In this episode of The Corie Sheppard Podcast, we sit with one of Trinidad & Tobago’s most respected and intentional soca artists — Nadia Batson.
Nadia opens up about her creative philosophy, explaining why she refuses to compete with her past hits and how trusting her instincts has led to songs like “Pieces” taking over TikTok and Carnival stages across the Caribbean. We dive deep into her songwriting process, the importance of knowing your audience, and how confidence — not pressure — fuels longevity.
The conversation also explores:
How “Pieces” became a regional anthem
Writing songs without music and trusting melody instinct
Stage nerves, performance dominance, and vulnerability
Building Art Form to reclaim creative control
The realities of Carnival performance, vocal strain, and technology
Why Nadia believes in building your own table in the industry
Her journey from background vocalist to frontline artist
The balance between artistry, business, and authenticity
This is a masterclass in creative confidence, Caribbean music culture, and sustainable artistry — straight from someone who’s lived it.
