Jamaican dancehall artiste, Alkaline in
an interview with Livefm has said that he consumes ‘herbs’ instead
of food.
“I don’t like food, I consume
herbs,” he told Sammy Forson.
Alkaline says his music
represents everything that society is afraid of and society represents
everything that he is afraid of.
Describing himself as an ‘in
di streets yute’, Alkaline, whose real name is Earlan Bartley, was born in 1993
in Kingston, Jamaica.
Alkaline’s first attempt at
committing lyrics to paper was age ten, and by 12 he was already recording and
producing his own records to his father’s delight.
He is a major Martin
Luther King enthusiast and in addition to loving “life” and his music he lists
fashion, fishing and playing video games among his passions.
His personal style is not that
of a typical artist, but one with a sort of urban edgy with a twist hardcore
appeal. One he dubs as dancehall meets urban pop rock culture.
