WHATS YOUR PLANS FOR THE

FUTURE???

In the future Sadeki Street would like to become an Accountant and hopefully be playing football professionally, while doing music and track and field on the side. What he would like to see happen to the Jamaican music is for it to go back to the good old dancehall and reggae music in today’s modern music industry.

Not only is he a part of sporting clubs at school, but he is in his own music group by the name of Farm Yard. Farm Yard, made up of Finity (Odel) , Clip N R (Micheal Bailey), Sad Sad (Sadeki Street) and more is an upcoming music group who wishes to make Jamaican music better for the future. These friends grew up together in the community of Melbrook Farm located in Harbour View, which was part of their inspiration for the group's name. Since these boys were always at each others 'yard' writing music, 'running a boat' and just chilling overall the second part to their name came to life. This group of friends motivate each other in every way possible and keeps each other inspired to become the best in all activities and to improve their God given talent(s). Established in 2008 the group has since worked with labels such as Lion Brothers Ent, Garrison Ink, East Link Records, Magician Records and many more. Each member of the group brings something new and exciting to the table, they are all fueled by determination and they will do whatever positive they can to strive for success. With this said, look out for Farm Yard as they make their mark in Jamaica's music industry.
