1. What is the meaning of your name? {group if applicable}:

The meaning of my name come out during the times my country had too much political problems, so many political parties where formed. I chose to form mine. Centre Party. Basically meaning the mediator between rivals. My mission is to inspire unity amongst rivals cause wars are a destruction of selves.

2. What does your music bring to the reggae genre?

I'm going to bring out a lot of positive messages in my music because I feel the music of this day lacks life-building messages. Messages that talks bout what's right for us as a people.

3. Who influenced you? And what is your motivation?

My mother was a huge influence for me. She was a good singer.  I would always find her songs very touching before sending our prayers to the lord. I'm basically more inspired and motivated with the society we live in. The things that's happens in life the good and the bad.  So, it is in this I end up putting my pen to paper all in trying to find solutions.

4. What do you see as the future of reggae and music in general?

Reggae is the liberator and its future will always be to liberate humankind from all forces that tries to lead the people astray. It is the voice of reason; music is fast turning into not entertainment but the weapon of ungodly religion. There's no teaching, no value from music from all genres of these days. Music must seek to educate not to destroy, cause we are living in a world full of diseases, wars and natural disasters.

5. Playing or recording what do you prefer?

I prefer recording mostly, so that the messages I bring could be heard with a larger audience.

6. 2011 was an amazing year for Centre Party. How do you sum up all that have happening in your musical career during 2011 and what are your plans for 2012?

2011 was a super year, more like a long dream coming true and took my music to another level.

Thanks to Fada Maxmum who first played my music on Zim Carib Radio, will never forget the forward I got from him. My year super because also of Lady B Bless, my manager she has become my backbone and she keeps pushing me to become a better artist. She made my 2011 great, she made all things possible. Out of the million artist in Africa she chose me to uplift and inspire and that is a blessing. In 2012 we plan more of the same music and more music, I'm focusing on my album for 2012 and we have some other project we're working on for 2012 so just stay tune to Centre Party.

7. Please tell the folks what you would like them to know.

Positiveness is the way to go. It is important we listen to music that builds us not that will destroy us. As any artist I am going to bring a lot of positive messages in my music cause it seems that's the only thing long missed in music. That's now all sex, guns and drugs.

Lets all put our faith in the lord God our creator cause in him there's victory.

God Bless Yu!!
