As a child I had a huge appetite and my friends use to call me hounDog Riley from a cartoon character in the newspapers in Guyana at that time.

I rarely play live now. No set place, only jam sessions maybe once or twice a year. I still enjoy the adrenaline rush from playing to a live audience whenever I do.

You no longer have to be signed to a big label to make a decent living from the industry.
