I was born in the beautiful island of Jamaica, at an early age my brother and I usually sing on the street side, using pans and zinc fence for our backing tracks, in the night we normally sing on a sound system called Black Symbol Sound.
Back then I use to sing like the singer Ghost, even at school, out of school and on our way to school. Many children surround us, my friend played backing track with his mouth, sometimes we walk all the way from school which is about ten miles long, stopping along the way eating oranges and mangoes and singing
Music was the most important thing in our lives, wherever the street party was we would be there and when there was none we would create our own
In Jamaica, especially, the country part, many people never use to have electric in there homes including me, we did have radios that use batteries, but when we put batteries in the radio it last about few days, so we didn’t use it that much, so we learn to entertain ourselves with our voices, so music was our best friend and still is, if we should include Jesus it, it is my second best friend.
