" Music with a Purpose If music could come to life and talk, see and move like a person, it would BE Tall, dark and strongly built, this man is a living instrument. Give him two words and he'll come up with a catchy tune you can groove to. When he speaks he sounds as if he's sharing a lullaby and the flow of his voice is hypnotizing. He is an extension of his alter ego, "Melodic," which this young Reggae singer uses as his stage name. "I was born this way," he says of his musical career. "Basically this is my purpose." After hearing Melodic's recent hit, "Ride On," - a song about staying strong during harsh times inspired by his own homeless experiences, and seeing others in the same place struggle - it is clear that this artist doesn't just make music that sounds good but creates it with a message that sticks. Kiwibox sat down with this Jamaican born music man and had an inspiring chat about music and its power to change, how making a difference starts from within "

" Every once in a while, people find themselves in an unanticipated place at an unexpected time. And on some of these rare occasions, this break in routine can lead to an unforeseen discovery. Such was the case with Melodic."
