STAGGABAKK — DROPS WOT A GWAN
UNITED Kingdom-based deejay ‘Staggabakk’ is banking on music to be his game-changer after enduring “a rough period” in his life.
Born Christopher Sappleton, he recalls a tough childhood in Spanish Town, St Catherine. Things changed for the better when he moved to the UK at age 14 in 1999.
“All I’ve ever wanted to achieve while growing up is to be heard and taken seriously and music gives me the opportunity to do this. I believe through my songs, people will get to understand my journey and know who ‘Staggabakk, is,” he stated.
His moniker comes from a Jamaican ‘sweetie’ he favoured while living in Spanish Town.
He wrote and co-produced his debut album Wot a Gwan, a 14-track set that includes the track Mamas Bwoy and his latest song, Evidence.
“This album is me finding my feet, getting to know who I am and where I stand as an artiste. I wanted to prove to myself and all who doubted me, that anything is possible if you put your mind to it,” said Staggabakk.
