Upcoming Singer Sycorah is getting much love from listeners of the very popular The Foundation Radio Network, as her single “I Can’t Sleep” is put in rotation by host Clinton Lindsay. According to the veteran broadcaster “I got an email from this young lady whom I have never heard of, and she went straight to the point saying she’s looking for some help and exposure…She sent me a few songs…and I am going with “I Can’t Sleep” for now…she was told about me by another artist who is familiar with my work…I was impressed with what I heard and asked for a bio and picture…. I told her I believe she has great potential and I will do whatever I can to help her…”

Sycorah was born Simone Samantha Daley to former teacher Desmond Daley and Singer Barbara Brown. She is the second of four children raised in Kingston 11, Jamaica. Her music career began in 2009 with an introduction to legendary Reggae producer Bobby Digital. She recalls, “Bobby Digital said I had a “fresh sound” and we started working together that very same night, in the studio.” She enjoyed working with Digital and went on to complete her first single “Satisfy You” (2010). It was brought to life on the airways by radio disc jockey Mighty Mike. The song played over the Tantric Rhythm on Irie FM.
Sycorah was inspired by her parents. Her late mother was a Dancehall artist known as “Sneaking Rachel.” She managed Sycorah’s music career until she died. Her last words to her daughter were “You’re going to be a star.” Sycorah also carries the words of her father who continues to be a forceful influence to her success. His motto of encouragement to her is “If you believe in something hard enough you will achieve.”
Sycorah is one of the scene´s breakout stars, she keeps it authentic; mixed with that old soul depth and mystical balance. Sycorah released the first single and official video for “Skin” (2017) from her forthcoming album “Rustique Energy” which is set to be released in 2019. “Skin” is produced by Delroy “Phatta” Pottinger from Phat Trax Records in Jamaica. He also produced her secound release “Undercover Lover” (2017). This single became the hot new scorcher on the David Rodigan Show on BBC 1xtra (2018) the official video for this track, and also a live version video on the BBC 1Xtra is available on YouTube channel.U
In 2009 she recorded two dubs, “Healing” and “Your Fingers” these were later released in 2010 by producer Mikey Brooks on the Coptic Lion Record Label. She changed her name to “Sycorah” which reflected her decision to pursue a professional music career, and she says she felt compelled to reinvent herself. She later went on to work with Ernie Wilks on a single called “Keep It on the Low”(2010) on the Rude Boy Rhythm on his label Mistawilks Productions. She says “That song is a tribute to my life in the employment environment. I must tell you, it was very rough as I searched for work to support my music.”
She also worked with producer/singer Elijah from Switzerland on a single called “Tell Me How You Feel” that has just been released (2018) Sycorah is still working on her forthcoming album and is in preparation for an upcoming tour internationally.
The world will certainly be hearing more of this distinctive voice, with the help of Clinton Lindsay.
