Jamaican singer Acain, who recently appeared on Auntie Donna’s Facebook Live Stream Love Connection, got the biggest shock of his life when he received a note from international singer, Major, for performng one of the American’s hit songs.
Major, a Grammy nominated international artiste, has enjoyed moderate successes, as his single, “Why I Love You”, has peaked at number 5 on the Adult R&B Billboard charts.
The R'n'B singer congratulated Acain on a rendition the Jamaican did of “Why I Love You". Acain, whose real name is Adrian Klane, told the Star Gazing with Shaun Cain Show that he was at home one day and decided to sing and entertain himself. He said he recorded a video of himself and his son singing the song and posted it on social media. The Jamaican was ecstatic when he realised the video instantly went viral, attracting more than 50,000 views within just one week, which eventually climbed to 100,000 views in a month.
Major, who was born Major R. Johnson Finley in Texas in the United States of America in 1984, eventually saw the viral video and shared it with his family. According to Acain, “I even got a call from the original artiste, Major, and he commented on the video to say, oh my god, this is my favourite,” Acain explained. The Jamaican added that Major congratulated him and told him that he sang the song really well and he [Major] was in tears when Acain’s son started hitting the notes. “It was a pleasure hearing from him,” Acain revealed.
The video of Acain and his son singing “Why I Love You” has so far amassed more than 15 million views worldwide on both the Facebook and YouTube platforms combined.
Acain currently hosts live streaming events on Facebook where he shares his vocal gifts with the world. He has managed to attract more than 360-thousand followers on Facebook alone.
