It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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,
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
I revisited one, Simonon who worked with soul to
soul i revisit he did an album and i got to do the song i actually auditioned for soul to soul
and got the part i did it on the album i don't remember the name of songs so many things happened
in my life so you were going to be part of soul to soul i was i was going to be the next karen
wheeler that's right oh yeah you did say yeah Okay. So what should people expect from you this weekend?
Of course, it's Angelique Day.
She does this each and every year.
And what should the people expect from you?
Well, they should expect me.
Be bringing who I am.
I love performing.
I love my stage.
I love everything that I do.
Whining and dancing and singing.
Now, last year, Angelique was a grandmother out there whining. She and singing. Now last year, Angelique had a,
it was a grandmother out there
whining.
She needed some help.
I think you should do some.
Well, she was with Noah Poa
and she definitely got on the ground
and was going crazy.
Are you serious?
I think you should do a class before,
like right before,
you teach people how to whine
and then you go in.
All right.
I probably have a whining competition.
I might do that.
Yes.
And can guys whine?
No, guys can't whine.
Of course they can.
I always see guys whining, especially now.
It's okay.
Back in the days, men and men never did want to whine.
It's just like, you know.
They stayed up.
Yeah, I was just like, no, only women whine.
It's changed so much drastically because I'm seeing men whining,
and they're doing a very, very good job of whining so

Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
