Then i started going to the studio where i did a hook on a song, that's how i realized my talent as a song writer/Artist. Well i always loved music from i was a kid growing up listening to Shabba Ranks, Berres Hammand, and a few others. Most of my inspirations came from the people around me, and my love for music but my influence came from recording Artist like Laden Konshens, And the Lyrically talented BUGLE. So with hard work and dedication am hoping to get my time to shine. Fav. Quote "PROGRESS MI SEH" God Bless!!! Bulzye TO DI WORLD.
