Potenkle, at 25, wants to go beyond those limits set by his father when he gave him that name. Born in Charleston - an area close to the Ocho Rios border, Potenkle I now resides in the hills within a stone's throw of Ocho Rios. Much of his initiation to the music itself was facilitated by his father.

He recalls with some pride being taken, as a youngster, to Rasta Revolution, considered to be a big show that was hosted in Portland where he was inspired by the likes of Luciano, Determine, Bushman and Capleton.

His first big exposure to the music and by extension, a highly competitive arena, came at a talent show in Charlestown. The show featured interestingly, Red Rat and Teflon who have since enjoyed a larger break in the industry.

The migration from St Mary to more developed town centres is a natural progression for persons who want to get a greater piece of the entertainment pie. Unfortunately for Potenkle I, the proximity to one of the island's thriving tourism centres provides a strange paradox in terms of the lack of opportunities for artistes like himself.

"It's rough when you're a young entertainer in Ochi," explains Potenkle. "Most time, a youth haffi deh pon the street a hustle."

As to the disadvantage of being in a town like Ochi, he says, "I find that Ochi promoters don't rate young artiste. Right now all we have is the radio station (Irie FM) which we try to target. Most time we have to look out."

Looking out has meant making trips regularly, often at great personal expense, to more lively centres like Negril and Kingston to get on shows as sidekicks. So far this year, he has been lucky to get on the King Yellowman show at Berban Beach (Negril) and in Linstead alongside Jigzy King, Hero and the God-alone Family. He singles out such artistes as Little Aaron, Perfect and Teflon as persons who will go the extra mile to "put in a word" to get links for talented but struggling colleagues.
