Waydiann McDonald wins Popeyes Music to Your Mouth Song Competition
The recently held awards ceremony for Popeyes Music to Your Mouth Song Competition saw Waydiann McDonald (also known as Pebbles) walking away with the champion’s prize of $250,000 and the career starter opportunity of having her song professionally produced and made into a high-quality music video.
She also won the first-place trophy and $25,000 in meal vouchers courtesy of Popeyes for her original song “Free My Mind”.
Noting that this year’s competition attracted over 70 entries Oshane Thoms, Popeyes Brand Manager said the judges — Ruption, Qyor, and Zimi Nick — had the difficult task of shortlisting the top 10 and then the top three after social media selected the Top five.
Thoms also expressed that the song competition is creating a platform for the success of Jamaica’s young musicians and will help transform contestants' lives.
“We are not just giving cash prizes but creating the platform for success for these young musicians through collaboration with some of Jamaica’s best in the music industry. We are not doing this for the optics but to create meaningful transformation in our contestants’ lives.”
