Stage name: Bugle Real name: Roy Thompson Birth date: January 30 His first influences were Papa San, then Bounty Killer, Elephant Man and Vybz Kartel. "Hard work overcomes all difficulties. Put God first and jus' put out good music." I got started in music at a tender age, it was from primary school but never took it serious until 2000 when I met Elephant man. I was introduced to him by a producer who was doing a production at the time and wanted me to write the song for him.
