Stage Name: Radikal Prodigal

Real Name: Calvin Whilby

Birth date: 2nd June

Which high school did you attend? Morant Bay High

How did you get started in the business? My Bible class teacher introduced me to Danny Brownie.

What has been your greatest challenge in the business yet? Well I don't like the fact of doing good music and it's not being recognised.

What have you been up to lately? I'm currently working on my album, touring and doing shows locally. I also recently shoot a video with Jason Mighty and did a song with Wayne Marshall.

Do you look up to any specific artiste? Yes, I do, I would definitely say Donnie McClurkin and Fred Hammond internationally, and locally, I would say a group called Change.

Are you happy with the way things are going for your career right now? I'm grateful, but think that it could be better and I'm happy with the fact that God has helped me.

Anything you'd like to change about it? Just to let the thing (music) be on a level playing field and give it good play.

What are your future plans? Producing artistes and looking for artistes to try to make Recharge (his annual show) better.

Do you have any advice for young artistes coming up? Don't try to go where your character can't take you.
