Grammy-nominated producer Triple L has remained true to his mission to create music that represents authentic Jamaican culture.

"My ability to create authentic reggae music comes mostly in my sleep, when I'm down or [when I think of [experiences] from the community and my surroundings. I stay up spending hours recording or finding new sounds to make the music that fit the souls for the people or fans who can relate to both our reggae and dancehall," said Triple L, who added that he has to connect deeply with his productions in order to execute them.

Triple L, whose given name is Orville Stoddart, is the man behind many crowd favourites such as Nosey Neighbour (by Dexta Daps, featuring Ikaya), 9Life and On My Knees (by Tanya Stephens), and Made For Battle (by Hezron, featuring Turbulence). He has worked with a slew of other acts such as Louie Culture, Kabaka Pyramid, and Shane O.

One of his latest productions, Long Dingy Dong Ding, is positioned to do well this summer.

"The streets love it so much. It has set a change in dancehall that was missing the original way when man and woman used to dance together with that authentic, real dancehall music. The people are loving it. The feedback is phenomenal at major events. Everyone [is] saying it's a hit ... nothing can't stop it. Ladies go crazy whenever it comes on at a party," the Trench Town-born producer said.

Triple L is encouraging the younger generation to exude care when working on any project, to ensure the highest quality.

"My advice is 'stay focused. Don't rush; take your time on everything you do, both in recording and production. Notice all the details. Make sure there are great elements in the music, as well'," he continued.
