What exactly is his role as an executive producer?
“I have to come up with concepts for the albums as well as marketing plans and strategies. However when I market for other artists I focus on getting their songs and music videos in rotation. I am very passionate about what I do and I work very hard. Reggae music is one of the strongest genres in the world and we need to work hard to keep it at a high standard. We see some of the younger artistes making their mark internationally but we need more of that and we need to see the established artistes reclaiming their place in the wider music world.’
“Whenever I do an album I don’t just do it to win awards or get plaques. I try to put out the best music possible and so far that formula has worked for. The music world should look out because when we’re coming we come hard and there is so much more to look forward to.
