In the small twin island federation of St Kitts and Nevis this underground sensation Jr Killer, from the tough streets of Newtown has long awaited his time to showcase his talent to the world
Why this name?
In 1993 at the age of 15, after listening a feww dubs on sound system tapes Roots Reality and Culture drop and instantly Bounty Killer was my favourite artist and having a deep voice of my own i would always sing along to my tunes and after a while some who knew me like dat would say Baby Killer for the similarities in myself and Bounty's voice tone, thus i said Jr Killer cause this aint no baby thing man a big man
Do you play live?
I first came on stage in 1996 but since then have unintentionally somewhat hold it down and at that show i was one of the early performers and there weren't much people inside as yet, however when i came on as the promoter said people start rush him at the gate for they thought was Bounty Killer and nuff people came up to the front now and realized it was jus little old me Jr Killer and it felt good to be received like dat. Since then nuff people been asking me when am gonna take this thing to d next level , well that time has come and i've been working hard dese last few yrs rejuvinating my musical career
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
music gets more promotion and reaches a wider audience for one to sample , however is jus to impose strategies so it doesn't get abused like it is at times
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I use to follow up wid d music a lot and always knew that a haffi learn d business side and carn b no fool so a would still sign but dem bwoys better know me a watch everything close
