How wonderful. It's always helpful and<br />
perhaps necessary to have that one person<br />
in your corner.<br />
Beautiful and powerful. Where do you get<br />
your inspiration from?<br />
I listen to motivational speakers a lot.<br />
Among them – Les Brown, Will Smith, T.<br />
D. Jakes.<br />
You are indeed multi-talented. Let's talk<br />
Kaiso, one of my favorite art forms. From<br />
the very first moment I heard your songs<br />
and I saw you perform I became an instant<br />
fan. How did you get into Kaiso?<br />
Kaiso! I just love Kaiso. Kaiso is a part of our<br />
culture. I participated in junior calypso one<br />
year, I think I was in Form 2 at the time. And<br />
so it has always been something I wanted to<br />
do. From the first tent experience I already<br />
knew I would have gone back.<br />
Oh, so 2017 wasn't your first time<br />
competing on the national level?<br />
My first experience, I didn’t really<br />
understand the game. Well, I still don’t but<br />
let's say I didn’t understand how to get<br />
around. The first time around I did a socalike<br />
song and I probably did it a week before<br />
competition. At the time I knew nothing<br />
about voice maturity. All I knew was just<br />
how to let it out, how to sing.<br />
This year was a better year because with age<br />
you're a little more mature and so is your<br />
voice. After the first experience I knew that<br />
hey, I have to try doing this stuff differently.<br />
And then I got a very good manager, Allison<br />
Joseph. Ms. Allison Joseph was like an extra<br />
boost for me. She boosts my confidence and<br />
made sure that I was looking my best and<br />
doing my best.
