Singer/songwriter Troy ‘Mario Kein’ Wright, is a Reggae artiste for whom his music truly is his life. Troy, who has written some 300 songs to date, said his music is totally conscious.
“Music has humbled me and made me wiser,” he told The Scene in an interview. “When you have to sit and write songs you become more knowledgeable. You can’t just sing conscious music and not live it; you have to practice it.”
Troy has recorded around 35 songs, and though hesitant about putting them out there, he will soon release eight of those songs.
On August 1, he opened for Luciano at the Emancipation Show held at the National Park. Also on that ticket were renowned artistes, First Born, Natural Black and Benji Diamond.
Troy has been performing for 12 years since he returned to Guyana, but it was on a visit to Barbados during 2000 that he did his first live performance.
