How did Popcaan Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on July 19, 1988, in Saint Thomas, Jamaica, Popcaan was raised in Portmore, St. Catherine, where he developed a strong interest in music at a young age. Wanting to make himself known in the music scene, he approached Jamaican artist Vybz Kartel at a local event in 2007. From there, he was taken under his wing as a member of his music group, Portmore Empire. Shown the ropes, Kartel eventually took him on to events such as such as Reggae Sumfest and Sting.
Over the next few years, he worked on several songs for Adidjaheim Productions including It Nuh Work So, Dream, Hot Grabba, Ganga City Part Second, and Jah Jah Protect Me. Eventually, his hard work paid off. In 2010, he received a breakthrough with the release of Clarks, a collab that he did with Kartel. A commercial success, it went on to earn him an EME Award for “Best New Artist” in 2011.
From there, the DJ released a few mixtapes including Hot Skull, Fry Yiy, Boil Brainz, and Yiy Chage. Still, it wasn’t until 2014 that he landed a music deal with Mixpak Records. That same year, he dropped his major label debut, Where We Come From, which gave rise to the hit single, Everything Nice. Well received, it had debuted at number two on the Billboard Top Reggae Albums chart.
Though he hasn’t released any new records in a while, (according to reports, he’s currently working on his second title), he has been featured in several singles over the past two years such as Kyla’s You Ain’t Mine, Naughty Boy’s Should’ve Been Me, and AlunaGeorge’s I’m In Control.
In addition to what he makes from his records, he also embarks on concert tours on a regular basis. Not only has he performed in the US, but he has also entertained crowds in South America, Canada, and Europe. Speaking of which, he has a couple of shows planned for later this summer in London and Toronto. For more details, you can check out his official website.
