Agent Sasco, His Daughter LC, 8, Release “If Caterpillars Can Fly So Can I”
Dancehall star Agent Sasco has released a father-daughter musical collab with eight-year-old Lauren “LC” Campbell.
The heartwarming, inspirational track titled If Caterpillars Can Fly So Can I and its accompanying lyric video, was released on Friday, which was celebrated as Children’s Day in Jamaica and, so far Agent Sasco’s fans are not only loving it, but pointing out that it would be perfect for a Disney Children’s movie soundtrack and an ideal children’s graduation song.
“Today is National Children’s Day and I will celebrate the day in a very special way! A song featuring my own child!!! @thelcshow 😊 Inspired by @alvin.day and his amazing book “If Caterpillars Can Fly So Can I”. See it at 12 Noon!!! #CaterpillarsCanFly #GiveThanks…,” the deejay, whose given name is Jeffrey Campbell said.
The responses from the Winning artist’s fans have been filled with wonder and amazement, about LC’s exceptional vocals, and the switching between singing and deejaying by the duo in the song.
“Extremely beautiful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾,” his Dancehall/reggae compatriot Romain Virgo, himself a father of twin girls, posted in response.
“Chills all over…with a dad like Sasco, shine LC, shine❤️❤️❤️❤️,”

Both Sasco’s Instagram page and YouTube channel and his wife Nicole Mclaren Campbell’s Instagram page were flooded with declarations that the song was deserving of being featured in Disney children’s movie and this should be pursued.
“Disney have fi link you or some executive producer for some cartoons or something this one nah go suh,’ Pierre Bennett said.
“International cartoon movie deal coming..memba mi tell.yu!” silmadelbennett predicted while fontisha_gardner wrote: “I really do think her dad should push this song, Because it sound like something belong in one of those Disney animated movies 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️”.
“Why this sound like Disney gonna buy the audio for a movie song so 😢😢😢😢Awwwee @agentsasco @thelcshow nailed it😍😍😍😍,”

If the song does become featured as a movie soundtrack, it should come as no surprise as Sasco already has a foothold where that is concerned having done work for Paramount Pictures where he made his vocal presence heard in two soundtracks in the blockbuster movie Baywatch, in 2017.
Sasco was featured on two compositions in the Baywatch movie, Off the Jetty and Leeds – To the Tower in The Paramount Picture which starred Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Zac Efron.
As for the If Caterpillars Can Fly So Can I book author, Alvin Day, the past student of Edwin Allen High School and Knox College, said that it was his grandmother’s words of life that formed the concept behind his widely acclaimed book.
The Frankfield, Clarendon native who is the founder and Executive Director of Global Empowerment Institute said, that he “grew up in a poor household with his grandmother after his parents migrated said he did not have the privileges or the “respectability of people around me, and in fact, many people didn’t expect me to make it.
“We didn’t have electricity in our home. I studied for my exams using lamplight—Home Sweet Home! We didn’t have running water so I used to bathe in the Rio Minho to go to school,” he said at a presentation of 26,000 copies of the book valued at approximately US$129,000.00, to public school teachers in Jamaica on Read Across Jamaica Day.
“My grandmother would say ‘Don’t worry about the children who tease you. You may look like a little caterpillar on the outside, but you’re going to grow up to be a good man one day, if you trust in God and do the right things. You are going to burst out wings and learn to fly. Because of that, I was able to grow up and pursue my dreams,” he added.
Day had also encouraged teachers to take exceptional care of the children that fall under their supervision.
“Take solace in the fact that in your hands you have the next generation… Treat them well. Do everything that you can, because they think of you as a parent, friend, counsellor and guide. You have an important role in shaping the next generation and I want to encourage you, when the pain is hard, remember that you too have wings and you can fly,” he said.
