Shadracq sets sights on mainstream success with upcoming EP

After years of recording songs for established producers such as Castro Brown and Philip “Fatis” Burrell, Shadracq is preparing to release Freedom, his first EP. It contains the lovers rock ballad, Sunshine Lady.

Because much of his time has been focused on Freedom, Sunshine Lady is the veteran singer’s first release for 2025. The song is produced by D Stone Productions. Shadracq has great expectations for the song and EP.

“I am enthusiastic about the upcoming Freedom project and this first release as well. Sunshine Lady is poised to become a love anthem and even a wedding song because it’s talking about pure love,” he said.

Born Ainsworth Prendagast in St Thomas, he was raised in Portland and Rocky Point, Clarendon. As an aspiring artiste, Shadracq developed an appreciation for the music of Dennis Brown.

In addition to Castro Brown and Burrell, Shadracq also did songs for Henry “Junjo” Lawes, whose Volcano Records helped shape the modern dancehall music movement during the 1980s. In recent years, his songs include Calling and a cover of Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes’ Wake Up Everybody.

With Sunshine Lady, he is looking for a mainstream hit.

“Shadracq is always looking for that big breakthrough. Every artist is looking for something bigger than himself from his music which is a hit,” he said.
