OverReacting

“Earn Yo Sleep” is the motto Grammy & Emmy Award winning singer-songwriter, Cocoa Sarai lives by. Raised in a musical family, Cocoa has worked with Grammy Award-winning artists and producers such as Dr. Dre, Anderson .Paak, Busta Rhymes and many more. Lending her song-writing skills to television’s Academy Award-winning director Lee Daniels, Cocoa has been performing since the age of two. Citing Mary J Blige, Tina Turner and Lauryn Hill as her biggest influences, inspired by her West Indian heritage, her church roots & her love for hip-hop, this Brooklyn, NY-bred, Jamaican-American songstress with three independent albums under her belt is establishing herself as a creative force to take note of. 

After relocating to Los Angeles in 2018, Cocoa began working with producer and mogul Dr. Dre’s legendary Aftermath Records, which resulted in her meeting superstar Anderson .Paak. Building off of their creative chemistry, Sarai eventually contributed to eight of the 14 Songs found on the “Am I Wrong” artist’s 2018 album OXNARD & even dropped a rap verse on the Dr. Dre-featured “Mansa Musa” She also lended her vocals and pen to Paak’s latest album VENTURA, which is up for Album of the Year for the 62nd Annual Grammy’s Awards. 

“It was fun,” says the former contestant from hit show The Four, when discussing her experience working with the “Malibu” artist. “I got to be myself.” 
Currently splitting her time between songwriting and finishing her upcoming project.

Don’t be fooled by the youthful appearance and soft voice—DebbyCathrine’s music might just leave you deep in thought, slightly emotional, and Googling the instrumental.

The Congolese writer and artist experiments boldly across soul, hip hop, electronica, and whatever feels true. Influenced by Michael Jackson, Cleo Sol, and Kanye West, her sound resists labels—and leans into freedom.

Often linked to the Nigerian alté scene for her genre-fluid style and introspective edge, DebbyCathrine brings a faith-rooted Congolese voice to the mix—using music as a form of quiet rebellion, reflection, and self-discovery.

Since 2017, she’s used songwriting as a way to explore her own journey, experimenting with different sounds and storytelling techniques. Her releases from 2020 onwards—including What Are You Waiting For, Beloved, Unsolved Mysteries, Be More, and Wes’s Genee: The Soundtrack—weave personal growth, fictional storytelling, and spiritual undertones into each track.

Just here sharing music of Artist/Producers I find dope in what they do!!

Love life, love music, love my kids and my Granddaughter - simple :-)
Some of my tracks maybe incomplete - but that's the art of music.
DON'T FORGET...ALL MY TRACKS ARE DOWNLOADABLE (click on the MORE button) but remember though, they are copyrighted :-)

I spend about 6-8 hours a day on here in between work and sleep and I can honestly say that there is far more talent on Soundcloud than can be found on any street corner or TV show. I am very grateful for my followers support and for the many musicians I have chatted with on here. I salute those who give it their ultimate best, I applaud those who never give up and I credit DJ's, whose tireless dedication to the art of joining not one but many records together to make a party atmosphere seem like one long holiday.
I would like to thank Alex Ljung and Eric Wahlforss (the creators) for giving us Soundcloud but most of all, a chance for all musicians good or bad to unite as one and share our passion for music. By listening to most of the artists on here it has given me a real surge to do what I have loved for 40 years...make music for the world to hear. 

I hope you like the tracks I have created and I WILL flourish into a more competent musician and produce more better and durable tracks for you all to listen in the future.

God Bless you Soundcloud,

John Neilan :-)
