Happiness is home.

I'm from a small island in the Caribbean called Jamaica, maybe you've heard of it. I grew up on reggae music, jerk chicken, sandy beaches and sunshine all day. Imaginably then, the spirit of a place has always been super important to me and my art. So take my sweet Caribbean conditioning, and wrap it in a burgeoning ambition to live and explore the world via New York City. And what you are left with is called a conundrum. Albeit a head-banger, that didn't stop me from taking the 1,500-mile flight into JFK, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. The sinking dullness didn’t set in until I had found myself a proper Yankee - living with my partner and our dog Storm in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn. Now, we're both creatives; we design, photograph, direct and produce to our little heart's content.
