Caribbean roots run deep through my veins, but my ears wander everywhere—from the dusty reggae riddims of Jamaica to the street heat of Amsterdam, from Seoul's neon nights to Lagos' electric pulse. I collect sounds like some people collect stamps: Surinamese warmth bleeding into Dutch swagger, jazzy sophistication meeting raw hip-hop grit, Latin fire dancing with Afrobeat grooves. Life's too short for one lane when the whole world's making music.
