In Jamaica, he listened to acts such as Beenie Man, Buju Banton and Bounty Killer, but in 2005 he became a Christian and the message in his music changed. What has not changed is his dancehall delivery. He reports that gospel with a reggae flavor has a following in the UK.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThere is a market for reggae\/gospel music in the UK.
