Starting point is 00:03:24 Wake that ass up early in the morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, not just a special guest. She is a legend.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Well, introduce her the right way then. Nadine Sutherland. I could have did that one. The legend, Nadine Sutherland. I think I did it better. Yeah. Welcome. Yeah, I'm pretty excited. Legend, Nadine Sutherland yeah I'm pretty excited legend Nadine Sutherland I know sound too bad but think about it it is legendary I mean you've been in this business for over 40 years most people can't say that yes yes yes it's going December I think it's the last Thursday in December it's gonna be 43 years yeah I won tasty talent contest when I in December. It's going to be 43 years. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Yeah, I won Tasty Talent Contest when I was 11 in Jamaica. I love to boast. I was the first winner. There you go. And then immediately I started working with Tuff Gong, and at the helm at that time was Bob Marley. So I had the wonderful experience of working. My first recording session was with Bob.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Who can say that? My first record was with Bob Marley. Immediately say that because sometimes I still pinch myself. Tell us how it was getting into the industry back then and how your grind was and the journey was when you first started off. It was so natural and a little bit easy for me
Starting point is 00:04:39 because I was always the little girl singing on stage, singing around the community. I guess I was considered somewhat a little bit precocious. Grandmother catch me singing on stage singing around the community so I guess I was considered somewhat a little bit precocious grandmother catch me sitting on a jukebox and give me two slap in my head it was you know young ladies were not supposed to be able to move their waistline like how I did as a little child you know and then somebody saw me and um it was somebody in my community who entered tasty talent contest and he came back and he was like, Nadine, I think it would be good for you. And I did it.
Starting point is 00:05:07 The first round, I won. And in the second round, the grand finals, which was in December, I won. And part of my prize was a recording contract with Tufkong. Bob at that time was alive. That was his vision. Because, you know, if you know Bob Marley's story, I heard from my father that his name, The Wailers, because they willed so
Starting point is 00:05:25 much because of the pain that they experienced through you know some unscrupulous producer so he wanted life for younger artists to be better so he facilitated that with his stuff gone you know at that time Bob a big superstar and everything so I got that opportunity as an 11 year old girl recorded my first song starvation on the line he was in the studio because you know I was his little project I didn't spend a lot of time with him because you know after that he I think he transitioned the next year went on to Zion yeah so that was my start and I was just you know I want a talent contest and I went in so at a time it wasn't
Starting point is 00:06:02 really difficult you know I gotta ask you this because obviously we know you from Terra Fabulous the song action yeah how old were you when you did that song I think I did a song I that was I call that my second comment I did that song action was probably done when I was 23 as a demo okay and yeah, it was a demo for me because at that time I went to London. I auditioned for Soul to Soul. Karen Wheeler left. The whole story behind that. I was the girl that was chosen to be the front girl.
Starting point is 00:06:34 The managers hated each other. And I think hate is very mild. They... It was like they disliked each other. There's no word to describe that. So, you know, my manager then suggested that I come back to Jamaica and do dancehall, which was okay for me, you know, because that was my culture. They were trying to steer me into a more R&B line.
Starting point is 00:06:57 So I came back to Jamaica, did action as a demo for Dave Kelly. But what happened is that the rhythm just took off in the dancehall. So if you see the journey of action it's very very very strange you see initially it was knitting Sutherland and Terra Fabulous because I was out there before the dancehall of the 90s came I was a child star in the 80s so it was released in Jamaica then was released in the ethnic market. And then Terra got signed to East West Electra. So because it was their artist, they had Terra Fabulous. But then they asked me to come in the video.
