Someone sarcastically asked me if I like politics because in their mind they expected me to say ‘No’ in a giggly girly kind of way. They were in turn shocked that I actually said yes and then proceeded to talk about my views on Iraq, Ivory Coast and how unfortunately mans greed for power & control and our western ideology and laws have caused many wars and divisions. As someone who has converted to a faith that believes in charity and building people (Christianity) I feel that politics plays a massive part in my life as it effects everything I do, eat & drink. Although this persons view of me was very ignorant (manly because he thought I was too young and too girly to care about such issues) I’ve discovered that unfortunately there aren’t that many young people interested in Politics or maybe we’re not taught too! Maybe we’re taught to care more about celebs & material things instead :(
When I first was introduced to music it was for fun and because I enjoyed it but after certain events, debates, self-evaluation and convictions I want to use my music to deliver positive messages & make people think & be encouraged just like those musicians who have inspired me such as Jill Scott & Israel Houghton & my fellow Jamaican Bob Marley… I love soulf ul house but me love Reggae too!
WAKE UP! There is too much going on in this world for us to ignore! The government is using popular culture to brainwash and harm us therefore we cannot afford to be ignorant.
