Local Talent in Ocho Rios
This was a random day lingering at Fishermans beach in Ocho Rios and these dudes just started up. They were all over me filming them and providing their contact info, everyone in Jamaica who has a talent wants to be a star so I told them I would put them on the internet. I enjoyed…
