Busy Signal says this is what he does almost daily, voicing in the studio.

STAR of the Month Busy Signal was fully occupied from the moment he arrived at the Colombian Studio in Mona, St Andrew.

When he reached the venue, he played around a bit, posing for the camera at intervals. He said he was coming from Bounty Killer's residence, where he paid his respects as Bounty Killer's father died.

After that, it was work in the studio. Before recording, he vibed for a while with friends. He listened to some of his recently recorded tracks, like Pass The Test, which persons in the studio referred to as the Christmas anthem. While listening, he rocked, stomped his feet and clapped to his creations.

Then it was time to record dubs for various disc jocks and radio personalities. At times, he forgot some of his lines but made some new lyrics to fill the gaps.

In the hot recording booth, he was wiping away sweat every second, and he even changed his shirt, which was soaking wet.

Although Busy was working, he found time to laugh with and mock some of his friends.

"This is what I do every day (recording)," he told THE STAR. "Mi might go home and bathe off, get two hours sleep and then mi just come back again."

Busy said being in the studio helped to keep him focused.

"A just mi life this. A just music. More time mi just stay off di road and do music. So mi stay focused and out of trouble," he said.

After recording for hours, he took a break to eat his vegetarian meal and drink his cranberry juice which is kept at room temperature.

Then, it was back to the recording booth. What a day!
