Though he is a commited Christian, Sone is not afraid to recall his days hanging out at dances in his native Clarendon parish, Jamaica. The styles he heard from top acts passing through his hometown of Rocky Point, are evident in his sound.
"Spirit A Move", his latest song, has a feel akin to Papa San and Lieutenant Stitchie, artists who successfully made the transition from secular music to gospel.
Released in early September, "Spirit A Move" is produced by Heavenly Waves Production.
According to Sone, whenever the Holy Ghost calls the body is annointed no matter the sound.
"The message is simple. When God starts to move in your life yuh can’t really understand it. To the point where good things start to happen unexpectedly, it’s hard to fathom" he said.
"Spirit A Move" is Sone's first release for 2021. He had a busy 2020, putting out several self-produced songs like "Overcome".
Other songs such as "Miss Jamaica" and "Solid Rock" also bear the indiscriminate beats he hopes will also find the ears of non Christians.
"Most definitely, especially in this time we are living in, the message of hope is critical. Everybody needs to hear and know," said Sone.
Growing up in Rocky Point, a vibrant fishing village, Sone was a regular at dances featuring the Turbo Sonic sound system which was owned by his family.
He began recording in 2006 as a member of the gospel duo, Positive NRG. He went solo in 2018.
