A lot of persons may not know, but Mr Holness has a deep appreciation for Jamaican music and culture," Morgan said. He added that Holness made an appearance on TVJ's Intense and has also been to other entertainment events.

Holness also recently interviewed veteran dancehall artiste Shabba Ranks in a discussion that included happenings in Jamaica, music, Olympic Gardens and the artiste's career. The interview was posted to the opposition leader's Facebook page on April 2.
