I've always been a huge reggae fan.

Reggae is my heart since I was a kid. I love Reggae music.

I don't have very sophisticated taste in music. I listen to a lot of folk music. I like reggae.

I love a lot of reggae, but I've never had the opportunity to play with any reggae guys.

I grew up with reggae. Reggae is like family. I know it, and there's a type of love and familiarity, but sometimes you want to hang out with other people.

I'm an island boy, so I love my reggae and soca music.

I do have very solid reggae roots based on the fact that I'm Jamaican, and so that is a part of myself; even if I never do all reggae, it has to come out in some way because that's who I am.

Every musician tries to blend in some reggae. It's the only music that brings all people together, different races, different religions.

If reggae comes from another country, you can have the relationship to reggae that I have to rock. But it's something I grew up with. It's probably something I appreciate more now. In the '80s, I was all about New Wave and synth pop - New Order and Depeche Mode and Eurythmics and Michael Jackson and tons and tons and tons of Prince.
