The
musical director and keyboard player for Morgan Heritage, producer and
singer André 'Drezion' Bailey is exploring the arena of the artiste.
The
former Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts (EMC)
student explained that music had been a passion of his since growing up
and that he listened to a wide variety of older artistes. "By listening
to those guys, it inspired me to become a musician," he said.
"When
I was younger, I listened to Bob Marley and Sizzla. Mi start fool
around with it and realised that I was good at doing it. But I was more
interested in the rhythmic section. From you can play an instrument,
singing comes naturally after that because you know keys," Bailey told
The Sunday Gleaner, noting that he played drums, guitar and bass guitar
before moving on to the keyboard.
