FORMER Chelsea Youth Academy alumnus Daygo P hopes to score with his latest single Money Step, released June 10.

“I decided to record Money Step as a way to inspire the youth by showing them a better way. At the time, I was getting a lot of fight with business and with the music — and I persevered. I want the youth to know money haffi mek in a positive way. They can make money without doing certain things, so we ah show the youth,” said Daygo P, whose real name is Adene Adolphus Higgins.

Money Step appears on the artiste’s Front Step Records imprint. Money Step is on the rhythm of the same name and features acts including Skeng and Jah Vinci, as well as emerging artistes like Suspense, Badda General and Ambiance.

The Money Step rhythm is his Daygo P’s third compilation project.

“This project’s aim is to bring back dancehall juggling and recreate the togetherness while helping the youth of the future,” he said.

Hailing from Spanish Town in St Catherine, Daygo P attended Homestead Primary. He migrated to Canada in 2003 where he completed his education at Downsview Secondary School in Ontario, Canada. He represented the secondary school in football as a midfielder.

In 2004 scouts selected him to try out for the Chelsea Youth Academy in England. He said he was, however, pulled to music.

He returned to Jamaica in 2010 where he became interested in music and recorded his first professional single, Man Fi Buss, in 2015. His other songs are Genuine Friend and Money A Fi Mek.

His other rhythms are Pain Land and Boasy Talk.
