In this episode Isis and Odessa sat down with Gladstone Taylor, an inspiring young author and writer with a strong message about following your passion and integrity.

Though his writing is explorative and non-genre specific, in the main Gladstone is a music writer whose work appears in major local and international publications such as Backayard Magazine, The Fader and Afropunk.

His debut book, KingSun :The Testaments of Sunlight and Water is the work of an introspective, toiling mind weaving together a melodramatic, angular tale of Jamaica.

Listening to Gladstone you can hear expressions of that same nuanced, multi layered thinking that has come to define his work.  It is not a question, Gladstone is a Jamaican creative on the rise and we love to see it.
