And  "REVOLUTION"  her third release, 2018. that you can still hear championing on the David rodigan BBC 1xtra show. Her distinctive smooth soulful Lovers Rock sound can be described as being reminiscent of Lauren Hill and the strong delivery compared to Diana King.

"SYCORAH" was born Simone Samantha Daley to former teacher Desmond Daley and Singer Barbara Brown. She is the second of four children raised in Kingston 11, Jamaica. Her music career began in 2009 with an introduction to legendary Reggae producer Bobby Digital. She recalls, “Bobby Digital said I had a "fresh sound" and we started working together that very same night, in the studio.” She enjoyed working with Digital and went on to complete her first single "Satisfy You" (2010). It was brought to life on the airways by radio disc jockey Mighty Mike. The song played over the Tantric Rhythm on Irie FM.

Sycorah was inspired by her parents. Her late mother was a Dancehall artist known as “Sneaking Rachel.” She managed Sycorah’s music career until she died. Her last words to her daughter were "You're going to be a star." She also carries the words of her father who continues to be a forceful influence for her success. His motto of encouragement to her is “If you believe in something hard enough you will achieve it.”

In 2009 she recorded two dubs, "Healing" and "Your Fingers" these were later released  in 2010  by producer Mike Brooks on the Coptic Lion Record Label. She changed her name to “Sycorah” which reflected her decision to pursue a professional music career, and she says she felt compelled to reinvent herself. She later went on to work with Ernie Wilks on a single called "Keep It on the Low"(2010) on the Rude Boy Rhythm on his label Mistawilks Productions. She says "That song is a tribute to my life in the employment environment. I must tell you, it was very rough as I searched for work to support my self and my music."

She also worked with producer/singer Elijah Salomon from Switzerland on a single called "Tell Me How You Feel” that has been released (2018).  Sycorah is now in preparation for an upcoming tour internationally to promote her "album". And you can still see here performing on the tour