Starting point is 00:07:34 And I'm a trained dancer. So I said, yeah, I'll come in the video. I'll go in the video. And I took on the responsibility of getting the dance together, the choreography. Because I did modern and ballet and African and dance all dance. So I was like, yeah. so they only had terror fabulous but i think i showed up and showed out oh yeah yeah and by the time they what they signed me so initially when it burst in the scene it was terror fabulous and then after when this time you see the terror fabulous featuring nadine sutherland so that's a history of action and it's still being a history can't believe that is yeah
Starting point is 00:08:10 did the double a for a Kamala Harris for her campaign I did with action I was asked and yeah I did yeah did you get paid the money you supposed to get paid back then cuz I especially all the artists, it just felt like records just kept coming, and nobody was signing them, and they were just dealt plates, and they were just taken off. Did you actually get paid royalties in publishing, things like that? I didn't write actions, so I wouldn't get the publishing.
Starting point is 00:08:37 But then when I found out about performance royalties, which as a performer on the song, I think it was a little bit too late in terms I do still get royalties which as a performer on the song I think was a little bit too late in terms I do still get royalties from action but I believed if I understood the business a little bit more I would probably a little bit richer okay which we ain't complaining we like money so now you also were on wiki-diki yeah classic song and I remember singing that as a kid not knowing what I was talking about Angela There's that's another story though with wicked the keto because we could Dickey it was we can I'm wicked and while a nice Wonderful song. Ooh
Starting point is 00:09:15 And booju had Dickey Dickey so I was in London One year and I was at my friend's house and I went to a Jamaican recording studio, record selling place and the man said, Congratulations. Record store. Record store. Mm-hmm. The man said,
Starting point is 00:09:32 Congratulations on your number one song with Buju Banton. I'm like, what are you talking about, sir? At that time, I think some institutional back in Jamaica, you should speak a certain way young ladies. I was like, sir, i don't have a song with boujou banton i'm saying my girl you have a song with bujuban and i'm like sir i do not have a song with bujuban and the man started to get angry and all kind of wheezing me and i'm saying by that time he was heated but i just never knew and when i heard my song and I heard ooh and then the
Starting point is 00:10:07 unmistakable voice the banter and going that's how I found out I was like you know when I go back to Jamaica now we said John Donovan German and we're happy talk with him that's how I learned that I had a song with called wicked dick and he won't perform that song anymore now right cuz I guess ever since you know he. And he won't perform that song anymore now, right? Because I guess ever since he came home, he doesn't do those songs? I have no idea. We haven't performed it.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Oh, really? I never knew that. I mean, I'm not sure if that's still true, but I remember at first they were saying he's not doing any of those type of songs. When I perform it, it's the funniest thing. I perform and perform my song, and then the crowd will nicely just do
Starting point is 00:10:47 boujee pop because it's such an iconic song. So I'm like, ooh, and then the whole crowd, they go, so I have no choice. We're thankful. Did that happen a lot where you put vocals down and then you come back three months later and then it's a single and you're like, oh.
Starting point is 00:11:03 That was the first time that has ever happened and you know who's complaining i mean that has become another iconic song of mine apart from action i would say after action is wikidiki yeah how were you protected in the industry at such a young age at 11 years old you know being in this business which can be really tough, especially for a young girl, too. So coming up, like who was around you to make sure that you were good? You know, I must say there were definitely predators. Let me get it out there. You know, we have some sick people in the world.
Starting point is 00:11:36 But what I'm very, very thankful for is that I had a father and had a father who could see what I couldn't see. His eyes were accustomed to, I guess, how men would look at women. So I was walking around with, I'm an 11-year-old kid, come on, just getting into high school. So I'm very thankful that I had a strong male figure in my life that was a lion. He was a lion, you know, and I cannot thank him enough because I basically went through a stage of my life being able to be a kid and being unscathed by a lot of stuff that is in the music industry. Right now, even my comfort zone, you know, when I go anywhere, it's my family. I always say my posse, it's my family. So I keep it really tight in my life because I feel more comfortable, you know, just being around people who know me and, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:28 And I also. And I have to big up Mrs. Marley also. She had girl children. She had, you know, young women, Sadella and Sharon. So she understood about protecting young women. And at a stage of my life, along with my father, she was very, very protective. So I have to big them up. I saw you put was very, very protective. So I forbid them all.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I saw you put her in the video Queen. Yes, I did. And Miss Pat is in that video as well. Miss Pat, let's do that. Portia Simpson, who was the first Jamaican Prime Minister, first Jamaican female Prime Minister, and Babsi Grange. And I chose those women specifically because I felt that they embodied what the lyrics of Queen is all about.
