"Growing up in Falmouth, Jamaica, the rhythm of the rich Caribbean sounds deeply influenced my soul. From a young choir member to a budding musician, I found my voice by blending the vibrant sounds of my roots with an uplifting message honoring my Creator. From the sunny vibes of Jamaica to the creative melting pot of Canada, my musical journey has been a rollercoaster ride! Countless struggles, unwavering devotion, and an enduring dream have brought me to this moment. Along the way, I've encountered numerous friends and supporters who kept me motivated. The road to success is often winding, filled with long days and even longer nights. Yet, through every twist and turn, I've learned invaluable lessons - the power of patience, the importance of waiting on God's timing, and the beauty of collaborating with incredible talent. Through thick and thin, it's been the unwavering support of friends and fans that has fueled my passion for music. Their stories uplifted and inspired me to create music that leads people to live their most impactful lives while honoring God who blessed me with this musical gift.
Being selected for such a prestigious award like the JUNOS is a tremendous honor, and I am deeply grateful to be considered alongside some of the greatest musicians. I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported me along the way – my family, friends, collaborators, and fans. Your unwavering belief in me has been the driving force behind this achievement. I know my mission is not complete, and I look forward to continuing to create innovative and uplifting music for years to come, hoping this award can serve as a foundation to share God's message of love with all. Lastly, and most importantly, I want to thank God, for without His grace and guidance, none of this would be possible. He has been my constant companion, my source of strength, and my ultimate inspiration.
