A reggae artist and musician from Jamaica has stopped off in Norfolk as part of his UK tour.
Troydon, who was nominated for the Best Unsigned Artist award at this year's British Reggae Industry Awards, visited Wymondham College yesterday.
The singer-songwriter then met with year 10 business students, who discussed ideas for how they would market his career in the UK, before holding a music session with music pupils after lunch.
He then concluded his visit with an interview with year 12 students Ed Roffe and Lily Evans for BrickFM and Sound Fusion Radio.
The musician, whose full name is Troydon Bent, told them: 'It's my second time in the UK. I was here in February doing some promotions and a couple of shows and came back following a request by some of the fans. It's my second time and I am having a ball.
'I am coming from a very musical background. My mum is a singer and my dad's a singer. I have come to love music and dancing. I was well known in Jamaica as a dancer. I took the same rule and applied it to the music.
'If you want something you have to be persistent. You have to go for it and that is what I am doing right now.'
He also spoke about his grandmother playing 'old time music' such as Bob Marley while he was growing up and said he enjoyed his visit to Wymondham.
'I have gained love and knowledge as well,' he added. 'The kids here are wonderful. Trying to get the people to look at the positive side and what I have done here today is to tell the kids all about that and they have responded well to me.'
