His early influences are Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Naughty by Nature, Tupac Shakur, The Notorious BIG and Snoop Dogg. His love for rap music coined with his experiences during two civil wars (Liberia and Sierra Leone) molded him into an exceptional artist who expresses his views of life through music, books, screenplays and poetry. His keen interest in science, also led him to establish the Freddy Will Hope Foundation.
