From an early age, I developed a deep love for music. Growing up, my parents and grandparents enjoyed a mix of reggae, calypso, soca, and popular music. 

My enjoyment of music spans across genres and generations, from global icons like Bob Marley and Michael Jackson to legendary dancehall artists such as Buju Banton and Shabba Ranks. Infamous rappers like Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Tu Pac Nas, Busta Rhymes, Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Redman, Biggie Smalls and Styles P have also played a major role in shaping my enjoyment of rapping and lyricism. 

Additionally, I draw inspiration from the pioneers of jungle and UK garage, including Brockie & MC Det, MC Skibadee, DJ EZ, MC Creed, and MC DT 

The influence of hip-hop and the UK underground dance scene profoundly shaped my lyrical style and artistic identity as Chef Da Pavement Poet.
