Product of Change: Grateful Co’s Journey from Block to Big Stage

Grateful Co has one of the realest stories to ever hit this chair.
In this episode, we sit down with the Bajan artist behind “I Like Her Too,” “Living Fast,” “When Last,” and “Center” to talk about way more than music. This is a full testimony on the block, bad decisions, gunshots, jail, God, fatherhood, and finding purpose.
🎙 In this conversation, we get into:
Growing up in St. John and chasing music from Junior Monarch days

How the girls, the hype and the hustle first pulled him toward entertainment

When the music money wasn’t making sense and the streets stepped in

Getting caught up in war, being shot in the back by police and living with the bullet to this day

Jail time, loneliness, and the first “click” moment when his daughter was born while he was locked up

The emotional battle of trying to be a present father when systems, family and past choices are against you

How he found his way back through God, gratitude and a second chance at life

The meaning behind his name “Grateful Co” and why he calls himself a “Product of Change”

His dream to start a Product of Change foundation to help youth, ex-offenders and anyone trying to escape the cycle

This episode is for:
Anyone who thinks they’re “too far gone”
Fathers fighting to be in their children’s lives
Youth flirting with the streets
People who judge from the outside but never really listen to the story


If you ever needed proof that anybody can change, this is it. 💎
