In Part 2 of Reshma B's epic Machel Montano interview, the King of Soca talks about performing at Madison Square Garden when he was 9 years old, and the changes he's seen in the soca industry since then. He talks about his efforts to blend soca and reggae, but also cautions that it's important not to get caught up copying other people's style. He recalls the days when Kes the Band was considered a rock act and Bunji Garlin called himself a dancehall artist. In the end, he says the secret to soca's growth is to keep making quality music for the whole world while still remembering that "you've got to be yourself."