Starting point is 00:13:06 And you too. I hear that you're going on to your own thing. Oh, yeah. Yes, I am. Be of yourself. That's right. And I'm excited because this Queen will be performing at Angela Yee Day. I just saw you two in Queens.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Yeah. Yeah. I was like, oh, wait, is that Nadine Sutherland up there? I wasn't sure if they were playing your music or if you were performing it at first. And I was like, oh, she's really here. I had a great time on that show at roy wilkins right the vp um jerk fest yes still living it because i got a chance to bubble i was like oh my god any opportunity to wind up myself is wonderful do you still enjoy it you still enjoy traveling and performing and getting on that stage whining and dancing i do and do. And, you know, I'm really thankful
Starting point is 00:13:45 like every day for me as a performer is a blessing because I basically I'm able to do what I could do years ago. I'm a trained dancer. I'm into exercise. Your knees hurt though at all?
Starting point is 00:13:54 Not one way. That's amazing. Not one thing. Not one thing. But I protect it because I know that, you know, it's like it's getting there. It's like, okay,
Starting point is 00:14:01 now I'm going to do the extra squats. Yeah, right, right. But every day is a blessing for me. Even like I was saying to my friend from VP, Neil, I was like, okay, now I'm going to do the extra squats. Yeah, right, right. But every day is a blessing for me. Even like I was saying to my friend from VP, Neil, I was pinching myself. I was like three years ago, I did my master's. I was the director for the performing arts at a school.
Starting point is 00:14:14 And here I am, I'm on The Breakfast Club. Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm like, I never even thought in my life that at this stage that I would be still in music. So I would say music chose me. It's like my destiny. And I'm just a little small part in it just being played out. And when it did slow down, because obviously it did slow down. Yeah, man. What did you do during that time? Because it feels like...
Starting point is 00:14:35 You said school? Go school. Got a master's. You went to UWE, right? Yeah, I went to the University of the West Indies. And I was like, okay, so all right. You know, you have to change course. Right now it's
Starting point is 00:14:45 a different kind of life and i basically sat in the space of acceptance and i was like okay if this is what you plan for my god this is what it is and then the phone started ringing again i don't even i don't even know what happened i can't even tell you what happened i know that it was coming up to nadine 40th 40 years that I was in the music industry. And I guess, you know, teaching got disrupted. That's another story. That's another story. And I went home and I'm like, I owe it to myself.
Starting point is 00:15:15 I owe it to my legacy. I owe it to the energy of Bob. I owe it to the energy of Rita, of all those people who stood with me, my parents, to celebrate my 40th year. It was going good. The machinery was going. And then all my friends, I was going to have this big show in Jamaica. Spraga said yes. Vegas said yes.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Marcy said yes. Third World. I was really psyched. Corporate Jamaica was coming on board. And the wonderful thing, COVID come. COVID hit. Goodness gracious. COVID just come.
Starting point is 00:15:44 And then Jamaica said, COVID mushed up up my life it did mush up my life but you know like for one week i was knocked down because the reality of that the 40th year and everything that was i was planning and then i don't know what happened this was old music started releasing i started doing interviews and i i did queen because i thought that Queen exemplified my life and a lot of women's life and the story of what we have been through. And I don't know. I'm here this morning. I don't know. I can't tell you.
Starting point is 00:16:12 It's like there's no way. I can't tell you anything. So how impressed were your parents when you were 11 years old? And did they get to meet Bob Marley and come? Oh, God. My father. My father found old. I bet.
