He has collaborated with members of NYC-based band The Slackers,[3] Kingston's Equiknoxx collective,[4] Brooklyn's Screechy Dan, Peter Ranks, Willow Wilson, and many more artists spanning roots reggae and dancehall music.[5] He also hosts a digital radio show called "Every Spoil Is A Style" which explores Jamaican music, its influences, and offshoots, and broadcasts live every third Thursday from the Great Circles record store in Philadelphia.[6]
