Hector has a distinctive ability to fuse these genres based on his vocal genius and is always looking for ways to create a new vibe with his musical passion. Having collaborated with several notable artists such as Jesse Royal, Keznamdi, Lila Ike, Mortimer, Julian Marley, Beres Hammond, Chronixx and Popcaan along his journey – this singer is poised to blaze a musical trail in his own right among a new generation of Reggae artists.
