Who are your influences and what have you learned from them?
Some of my influences when it comes to dancing would be Chris Brown, Jabbawockeez, Kinjaz, and Les Twins. I have learned a lot of ways to stylize movements and movement qualities just from watching the way they move and how they break down beats within music. Some of their personal attributes also resonate with me and my perspective.
Shout-outs to my crew, Multifarious Dance Crew, Amountboy JB, Junious Brickhouse, Ryan “Future” Webb, and the rest of the Next Level crew, for assisting in my progress and growth along the way as a dancer and shaping my mind, and sharing experience in how the hip-hop culture is here and overseas.
What do you think makes you unique as an artist?
Being an artist is one thing, but bringing your own individuality and flavour is another, and that is what makes you unique. It is truly an important essence. For me, that would be my charisma, passion, and character that I portray whenever I dance.
What’s the best career advice you’ve been given?
The best advice I’ve been given is: “Stay true and humble to who you are as an artist, but most importantly, as a person. Because we are all human and have different qualities and opinions.”
How do you stay motivated?
I stay motivated through my family and by watching different dance videos, vibing with my dance crew, or simply creating in my headspace on a regular day.
What’s one of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in your creative career, and how did you overcome it?
One of my biggest challenges would be maximizing ways to create income through dance or entertainment. Most entertainers in Barbados experience this at some point.
I have overcome that hurdle by being natural and genuine. That has helped to promote my craft, causing interest within the island to grow to meet the demand for entertainment.
