Keeping this project a secret was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. The premiere came quickly, and then the album was out. I remember feeling a deep pleasure and sense of pride from this achievement, knowing that I was selected for this role where I got to represent black women, Jamaicans and the Caribbean people. To me, this is more than just any music album—it’s a celebration of cultures, music, race and backgrounds coming together as one.
Being the representation for my island is not something I took lightly, and seeing the outcome of this project has not only given me extreme gratification, but a renewed faith that we are constantly evolving as conscious beings. 7 Días En Jamaica was the first domino. I hope that this is the beginning of something new in the industry, and that this project will inspire other artists to explore and celebrate new cultures, unite countries, art, people, talent and creatives to create magic around the world that will inspire our future generations to continue.
