Q & A released two albums . The first album , ‘ Think In Colour ’, was released in 2016 , the Second , ‘ I Feel ’, was released in 2019 .
Songwriting is a major part of what I do , and it felt good when I was awarded a finalist prize in the internationally acclaimed ‘ John Lennon Songwriting Contest ’ in New York 2019 .
Over the years I ’ ve been blessed to perform for audiences in many different countries , including Switzerland , Germany , UK , Italy , Austria , France , Spain and Canada . My band and I usually do an annual tour , almost every year except 2020 . Instead of touring , that year I hosted a number of virtual fundraising concerts and raised funds to support the Grenadian musicians while the music scene was completely shut down during the Covid pandemic . My team and I found new ways to be creative and started my musical project ‘ Sabrina ’ s Treehouse Concerts ’ in August of 2020 . A one-hour show held in the mountains of Grenada with a limited number of guests and streamed monthly .
I released 7 singles in 2021 and toured the UK , Germany and Switzerland . That tour inspired me to reach across the pond and try to establish my music in the UK , so fingers crossed . There is work to be done :)

Cocoa Tea . What motivated you to write this song ? Cocoa tea is a light hearted and easy tune about a memory that lives rent free in my mind . When I was younger , my mom always made us dinner after sunset . Many times , dinner would consist of cocoa tea and maybe bakes and salt-fish . She ’ d light the candles and the kerosene lamp , and my siblings and I would wait outside in the yard , passing time by story-telling or singing , these
