I am the pride of St. Kitts, located in the West Indies.  I grew up in a small village called Phillips Village which was and still is a ghetto.  Music is one of the things that keep most youths sane.  I grew up around steel pan music and from age 12 started playing in a steel band.  I loved music so much that I often received many lashes for forgetting to do my daily chores at home, but it was worth it.  At the age of 16 I left St. Kitts and went to the British Virgin Islands and lived there for 5 years.  While living there I met a wonderful girl who was on vacation from Vancouver.  When it came time for her to leave I decided to go to Vancouver for a visit and the rest is history.  In Vancouver I played in many different bands for many years, until I decided to branch off and start a band of my own.  I started Tropical Breeze some 16 years ago and itâs still going strong.
       
I would like to give a sincere thanks to some friends and family members that made this album possible.  Thank you to my daughters Jameila & Kristyna, and to my son Nick.  Thank you to my friends Dylon Munro, Kenrick Headly, Ulan Atwell and my buddy Mr. AT himself.  A big, thank you to all who were a part of this project, and most importantly I would like to thank my wife Grace who put up with my music for all these years.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH
