Winning Right Now
Since it’s release in April 2017, Agent Sasco’s “Winning Right Now” has been … winning.
International airplay, dominating international charts, year end accolades. In fact, “Winning Right Now” by Agent Sasco has cemented itself as a Jamaican Anthem for 2018 and beyond.
One of the more meaningful accolades was when Agent Sasco’s alma mater performed the hit during Jamaica’s All Together Sing choir competition!
Inspirational. Motivation. Uplifting. Beyond the accolades, these are the moments that have made Team Upsetta and Agent Sasco’s camp the most proud and moved by the anthem’s success.
New York Robotics Competition
Courtesy of the Jamaica Observer:
“FIRST Tech Challenge teams are invited to design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format. Guided by adult coaches and mentors, students develop STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) skills and practice engineering principles, like keeping an engineering notebook, while realizing the value of hard work, innovation and sharing ideas.
Teams must also raise funds, design and market their team’s brand, and participate in community outreach. Participants have access to millions of dollars in college scholarships and each season concludes with super-regional championships and a FIRST championship.
President of the JC robotics club Javaughn Thompson told the Jamaica Observer that, over the two years he has been part of the club, he has seen exceptional growth among his team members.
“We are coming from a place of not knowing anything about robotics. Now we are exposed to that, team-building and leadership skills. Also, it is not just a technology-based club or competition; it caters to marketing and business, raising funds, [and] community outreach. So that, coupled with our exposure to science and technology, is a good package,” he said.”

JC Robotics “Winning Right Now”
Courtesy of the The Jamaica Star:
“Agent Sasco’s ‘Winning Right Now’ has somewhat been an anthem for the Jamaica College robotics team that recently won the Inspire Award at the qualifiers of the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) at the Dalton School in New York, USA.
Jason Brown, faculty adviser, teacher, and first form year supervisor, said that as part of the competition, each team had to set up a booth and showcase the culture of their home country. He said that the boys decided to play music in their efforts to give others a taste of Jamaica.
“We did not plan to play that song specifically, because we have a playlist. We were flinging our shoulders, doing the Lebeh Lebeh and the Flairy, playing Chronixx, and so on,” he said. “When that song (Winning Right Now) came on, we realized that everybody was feeling it and it really made an impact. The song is one that naturally motivates you, and with the boys determined to win, it was just perfect.”
