Haile Maskel
<p>About I, Haile Maskel, I was born in Kingston, Jamaica. I grew up in a musical surrounding. Every beat of my heart rings out a melody. I remember the first song I wrote a song, "Joy bells are ringing". that was it! then the songs just kept on coming. I was just ten years young. then, I wanted to play all the musical instruments- anything that would ring out a melody and when my grandma told my mom sey," em hafe beh a sing-a". thats all I wanted to hear. Next thing I knew, I was in church singing. and from that day forward i'm still riding the melodies of time.</p>
