A great song is a great song.

A great song is one that is around even when I'm not.

There is always something wonderful about a live audience.

Off stage, Im very quiet and very reserved and kind of shy.

I can put in Bob Marley's music now, and it's still relevant.

What I love about Beyonce is she's not a slave to a genre of music.

It's lovely to be recognized in your own country, but I feel that there's more.

Music for me is not just being on a stage and singing. It's my coping mechanism.

Own the stage, command the stage, and don't be afraid to be the best you can be.

I think when you are a cool guy but also a hot guy, that makes you even more sexy.

I think on stage theres a side of me that comes out thats very fierce and confident.

I want to make an album with just great beats and big vocals and just amazing lyrics.

Till this day, people stop me in the supermarket, and they're like, 'Oh, we're so proud of you!'

I think a part of being successful or trying to be successful is staying true to who you are. Be genuine.

I think anything I do will have an island feel, but I don't want it to be just that; I don't want to be put in a box.

I think a lot of my dreams have come true, and my next dream is to have a No. 1 selling album. A Grammy-award-winning album.

Being born in Jamaica, race was never an issue. It was always about the type of person I wanted to be, not the colour of my skin.

I can work my butt off and create an album that's wonderful, but if it's never played and never given the outlet, it won't succeed.

My mom always said if you have a gift, it is absolutely not about you. So I don't get twisted and think for one second it's all about me.

When you talk about me having a favorite singer, it's Celine. She is not only one of the most amazing singers, but she is just an amazing person.

It is very important to me that my songs can sound amazing with a big band or orchestra, but just as powerful and touching with just me and my guitar.

I get extremely nervous before performances. I pray and try to look at it as, 'I'll go out there and have fun,' but it's very nerve-wracking for me. I don't think that will ever change.

I want to make the music that people remember, and it doesn't need a trend; it doesn't need to be constantly hyped. There's no time period for it. That's the type of music I want to make.

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.

I was at a family friend's house and in true Jamaican style we celebrated with food. I relived every single emotionit was a moving experience. I am super-happy with all the love and support I am getting from my Jamaicans and Caribbean people.

There's no Limit for me, and no limit I'm willing to put on myself where doing what I love is concerned. I was born to do what I am doing now, and just the fact that I'm able to be having a career in music and doing what I love everyday, and reaching the ears and hearts of people is for me in a sense. Success and yes... a dream come true.

It was during this [as a kid] time that I came out of my shell vocally and performance wise, I learned how to really and truly sing in a different way.... my way. It was an amazing experience because I also realized my lifelong dream - to sing my own songs...I have something to say and it was a great release for me to share that part of myself with others.
