He then moved to Toronto in 1997 where he has shared the stage with such artists as The Mighty Diamonds, Gregory Isaacs, The Melodians, George Nooks, Willie Williams and Sugar Minott, to name just a few. He has performed on studio recordings with a huge range of artists in numerous studios across North America and the Carribean from recording in Barbados with Eddie Grant to recording at Channel One in Jamaice, all the way to recording in Toronto's most popular studios (Wellesley, Slamm, Explorer and Halla music) with some of Toronto's most popular artists like Steele, Nana McLean, King Ujah and many, many more. He contributes to the band's vibes and reputation beyond any of his various musical roles by being dedicated, passionate about the music and unfailingly cheerful.This veteran of the global reggae community has the crucial ability and positive attitude you would expect from someone who has been on the a-list of both serious players and live bands on three continents.