Starting point is 00:16:23 He found old because, you know, my father, you know, back in the days, well, still is a Pan-Africanist and, you know, then had Rastafari ideals, became a Rastafari later in his life. So, you know, he's a man of the 70s and if you understood the cultural context
Starting point is 00:16:40 of what popular culture was, it was like a lot of Rastafari, a lot of Pan-Africanism. So he was a man of his time so when he met Bob when I was 11 when I met Bob so I was like mm-hmm okay Bob Marley my father was like basically wanted to kiss his feet because that was his hero you know so I don't think mommy I don't see my mother met Bob but my father sure yes. Your father definitely did. Yes. I got to ask you, what is your diet? Like, you look amazing. Just to see, just even from when you were younger up until now, like, what's your self-care routine?
Starting point is 00:17:12 My self-care routine is, I say I'm a flexitarian. So I can go vegan for a while, and then I eat seafood. But I don't go over, I'm not an excessive eater and I'm not an excessive eater of carbs. I don't smoke and I take my red wine in the evenings. I don't excessively drink. I drink a lot of water and I dance back in the day. So I still go dance classes. I still go to the gym.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I still do a lot of cardio because, you know, especially now that I'm getting back on stage and when the music hit me, I feel no pain. I love to dance and I love to entertain. So that too. But I think a lot I have to do in my mindset. I'm a meditator. I'm into spiritualism.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I remember I wanted to see Shadamani. I was going to say that interview he did with Deepak Chopra was so impressive. So I really try to keep myself in a zone of positivity and just like I believe that good health is a holistic thing. It's a mind-body thing and I'm into all of that. So I think that has helped me. When did you realize you made it?
Starting point is 00:18:17 What was the first time that you were like, wow, I made it? Was it in this video? You know, I didn't make it yet. You made it. No, she made it, yes yet when did you realize was it your first show was it your first show in London in the US it was it I'm never even feature like what was the first time you like wow I mean I got a little minute even think someone make it because my career has been you know seen
Starting point is 00:18:38 so many highs in so many lows there's so much more that I want to do as an artist so and if I think that you make it, I don't, when you think you make it, you don't work as hard as I do. You don't go on stage and perform like I do. So I don't want to get in a space that I am complacent and I think I've made it. I want to go always in a space like what can I do to improve myself? What can I do to be a better performer? Okay, so the wind, I could wind a little bit more right there I could I shake it right there could I do something more okay so I go out doing my vocals I'm like okay so okay that song you know like some people they can't deal me when
Starting point is 00:19:14 I'm doing my vocals because like you're so excessive I'm like this is gonna be on record for the rest of my life so I don't think I've made it because I don't want to get in that space. I'm making it. Now you talk about whining, right? So as a young girl, you know, young girls whine. Yes. In America, I guess they would twerk. Yeah. The other day I guess somebody was performing at a high
Starting point is 00:19:37 school and people had a problem with her. It was Erica Banks. If she was 23 years old. I didn't have a problem with it because when I was in high school, my wife was whining on her head. You know what I mean? That was the dance back then. I didn't have a problem with it because when I was in high school, my wife was whining on her head. You know what I mean? That was the dance back then. I didn't see anything wrong. So what do you tell?
Starting point is 00:19:51 Because even you said your grandmother or your mother popped you when you were whining. So what do you say to those people? Because that's culture. You know, the funny thing, I did cultural studies. And one of the things that I recognize is what you call cellular memory. And people who have Africa in them, and that don't necessarily mean that it's in your blood, but it's also in your culture. You know, like some places of Latin America. I notice a lot of people whine.
Starting point is 00:20:17 We whine. We use our buttocks and we twerk. People who are exposed to that kind of culture. Unfortunately, people see through different lenses. And, you know, you see it and it's associated with a kind of life. And unfortunately, it is usually complemented with a certain lifestyle. I knew when I was whining, I just could dance. And I thought it was wonderful.
