"No matter what I go through, no matter how bad my day... as soon as I play [Reggae] music it just takes away all of the pain. It doesn't only take the pain away, it just replaces it with pure joy and bliss. It's a spiritual thing for me. I know it may sound a bit extreme, but I think this is the closest I can get to meeting God. It's that feeling that [Reggae] injects in me." ~ AYITO
