Written and edited by Smokiller

Quan De Artist is the stage name of Jaquan Headley, a soca and bouyon singer who writes his own songs. His single "Waistline", on the PTP Riddim, won the 2023 Tune of the Crop, the Crop Over prize for the song played most often as the bands crossed the road on Grand Kadooment day. CBC reported that it was played 11 times, ahead of Chief Diin and of Leadpipe and Jus Jay. Speaking to CBC after the win, at the age of 21, he said he had already spent about eight years in entertainment across different styles and had a booking lined up in Canada. CBC also noted he is not to be confused with the former Pic O De Crop Monarch Quon. He returned with "Booty Clap" on the Energetic Riddim for the 2024 season, and "Don't Mix Me", produced by LsBeats767 and Litleboy, for Crop Over 2025. In 2026 he released "Do It Like That" on the Okra Slime Riddim, recorded and produced by 10Star Records and billed as bouyon.
