May Pen High School in Clarendon. He said music was always his calling.
Rass Index recalled,”i used to listen to Buju Banton and Sizzla because they seem to send a message to uplift the poor and depressed,” he said.
He got his break in December 2020.
“I have two other releases, Legal and Celebrate on the same Brain Box Production. The videos will be out for the songs because as everyone knows pictures bring everything to life and people can easily connect to these situations,” he added.
