ABOUT THE SONG

Sutherland explores themes of self-discovery and staying true to oneself in My Rebel Spirit. The song reflects on the idea of embracing one's inner rebel, with Sutherland stating, "I’ve felt like an outsider at different times in my life, and the spirit in me has always been slightly rebellious. I’ve come to realize that being a rebel or an outsider is not such a bad thing. Just stay true to yourself, and you’ll stay on the right path."

The music video brings this message to life through the journey of a musician, played by actor Jordan Talledo, who embarks on a quest to find his place in the world.
