After he had left school, Tadius hit the road to pursue his music career. He moved to Kingston where he grew lyrically and began adding elements of what he saw occurring around him to his music.

"Here, I began writing more songs, relating to people life and things I see happening around. I always get good encouragement to continue music and strive for the best from the people around me," he says.

He also added that he knows that his strength is in his melodious voice, as people have always complimented him on this. He says that his inspirations are a lot of things but mainly comes from nature: the sun, the moon and stars, artistes like Bob Marley and Sizzla, and above all else, Jah.
