Reggae has a philosophy, you know? It's not just entertainment. There's an idea behind it, a way of life behind the music, which is a positive way of life, which is a progressive way of life for better people.
We believe in the almighty and we believe in God and that music is from God and we're inspired by God to give messages and ideas to people.
I have found that children are the most open-minded of all my audiences. They are not set in their ways. They are open to ideas.
I don't believe in other people's ideas. I have my own ideas.

It was my dad’s idea that music is supposed to be more than simply about entertainment and making a living, but about being of service as an integral part of the consciousness of the world. In honor of him and because it’s right, I use music in that light.
