Originally from Palo Seco, this 27-year-old made his official debut on the local scene in October 2009 with the album "Hitchhiker's Guide to UWI", which features 11 tracks ab...Read More >>

I was eager to meet him, and ready to get the scoop on his journey through Hollywood via New York, by way of Trinidad. As I skipped across the Manhattan street congested with cars, smog, the June heat, and bicyclists alike, I noticed him by his hard to miss pin, which resembled th...Read More >>
