As a young boy, the Artist remembers jumping into his Father's Defender with his family to travel to the fishing village of Scott’s Head, Dominica. 

He vividly recalls days spent with his family in Scott's Head, where he watched fishermen build wooden boats on the beach, bending the wood, nailing them together, painting the fishing boats, and eventually pushing them into the water to go fishing, to provide for their families and community. This traditional way of life left a deep impression on the Artist and is reflected in his work.

 

Scott's Head, a scenic fishing village on the southwest coast of Dominica, holds a rich history shaped by the complexities of the Caribbean, including the impacts of slavery and colonialism. Originally inhabited by the Kalinago people, the village saw the arrival of European colonizers, primarily French and British, who established plantations and relied on enslaved African labor. The legacy of this history has contributed to the development of a vibrant Afro-Caribbean culture in the area. Today, Scott's Head is a beloved destination for tourists and locals alike, offering stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and a strong sense of community. 

 

In a unique blend of music and visual art, the Artist's upcoming music album "Memesis," loosely translating to art imitating life, is directly tied to his work inspired by Scott's Head. The fishing boat "Memesis" featured in this artwork, serves as a bridge between his music and visual storytelling, symbolizing his ability to draw from personal perspectives and experiences to convey stories through multiple artistic mediums.
