PM Gaston Browne has officially joined the music industry. He says the move focuses on youth inspiration, not personal fame. Moreover, he believes creativity now demands bigger thinking and wider vision.

During his weekend radio programme, The Browne and Browne Show, Browne explained his decision. He said he wanted to lead by example. Therefore, he registered as a songwriter and producer under the name Gassy Dread.

In addition, Browne confirmed he worked with local producer Jus Bus. Together, they released several songs online. As a result, the music now streams on Spotify and iTunes. These platforms generate royalty income from global listeners.

However, Browne stressed money was never his aim. Instead, he wants young people to see new possibilities. He said technology allows creatives to compete worldwide. Consequently, artists must learn to use digital tools wisely.

According to Browne, modern tools can improve writing and production. Still, he warned against shortcuts. Specifically, he cautioned artists about overusing artificial intelligence. He noted that streaming platforms now reject weak AI-generated music.

Furthermore, Browne said such music often lacks originality. It also raises plagiarism concerns. Therefore, he urged creatives to maintain strong human input. He said authentic music still matters most.

Browne added that his own work relies on human creativity. He actively writes and arranges his music. Technology, he explained, only supports the process.

Turning to the wider industry, Browne shared ongoing concerns. He believes many local artists think too small. Often, they focus only on domestic competitions.

As a result, international growth remains limited. Still, Browne praised Caribbean talent. He said ability has never been the issue.

Instead, narrow ambition holds many artists back. Thus, he encouraged musicians to explore new genres. He also urged them to target global audiences.

To illustrate his point, Browne referenced Rihanna and Bob Marley. Both artists reached worldwide success from the Caribbean. Similarly, he believes others can do the same.

Finally, Browne spoke about the future of creative arts. He said ambition must drive progress. Likewise, adaptability and innovation remain essential.

Yet, he ended with a clear reminder. Human creativity must always lead. Without it, music loses its soul.
