Another British DJ and lover of Jamaican music for many years Daddy English said, “Pain and Pleasure seem to be a real introduction to Inezi and it’s preparing me for what I can look forward to in the future. Like that he started out by setting his boundaries and standard in the first track called, Refuse To Be You.” “I’m a geek for a good snare and the snare on this track takes me back to the 90s…big up the producers!” Daddy English plays on the Reggae In The City Podcast, he is also the sound owner of Benevolent International.

“Get used to this name, Inezi!,” DJ Ramona Samuels told her listeners on Riddim FM 102.1 broadcasting live out of Montego Bay.

His voice and lyrics definitely have that crossover appeal.”

This artist has a voice that gave me an original Jamaican feeling with a Sting (the artist) like appeal. He flowed so smoothly over these rhythms. Fine Wine and Skatter Me caught my attention with the way Inezi gracefully changed his tones but not strayed from the message. Inezi definitely is a voice for the world to hear. I will be playing his music regularly on Vibe 105.5FM because good music should be heard by everyone. Congratulations to Global Beat Studios you have a world artist on your team.”
