Fan reactions are crazy sometimes.

I try to stay focused.

We've seen many heroes from Jamaica, you know, and to be put in that class or to be looked upon on that level is overwhelming. It's pretty big shoes to fill, you know. I'm a size eight, but I'll try my best.

My mom has been my support system from day one. Admiring the type of person she is gives me a sense of what to look for in my ideal cheerleader when the time comes.

Fame is a distraction sometimes. You know, it's a distraction if you let it. So it's very important to stay focused, stay very connected to your roots.

Creatively, I've always wanted to be different as it relates to my craft, and reggae, being a part of my culture, makes up a percentage of that uniqueness. The only definition I can think of to describe my style is 'OMI.'

The thing about metaphors is that, if you give them away, you give away the mystery.

The quality of a timeless song is that it's catchy, meaningful and relatable.

My stage name is actually my nickname given to me by my dad when I was a baby.

My father had a passion for love. It's mostly what he talked about in his songs, and I still have his old records today.
