Captain like any young person growing up in Jamaica had a vibes for music from a very young age and the more he heard artists singing the more he was drawn towards creating his own lyrics and riddims. His first major influence was Bounty Killa until he started listening to Vybz Kartel. Bounty Killa influence was predominately his style of deejaying and his general persona in music. Whilst with Vybz Kartel it was about his incredible ability to be to be very creative and his amazing Deejay style but most of all his lyrics/ Songwriter skills due to his style of delivering his music and impart the mentor that Captain looks to. The key role model and major influence in Future di Captain’s music is the 2 greatest legend of all time the Bob Marley and Vybz Kartel.
