I was<br />
was ecstatic!<br />
It has been my<br />
dream to perform<br />
on the main stage of<br />
Jamaica Jazz and Blues<br />
Festival because it<br />
as such a diverse<br />
festival...<br />
“When I got the call from Music Unites that I was<br />
selected to perform on the <strong>2021</strong> Jazz and Blues show<br />
I was ecstatic! It has been my dream to perform on<br />
the main stage of Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival<br />
because it as such a diverse festival, it has class<br />
and sophistication and is different from any other<br />
Jamaican festival. That is what my music attracts.<br />
I didn’t get to perform at the Bali Spirit Festival in<br />
Indonesia last March, because of COVID 19, which<br />
would have been my first major festival and then, Jamaica<br />
Jazz and Blues becomes my first major festival!”. It was an<br />
absolutely fantastic feeling.”<br />
