In 1986 the youngster move to Ocho Rios in his quest for Stardom and a whim to survive .There he got a job toasting on a few Sound Systems on the North Coast : Jack Ruby Hi Power and Tommy Phonic .In those days a dance (concert) could not go on without a live artiste free- styling on the microphone all night long. People would stand on the outside of the dancehall: listen to the artiste and if they deemed the artiste respectable: then and only then would they pay and ram up the dancehall. It was there: and during those rough times that Mr. Absolute learned to compose lyrics to various rhythms at will. Like others who learn their craft in classrooms with accompanying books: Mr. Absolute learned his lessons in live dancehall using a will to survive among some of the best in front of highly critical audience as his tester.
