As a youth, he constantly raised his voice in song and began performing with smaller sound sets in his neighboring community.

Without question, his stage performances are electrifying as he delivers his conscious message of love and liberation. He has toured in Europe (France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, German, Sweden and more) and made appearances at a limited number of US reggae festivals including the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival and the North West World Reggae Fest.
