At the age of 17, Pressure moved to the United States where he entered a few talent shows including Amateur Night at the Apollo in January, 1999. Pressure then joined a group with 6 other artist with whom he shared a common goal, to spread the word of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, through Reggae. It was in this group that Pressure perform his first professional stage show as an opening act for international Reggae star Sizzla Kalonji in 2000. After an excellent performance, the group was in high demand and went on to open for other top acts such as Capleton, Buju Banton, Bunny Wailer and Junior Reid among others.
