George ‘Fiji’ Veikoso is aiming to bridge the gap between new local artists and the old artists in Fiji.

From his struggles on the streets of Raiwaqa right through to when he became a member of seminal reggae band, Rootstrata, Veikoso did it tough.

While sharing his thoughts on how local artists can develop, he says this is a great opportunity to see potential talents that can make Fiji proud in the years to come.
