The Gleaner: How did you get started in the media?

Liquid: I am originally from Montego Bay and I use to play at Pier One on Fridays. It used to be the big thing before Margaritaville. At the Friday ting tourists come weh dem can party and feel safe. I use to hang around Mr. Russell, who was the part owner of Hot 102, and the station never really have any party vibes. I went to him and asked him about it and from there it's was just mad music.

What is your best moment working in the media?

When you go to a party and hear some of the songs and see some of the artistes you believed in before.