Starting point is 00:20:42 And I think sometimes a lot of young people who are whining is something that, as I say, cellular, it's cultural. They just whine and people see through different lenses. And sometimes it's some Victorian lenses and it don't necessarily mean that it's, you know, sexual. Right. But then in some sense, when you look at where it came from in terms of sex, let's speak honestly with sex. There is a lot of stuff with sex. Sex is a very natural thing. Being sexual is natural. I guess there are narratives that they associate it with,
Starting point is 00:21:15 and I guess in some sense when you associate sexuality with certain narratives, it becomes this darkened, evil thing, which it's not. In Africa, it was celebrated as something as natural so when you do like that it's life this is all you came this is all I came it's a part of life sexuality is a part of life unfortunately some things are no attached to it I believe in time and space and understand that irrespective of we can intellectualize it and have this explanation, society dictates certain things.
Starting point is 00:21:46 So there's time and space. And I don't believe in some sense that in certain spaces, certain things should be done because of certain attachment to those actions. So I don't know what happened. You're giving me a very, very wide thing.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Don't just ask about the dance. I was just giving an example. Okay, the dance. Why not we? What about going to carnival,ival right and so let's just say you know my man goes to carnival and then i see video of him all up on these girls and he's like no it's nothing that's just the culture of it and that's that's the culture of it but again you know i don't know if my mind got carnival let me see my hoom-pom-pom-pom woman, me go, appreciate it. Let's be honest. It's like, okay, honey.
Starting point is 00:22:29 So, no. And you're not going to let anybody grind up on you? No. What about daggering? No. No. You're not going to dagger me. You're not going to wind up on me.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I believe in some sense that if I choose somebody to dance and dagger with, probably I'm from a different kind of age group and a different kind of mentality, some sense that if i choose somebody to dance and dagger with with you know probably probably you know probably i'm from a different kind of age group and a different kind of mentality but i don't want no man come behind me and come dug on me or whatsoever and not for entertainment purposes at all i was going to ask what are your thoughts on afro beats because afro beats niceness niceness it comes from dancehall it feels like right yeah know, it's amazing to see just everything in terms of culture and the influence of, as I say, Africa. Because dancehall is where our music is concerned.
Starting point is 00:23:14 It's the most African in terms of the speaking and the rhythm. And to see that it go right back to Africa and it's the same thing. So you're just like... It was exciting when I heard Afrobeat. I was like, look at the world. It's always this mixture and people listening and people ingesting stuff like it's like it was exciting when i heard afrobeat i was like look at the world you know it's always this mixture and people listening and people you know ingesting stuff and then reproducing it and it's just so exciting and then new cultural forms new cultural forms always
Starting point is 00:23:35 emerge and all of that i sound like a cultural studies scholar all right i don't know what do you like today like what young art younger artists are you like, okay, they're next. I would love to work with them. Well, Coffee is next. She's doing what she's doing. I love Coffee. I love everything about her as a writer. Some of Shanshia's songs I like very, very much.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Like, I like Chronix. Chronix? Chronix. I love Chronix. Nowadays, you know, some of the stuff that Jada Kingdom does. I mean, I have one and I guess some people find it obscene, but I find it's very creative. I can look at a work of art and I am not a woman who likes a lot of profanity, but I can see artistry in music. And I really like her new song.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I can't say the acronym g p p i like thames who thames who named them you probably heard the song she's on the essence song with where's kid she's like she's an afro-biz artist but i'm gonna check her out probably i hear her and i don't know her name Because a lot of artists I know Their songs But I'm not really familiar With their name Because it's so unimportant
Starting point is 00:24:48 I just was always Yeah she's on the Essence record She starts off the Essence record Okay cool I'll check her out man And who was your Mount Rushmore of dance hall artist So I'm stuck in the 90s
Starting point is 00:24:58 Alright That's cool I'm stuck in the 90s Okay in the night is okay terrible fabulous mm-hmm terrible fabulous one more I like bounty his essence and his presence and everything that he comes with and Mr. Miserable back in the days. He had that unique voice. Yeah, the voice and the whole posture
Starting point is 00:25:32 was, you know, that menacing thing. I think that, you know. So you love the verses with Bounty Killer and Beanie Man. Oh my God. One more, Beanie Man. I have to put Beanie Man. That verses was my, oh my goodness. It was way inanie Man. I have to put Beanie Man.
