Last year I went to my great grandfather’s village and I met my ancestral family for the first time. Invited to feast over home cooked traditional Ukrainian food, I saw my parent’s smiles in these people as we laughed, cried, and sang songs together. My heart was so full. Now I understand that I belong here and I want to know what it feels like to create music in the land of my ancestors, in my mother’s tongue and to spread Reggae Music throughout Ukraine recording a Ukrainian Reggae Album.
