Quotes It would be nice if I had a story to tell you, like it’s for a special person, trying to make them understand (laughs) That would be very spicy, but it’s nothing like that. It’s just a concept that came to mind at the time of writing. We had a song on the beat before that was produced by Robert Livingston (Big Yard). He just asked me if I could write something else for the beat and You’ll Never find is the idea that came about. So nothing exciting, no juicy details (laughs). It’s just something that people go through you know, it’s love. You feel like you find a special person, it’s like things are taking a turn for the worst, and you just feel like ‘why can’t we work it out? I’m the best thing for you’. I wouldn’t say it was my main aim, but we wanted to create something that could compete on that level. So we had our Diaspora in mind and Jamaica in mind, something that would hit home with the masses. We definitely wanted something weh can stand up on the world market and that’s why we love to say You’ll Never Find is something like world music. So, it’s definitely coming from Jamaica and it is Jamaican but it can stand up wid dem out deh man. It was definitely intentional. There’s nothing wrong with competition, and if you want to compete on that level you have to try and be on that level. The top three things, I would say different places enjoy music differently and that kinda helps you to read a crowd. You go to one place and they’re jumping, go to another place and they’re just easy going, doesn’t mean they’re not enjoying themselves. Yuh have di crazy crowd, the mellow crowd, the hype crowd, etc. In my travels I’ve gotten to understand that and just read it and be like, ‘yuh know dem ah gwaan good doh, dem love it enuh, but they’re not the crazy crowd’, you know? In my many travels I’ve grown to understand that. That’s one. If I could have my way right now and worse like she no put out no song inna a long time, if I could get Rihanna on it ah murda! Jamaica and Barbados Caribbean link up, ah mad vibes! Riri deh at di top ah di list 100%. Outside of that, Adele would bring an awesome mix to it as well enuh, it get serious right desso now. Interview: Christopher Martin On His Many Influences, The Music Business And New Single ‘You’ll Never Find’;By Sasha Lee Well, I was always working for it, you know... I think I was blessed with this gift to share it with people. I always wanted to share it on a wide scale, so, from when I got this opportunity, I always told myself the sky is the limit. There was no border, no boundaries... I never caged myself, I just worked really hard. I would say my journey has been a very solid one. I've grown as a person, I've grown as an entertainer, I've grown as a singer, you know. I've been to so many different places around the world, I performed on so many different stages, I have such a wonderful support system around me, it's wonderful! When I look back on where I was then and where I'm at today, it's definitely a true blessing. Yes, it's really nice and it's very popular as well. You see, if it was up to me I would video every single one of my songs (laughs). I love all my songs and then I listen to my supporters, they love them as well and they would love to see videos for each and every one of them, but my focus is based on some songs only now. But I would honestly love to do a video for this one, too!
