Desmond Dekker

I like to write songs about what's happening, what I see around me and what I hear.

I was born in St. Andrew's and raised in Kingston then I attended the Alpha Boy's school.

So, after school, I needed to learn a trade and started to work as a tailor.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

I look up so much to those movies, 'Airplane!' and 'Naked Gun.' I think that stuff is so funny. I grew up just loving all that stuff and sort of idolizing Leslie Nielsen.

Well, the Empire State was about 40' high in the studio. King Kong was a little model about 2' high, and the scenery that he worked in was in proportion to his size.
