In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
I grew up in a miliary barracks close to Accra in Ghana. I loved music from a very early age. My first memory is hearing the military band playing Bob Marley's "Coming in from the Cold" which started my love of Reggae Music.
