How would you describe your sound?: I'd call it modern reggae with elements of hip-hop and rock.
You're releasing your first studio album in five years this weekend. How will it stand out from past albums?: It is reggae but sonically it compares to some hip-hop stuff. ... A lot of Eastern philosophy has had an influence on me, especially for this album. It's called Reincarnation, and it's kind of a play on words because the music is kind of a reincarnation as well.
Is there anything else you could see yourself doing right now?: Not really because I was a musician from when I was 3, 4 or 5 years old, I took to the drums right away ... Rhythm has always been in me so there's nothing else that I really have a passion for other than music and helping humanity ... and that's my purpose with the music.
What's your favorite place to chill with friends in Madison?: Probably the Union Terrace
You can see Natty Nation play their CD release show 7 p.m. this Saturday at High Noon Saloon. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.
