START OFF WITH YOUR NAME, HOW OLD ARE YOU? Wah gwan mi name is Sean grey. Weh yuh name? Yuh are nah gwine tell me? Well dat is rude dohn yuh think? Or are yuh just shy? No cya (no matter), I will grow pon yuh inna time. I am 20 years ole an a sophmore at King Proteer college. ------------------------------------------------- AWESOME. ARE YOU A LOCAL? Nuh ma'am.I was bawn an raised inna Kingston, Jamdung(Jamaica). I had neva visited America before I moved here to start college. I ave been here fah two years now an sometimes it till feels I just stepped off di plane. Everything is suh different here. A much bigga culture shock dan I expected an honestly I am having trouble getting ajustid. I am used to everyone looking like mi an sounding like mi. I think that's wah I missis di most. ------------------------------------------------- NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED. GOT A BIG FAMILY? I'M AN ONLY CHILD. Mi fambily is bigga dan most but till beenie inna mi eyes. Mi madda is a single parent. Mi dad took off when I was bout one years ole suh I neva really knew him. I know things ave been real hawd pon mi mom but she has neva once complained. She has always had to be strong fah us. No kya wah she was feelin she neva let us see har dung (down) she just kept going did wah she had to suh dat wi could survive. I respeck har fah dat. Even doh mi fadda wasn't around I cyan(can) till seh dat I learned sinting fram him. I learned wah nah to duh. Cah (Because) I saw ow much pain mi mom was inna when he left I knew I'd neva hurt smaddy(somebody) like dat. I know ow much of a struggle it was to support a fambily pon har own.It was rough .Sometimes wi barely had enough to nyam (eat) an I wonda ef he was living di good life while he left us to starve. I sometimes worry dat I will be like him. Like maybe desertion is inna mi blood. Yuh know? But mi madda says that's sinting I could neva be cah I ave such a good heart. "Sean, it takes a special kine of evil to abandon your children" she would always Seh to mi. Inna addition to mi mother, I ave three sistas. I am di ongle bwoy an di youngest although you'd neva know it.Cah I cyan be very protective. As di mon of di house I haffi look afta dem. Many seh dat a mon raised by women tends to be mo sensitive. I dohn really know ow true dat is but I really duh hate to see a ooman being mistreated or crying. I might nah be able to fix di problem but I gotter try. ------------------------------------------------- GO FIGURE. DO YOU THINK YOUR FAMILY SHAPE WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON? I believe mi madda helped to cultivate my love for music. One of mi earliest memories was of mi madda singing an ah(it's) mi bess memory. Music was always playing inna our house whether it was pon the radio or we were making it ourselves. Reggae was of course wah wi heard di most,but we listened to everything. Mi madda has always been mi numba one fan right fram di start. When I was a young bwoy bout five years mi madda saved a likkle of each paycheck to buy mi a guitar fah Christmers. It wasn't inna di bess shape but it was fi mi an I loved it. Ah worn an outta tune now but I cyaan let it guh. I've always been closest to my oldest sista Renatta. She helped mi learn ow to ramp di guitar. Neida one of us really knew wah wi were doing but wi figured it out. To dis day I till dohn know ow to read notes. I ramp by ear. That's sinting I ope to learn inna school. Necie an Eve were closa to mi age but neva really had time fah mi. Eve hers always been er really smart gyal. Har dream was to get inna an ivy league school. Shim ah currently inna har junior year at Harvard studying law. She an I dohn always see yay to yay cah she doesn't think dat music is a reliable carea. Suh I guess i'm determined to prove har wrang.Necie an I ongle spent time togetha when she was inna between boyfriends it seems. Which wasn't very often cah outta all of mi sistas necie is di prettiest. She always had some poor bwoy following har around lacka lost puppy. Which makes mi mo protective of har Dan di rest. Much to our disappointment but nah surprise, Necie ended up breed (pregnant) at a young age. I love mi nephew to pieces but I dohn get along wid his fadda. I till believe he gat har breed pon purpose. ------------------------------------------------- THATS