—How would you define your style of music??
— I make reggae music with a conscious message. I also like to make songs that leave a message in people and I like many styles besides reggae.. I like to make songs with the guitar in acoustic format, I like rap, hiphop, folklore, the cumbia, reggaeton, I like music that leaves a strong and concrete message.
—What are your influences in reggae and music in general??
—My most notable influences are Peter Tosh and Bob Marley. Peter more than Bob because of his way of being and his rebellion. Although Marley carried the message to the entire world, I feel more identified with the music of Peter Tosh.
— What are your expectations from this trip to Chile??
— I'm going without expectations, the truth is.. Although it will be my first time in Chile, I go with my arms and heart open to live the experience. My country is very small and very limited in terms of reggae and I think I'm going to a country with a larger population and greater receptivity to reggae music so that it can reach more listeners..
