We all have our gifts whether we recognize them or not. For example this episode's guest has Perfect Pitch. In the noise of "Reality" television programmes such as The X factor & The Voice and multiple Social Media Platforms for fans choose from, are our musical gifts still recognized...? Or is it all about the latest gimmick?

In this episode Naron Litchmore and I discuss the peaks and flows of the Music Industry and who truly wins in the battle of Quality over Quantity. He is a pianist that started his musical journey at the age of 7 and over the years he has performed with many great artists such as Yaz Alexander, Pato Banton and me! More recently Naron has been performing with the Aston Performing Arts Academy (APAA) who aim to inspire young people through creative arts.

All guests are asked select 7 Reggae tracks that inspire, connect them to their culture or evoke heartflet memories. Unfortunately Naron only selected 3 (which you can hear me cuss him for in the interview!) but to make up for it, as this episode is all about the Music industry I have included Reggae Uprising Podcast fan Don G's single, along with everybody's favourite song of mine "Bless My Soul".
