I am fortunate in the sense that I get to travel the world as a musician and I have witnessed that reggae music in many of these countries that I visit has a high visual presence in the form of live events and television coverage and young people want to play musical instruments as a direct influence to what they see at the live events and on television. This is what I believe is lacking from reggae music in the UK.”