Starting point is 00:25:46 That Versus was my, oh my goodness. It was way in the pandemic. It was in the pandemic. And when that Versus came, I was a happy woman. Cause you know, I was on my veranda and I was skinning notes
Starting point is 00:25:55 and I was brooking notes and it lifted my energy so much. You know? I feel like that was the best Versus that they had. Cause that's the culture of Versus. Definitely one of the best. Just coming from dancehall, like Vers verses is basically like a sound clash.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Dance hall, sound clash. Yes. I'm glad you, you know, you see that link. It was so incredible for me. I just remember. And the police kept coming and knocking. Like that. You want to be that guy?
Starting point is 00:26:20 When B-Man said, I want to be that guy. You want to be that guy? Don't be that guy. It was like, wicked. I love B. Yeah. I was like, don't be that guy. Don't be that guy. It was like, wicked. I love B. I love B. I saw Snow did an interview with Vlad and he was talking about how Anything For You, how that song is really, and at first it was just you featured on that song. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And that's what really got him to cross over where they respected him in Jamaica after doing that song because he was going really hard. He's from, I think, Canada. Yes, he's from Canada. So how did you end up getting doing that song because he was going really hard. He's from, I think, Canada. Yes, he's from Canada. So how did you end up getting on that song? I was signed to East West Electra and they were about to put up my project. That's before, I don't know what politically happened at that time in my life.
Starting point is 00:26:56 So they thought that, you know, after Action to feature me on Snow, which, you know, had a big hit with Informa, it would be nice, you know, to expand my market. So I ended up on that song, Nadine Sutherland's Snow. Toot, toot, to expand my market. So I ended up on that song, Nadine Sutherland's Snow. Toot, toot, toot, toot. I'll never forget that song.
Starting point is 00:27:09 And then they had the remix. Oh, my God. And I have to put up, they showed up, but they showed out all the lyrics that you heard and the performance was done right there.
Starting point is 00:27:21 They taped, they wrote, they DJ, they did everything and filmed at the same time. So that's why sometimes when it comes on to the 90s artists, I tend to be like I'm just like giving them the honor and the praise because I see
Starting point is 00:27:36 them in their mastery and especially at that moment. You coulda give your heart to mine and so right on the spot. That was done. So they just wanted me to show up being cute. And you're good friends with Tanya Stevens too, right? I can't say she's my good friend.
Starting point is 00:27:55 We respect each other artistically and we respect each other as women. I love what she has done in being very honest and candid about her journey in terms of you know Being an abuser and taking control and you know taking control of it artistically. I mean as a writer She's just there and she read me too. So we read each other as women can't say she's my friend I'm not gonna go to her house. She don't come to mind But when we see each other is mutual respect and love because she's one of our best Were there other women in the business that you actually would consider like that's my homie?
Starting point is 00:28:31 To tell you, one woman that I would consider that is my homie is Lady G. We don't see each other a lot, but she's a very, very nice person. As I said before, I'm not a person who you see a lot. I don't. I tend to be with my family that's my comfort zone so even like some of the industry stuff sometime I really don't even go you know I just show up yeah but on stage now you'll think I'm a party girl I'm good at watching videos and so that's it so I'm not really what lady G in terms of she's a very sincere and
Starting point is 00:29:04 beautiful heart that's she's really I'm not really a Lady G in terms of she's a very sincere and beautiful heart. She's really, really a beautiful person. Now, before you came back to Jamaica, like you said, to do Dancehall after you had left, what type of music were you supposed to do? He thought I was supposed to do some R&B, some Whitney Houston stuff, because he thought I somewhat had a voice for that. Which the songs didn't sound that bad.