DEEP, MAN. YOU SEEM PRETTY INTERESTING, YOU MUST HAVE AN INTERESTING BACK STORY, HM? Mi parents Henrietta and Aaron Grey were high school sweethearts. Afta mi madda graduated fram high school she decided to put college pon hole suh dat she could pursue har dreams of becoming a singa. It wasn't an easy road mi madda was turned dung several times before a lounge owna took a bly (chance) pon har an gave har a temporary gig. Afta a few performances he was suh impressed wid har dat he gave har a regular gig and she happily accepted it cah she of course needed to support herself. Ultimately doh wah mi madda wanted to duh wers to guh international. It seemed like mi madda was well pon har way to realizing har dream howeva, when she was 20 years ole, she became breed wid mi eldest sista Renatta. Di pregnancy was unexpected but mi madda believed dat children were a blessing an was very excited bout starting a fambily. Di money dat she made singing was enough to support har but nah a fambily suh she was forced to tek wah she had hoped would be a short bruk fram har carea. Mi like to think mi fadda wanted to duh right by har but I suspect mi grandfatha may ave suh Pressured mi parents to get marrid. Mi fadda was a bartenda an didn't m ek much money suh to help mek ends meet mi madda took a job ers er receptionist. Wid two incomes di beenie fambily managed to get by. They weren't rich but they were comfortable. Three years lata mi sista Necie came along an mi madda started finding it difficult to balance motherhood an a job. Besides dat di price of pickney care had risen an it soon became obvious to mi parents dat they could nah afford such a cost. Di ongle way fi dim to cut costs was fah mi madda to tan home wid har daughtas. According to mi sistas dis is when things started to get bad. Mi fadda wasn't sure ow to support his fambily pon such a beenie salary but didn't know ow to tell mi madda dis. Afta struggling fah months mi fadda became desperate fah an source of additional income. Alot of men bidded pon horse races fram time to time suh at first mi madda didn't see anything wrang wid it until he started spending mo time at di track den he did at home. Di crazy ting is dat I dohn think mi fadda evva won...nah once.. but getting closa every time was enough to prompt him to kip trying. By di time Eve came mi fadda had a full addiction dat had spread fram horse racing to several odda forms of gambling. Mi madda had taken to hiding money fram him just to mek sure dat di bills gat paid. She couldn't trust him to guh to di store cah he would cum bak without di groceries. When he discovered dat she'd been hiding money fram him he gat really bringle (angry) an tore apart di house looking fah it. Mi madda told him dat ef he spent it their marriage was ovah. I dohn know ef mi fadda was calling har bluff or just too far gaan wid his sickness but he took dat money an left. He neva came back. I know now dat mi madda neva really wanted him to leave. She held out ope dat they could wuk things out an he'd get help. Mi madda waited fah months fah him to walk bak through dat door before growing bringle an changing di locks. Since den ah just been di five of us. Once wi were ole enough to get jobs wi did. whateva wi could find to duh to help mom. Mom knew dat wi had bigga dreams dan to spend our lives supporting har an she always pushed us to pursue dem. Which is why mi deh yah today an nah playing backup anymore. It took both mi madda an mi sista Renatta to convince mi dat mi madda would be well looked afta while i was inna di states.I till worry bout har sometimes an I missis har suh much but I know dat dis is weh I'm meant to be. ------------------------------------------------- MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED. ANYWAY, THATS IT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. Well perhaps yuh aren't as shy as I thought yuh were. Edah dat or like I said I grow pon yuh. Kine of intense fah a first meeting, dohn yuh think? Raas (Damn), I could use er drink. Yuh coming? ------------------------------------------------- THE PERSON BEHIND THIS WONDERFUL CHARACTER IS GENERALLY CALLED KAYA AND SITS AT 33. SHE LIVES IN THE EST TIMEZONE. ALSO, THIS CHARACTER LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR TO Samuel Larsen , DON'T YOU THINK? |
