When you first come out of the box, you want to play the 300-capacity place, then it's 1,600-capacity, then it's an arena - so, do you want to be in a stadium now? The ego keeps telling you that it's not enough.

I grew up on dancehall music, and it holds a strong place in my heart.

When I write a song, I get the melody right first, and then hopefully I can back it up with a lyric that has to respect the melody.

I played 'Rewind' so many times in the club to see which parts were working, see how the crowd reacted to it.

Mentors and sponsors, particularly in the early stages of my career, were invaluable to me because they encouraged me to raise my hand and take opportunities to build my capabilities.

I never, ever would have imagined the kind of career I've had. It just wouldn't have occurred to me that anything like this could have been possible. I didn't have any such aspirations. And I still can't believe my good fortune.

I haven't had the most lucrative career. If I'm going to be completely honest, I'm a one-hit wonder.

The most beautiful thing about my career is the feeling people have for me.
