From humble beginnings in his home community of
Bathsheba, St Joseph, Barbados, 
Tuff I and his family would gather in the evenings to
listen to his father play the guitar.
Sweet melodies would ring out while his mother and siblings
would listen and sing along.  
As a young man, Tuff I would to pick up his father’s guitar
and pluck the strings carefully to sound out the chords
of his most early influences such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh,
Dennis Brown and Frankie Paul.

It was soon after, as a young man, that he emerged as a
musician with a gift to play his own tunes
(on both the guitar and djembe) by ear and freestyle.

In addition to the early Reggae influences in Tuff’s life,
his lineage influencer, singer-song writer Wendy Allen also
played a role in Tuff I’s musical development.
It was with Wendy’s example that
Tuff I began to write his own lyrics and songs, at first chanting,
and later, emerging as a soulful singer.
