He takes us from his Trinidad roots and early Calypso competition wins to the moment he switched lanes into Soca and never looked back. Jason breaks down how “Boat Ride Anthem” was born in 2003, why it became a permanent pillar in Caribbean party culture, and what it taught him about the industry and making timeless music.  We get into the business side too, being underpaid as a “local act,” choosing to promote his own boat rides, and turning frustration into freedom and real profit. He shares gems on songwriting for legends (Most Notably - I Dare You by Destra) and the importance of DJs breaking records, and how the streaming/social era changed opportunity for artists and entertainers worldwide. This episode is packed with game for artists, DJs, promoters, and anyone trying to build a real career in the culture. Hit play and enjoy this amazing episode!
