A rush of bright, vibrant colours.

I was born in England from West Indian/Asian parentage and grew up listening to Ini Kamozee, Maxi Priest, Eddy Grant and Musical Youth. Mixing these old school influences with modern pop (my favourites are Rihanna and Sean Paul) helped me develop my own style, a fusion of reggae & pop mixed up with r'n'b flavours made to make you dance.

After school I studied drama at the Stella Adler Academy in LA. When I came back to the UK I started writing my own songs. I worked with various producers and landed a gig at Notting Hill Carnival. I didn't just perform on a stage - I rode around on an open top double decker bus. I performed at the Hackney Empire and danced at Madame JoJo's. Then, a couple of months ago I teamed up with London based producers The Animal Farm to come up with the songs Skank It and Roulette.

I have a large Koi carp fish tattoo on my left shoulder, an infectious laugh (so they tell me!) and a twisted fashion sense.

My favourite current saying is that life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up!

I'm really looking forward to sharing this music with everyone out there. Write back, comment and tell me what you think
