Nonye: You became a successful musician at a young age, looking back now, did you think you handled your success well and what do you think you would have done differently?

JT: I think I would have liked to be more business savvy but it was fun and I don’t regret it except probably not knowing the Lord earlier. Music has always been a part of me and I come from a musically gifted family.

Nonye: Describe your experience from going from a secular artist to a gospel artist and what is your view on gospel artists who have left the faith and now gone back to secular music?

JT: From being lost to being a Christian is a wonderful experience and I don’t see myself as a champion for gospel reggae music as yet. My heart’s desire is to see people fulfil their destiny and purpose in God by embracing His Word. Relationship with God is key and not a phase. It is good that gospel artists examine their motives for being in ministry because when the going gets tough and one’s faith is tested, then the essence of one’s ministry is fully known based on how the person handles the situation.

Nonye: How is life in the US considering that you were born and lived in Jamaica?

JT: Great; I have lived in the US for quite a while now and got saved in Jamaica and by the way, my mother also lives in the US.

Nonye: What do you do in your spare time?

JT: Besides music, family life is important to me especially as I have a wife, Trudy and three daughters (Chyna, Zoe and Paige).

Nonye: Are you working on any future projects/albums?

JT: Not at the moment; I am still enjoying the success of my fourth reggae gospel album (Victory – Worship from Island II) which was released in 2006.
