Daygo P hopes to inspire
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.
