Two years after making her musical debut with a cover of the popular American gospel standard ‘Hear O Lord’, singer Stacey Mirander offers a blend of country and reggae on her romantic ballad titled ‘Call You Mine’.
“The inspiration came from the vulnerability and unconditional nature of real love. The idea that someone could love you not just despite your flaws, but through them, asks for both grace and deep emotional labour,” Mirander explained, adding that the song’s lyrics were derived from a personal experience.
Mirander shared that country music–and music in general–has always played a significant role in her life.
“While I don’t claim to be a traditional country singer, my artistry is deeply rooted in the cultural influences I grew up with. Icons like Dolly Parton, Charley Pride, and Johnny Cash have left a lasting imprint on me, not just for their music, but for their storytelling,” she said.
“What I love most about country music is its raw honesty. It has a unique way of expressing both the greatest love and the deepest heartache, often within the same song. Through my own creative work, I aim to channel that same emotional truth–blending tradition with my own perspective.”
Originally from Mitchell Town in Clarendon, Mirander attended Clarendon College. She later studied overseas, earning a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice administration and later, a master’s degree in educational studies from the University of Phoenix. Her passion for music developed from an early age.
“Music found me when I was six years old. One Saturday evening, my mom (who was a member of the Jamaica Poets in Unity) took me to Dub Club at Old Harbour Primary School where musicians, poets, artists, and dancers came together in perfect harmony–riddims pulsing through the air, laughter weaving into the rhythm. The energy was electric, alive. Lascelles ‘Guitsy’ Beckford asked if I wanted to sing a song. I said yes. And in that moment, I fell in love–with music, with performance, with that feeling of connection,” she shared.
Mirander said that for years, music lived quietly inside her, an old love that she had put on pause.
“It wasn’t until 2024 that I truly realised I had a gift for songwriting and singing. The turning point came when I started writing and doing small performances, and the reaction I received from people around me was overwhelming–in the best way. Their encouragement gave me the confidence to embrace my voice, my story, and my sound,” she said.
“Now, I’m creating from a place of honesty and passion, drawing inspiration from my own journey and the emotions we all share. My music is a reflection of growth, resilience, and the power of rediscovering your purpose–no matter when it happens.”
