S2E10: Divine Beats: Gospel's Fresh New Sound

In today’s episode of the Cloud Record Music Podcast, we have the privilege to hear from the incredibly talented Jamaican gospel singer, WD Sappleton, who is known for his unique blend of gospel, hip hop and soul. Hailing from Maypen, Jamaica, WD’s career has been shaped by the influences of gospel legends like Shirley Caesar and reggae icon Bob Marley. With a background in secular dancehall, WD’s transformation into a Christian artist is both remarkable and inspiring. His music serves as a beacon of hope, particularly his new single “The Day,” featured on Favor Zone Production’s Suddenly album. Breaking into the gospel music industry led him to face numerous challenges, but his unwavering faith and creative process have kept him moving forward. His mission is to engage younger listeners by blending traditional gospel with contemporary dancehall rhythms, proving that even those facing negative perceptions can find redemption.

 

In this episode, you will learn the following :

  • WD Sappleton’s stage name stands for Well Done, inspired by the biblical phrase, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
  • New single, The Day, was inspired by divine guidance and has a unique beat that blends various musical styles.
  • Make gospel music more appealing to younger audiences who might find traditional church settings unappealing. 
  • Use of energetic beats and powerful messages to inspire youth to explore their faith. 
  • Fulfill fatherly responsibilities and overcome financial hardships.
