What makes the Cayman Islands special to me?

I am beyond honoured to be born and raised in paradise. There are so many things that makes the Cayman Islands special. The admiration of such small islands that has intrigued the world with our culture, our lifestyle, our morals of respect we carry along with our hospitality and how kind hearted our people are is just one of a kind, to be honest….Cayman Kind! Our accent stands out with such unique beauty. There will never be another beloved isle that embarks in this world like Cayman. But nothing marks the culture of the Cayman Islands which makes the Country who we are more than “THE PEOPLE” and that’s what makes Cayman so special to me.

Mr Notch - Singer
