I love Barbados, it's really relaxing.

Out of all the places in the world, Jamaica is my favorite place.

I really like the Caribbean. Anyplace in the Caribbean. I get there, and I feel like a monkey - the perfect state.

I can have fun anywhere, as long as I'm with good people. But in the offseason, I like to go somewhere warm, a nice spot in the Caribbean.

My father was an airline pilot, so we travelled more spontaneously than a lot of families. On a Thursday, we could decide to go somewhere like Barbados the next day for a long weekend.

I was lucky enough to spend some of my school days in Barbados, where my father was working, and this gave me a taste for hot weather.

Being in Jamaica, I feel comfortable there.

Though Barbados has been independent since 1966, its capital, Bridgetown, still has elements of a thriving British colonial port.

I grew up in Birmingham, but my parents are originally from Barbados. My dad, Romeo, was a long-distance lorry driver, and my mother, Mayleen, worked in catering.

I've been in Africa, America, moving around a lot. It's helped me to open up my mind. I was born in Jamaica; I've lived all my life there and got all I could from Jamaica. But I needed to be somewhere else to grow.
