<p>The New York-based deejay
said that he was inspired to pursue a career in music after he and his
grandmother watched Shabba Ranks&nbsp;on a&nbsp;VHS video&nbsp;performing at
the Underground Club in New York in the mid-1990s.</p>

<p>“After watching Shaba
Ranks’ performance,&nbsp;from that day I was hooked. His performance was out of
this world. That was the day I made up my mind to become a dancehall artiste,”
said Kapa Shanti, who launched his recording career in 2009 with <strong>Pressure The Poor</strong>.</p>
