Tuu Ra: I naturally had the ability to dress and live in my own creative world which allows me to consistently express my personal individuality as an artist. I continue to reinforce this ability to hide and isolate myself from time to time so as not to get caught up in the hype and develop my own tendencies. As an artist, I think it’s very important to protect yourself from the opinions of others to some extent. Because if one starts to make decisions on the basis of these subjective suggestions from others, then it will be difficult for them to express themselves freely as a single artist, which “artists” do.

Daily music roll: How did your Caribbean roots play a role in your music career given that you made a smooth transition from HipHop / Rap to Afro-pop / AfroDancehall?

I’ve been making dancehall music for as long as I’ve been doing hip hop. In the beginning, hiphop was more the main focus, so that’s what I made public. When Afrobeat arrived a few years ago, I was moved by its similarities to Caribbean music. I joined the movement when I released my first AfroDancehall record in 2019. Since then I have decided to make this genre and its similars my main focus as it is closest to my roots where I feel. “more at home”.

We see many successful American and British artists collaborating with rising stars emerging from the continent. It’s very exciting for me for black culture because that’s what we should have been doing a very long time ago. We are not separate, we are one people. I have a lot of respect for Burna Boy because he made a point of constantly conveying this message to his audience.

Daily music roll: What has your experience been with the healing arts? How did it shape you to become the person you are today?

I also learned and experienced how life energy is not limited to our physical health but is well responsible for our social life, like career, finances, relationships etc.
