I have great respect for the humanitarian work he does in Haiti. It says a great deal about his character. Character is an important factor when I decide to do business with someone.

Jean stated, "In a time when record companies are suffering due to download technology, the idea of artist development doesn't exist anymore. It was great to find my partner Howard 'Big H' Misle, owner of In Ya Face Records, who belives as well as I do that true artistry lies not in technology but in the development of the artist."
