But that didn’t discourage him from playing music, in fact, by 18 he had been in countless recording sessions, live shows, and even got an exposure of Reggae’s influence in his hometown of Ecuador as well as Kingston, Jamaica. The Rastas of Reggae Foundation Inc. influenced his view on life through their meditation and philosophy. By the age of 21, Mago Wiz began to write in his native language as well as in English.
