Popcaan

thumb Andrae Hugh Sutherland (born 19 July 1988), known professionally as Popcaan, is a Jamaican dancehall singer. Quotes Music feeds me happiness and it help me express myself sometimes where me don’t want to say to somebody. Me just say it in a different language, where I sing it off. Music is the best thing. It feeds me everything. It feeds me life. Yeah, because those music are very spiritual. I think by listening to those music while I was growing up, I get that spiritual side, because separate from singing party songs and badness and everything, I can sing a gospel song, too. I don’t remember a lot of them still, but I remember a few of them... Me used to listen to a song with Kirk Franklin, “Lovely Day.” That was my song. I was always writing lyrics. I used to write most of my songs in the bathroom because I think those times I was shy still and I never want nobody to hear my songs and everything. Me just write them and DJ them. Me write for a long, long, long, long time... Portmore is where I started moving towards stardom the real way, because all the youths, them just made me feel like a star already. They make nice for my song and supported them. They always made me feel like me can do it. I think the world started to take my music serious when I sing a song called “Dream.” Before that I sing “Clarks” and a few other songs, but people still wasn’t convinced. I’m going in the lab again and convince them and I stay convincing them from there and I won’t stop. Since 2010 I been hearing from the outer world, because I was traveling since then. I started traveling on the islands first: Trinidad, Tobago, Barbados, Antigua, Guyana, Hawaii. Those people made me feel like I’m a big artist already, until I get to be a big artist for real. Those people believe in Popcaan from ever since still. Sometime I don’t even know how far in the world people are listening to my music still, but I know it’s out there. Popcaan on the Power of Positivity and The Meaning of Unruly That’s how I feel. Blessed and grateful. I’m always recording, y’know. Even if I’m on a vacation I still record. It’s like work and fun at the same time. It’s very important to have the studio around because you never know when you’ll find something you want to record. Sometime when I’m jiving I’ll get some ideas and I’ll do it on my voice recorder, send it to someone through WhatsApp. It’s like healing, from whatever is draining me, or whatever is on my mind. If I’m feeling overwhelmed or anything. Once music is real, and relatable to me and my lifestyle, it’s the same thing. It’s healing for me as well. If somebody is singing a song that is uplifting to me. Internal Elevation: Popcaan Interviewed External links Category:living people Category:Singers from Jamaica Category:1988 births
