Gospel artists such as Stitchie, Junior Tucker, DJ Nicholas, Blessed, Cheville Franklyn, and London based - King Arthur, George Banton, George Nooks, Carlene Davis, Robert and Jeneve and Papa San represent a new clear approach to gospel music. These resilient singers and songwriters have demonstrated their abilities to deliver both cutting-edge reggae, dancehall and soul stirring songs, most of which have changed the lives of people, who have been exposed to their heartfelt music, both secular and gospel.
Their music has also impacted on our rhythm driven youths, this is no ordinary achievement, considering the fact that their musical cathedrals dubbed "Dancehalls," attracts every imaginable character in our society bar none. The dancehall also caters to every aspect of music including gospel, of which the big gospel hits such as Marvia Providence “Its Raining” are usually introduced to the people by the dancehall fraternity, long before radio and television airs it.
Despite the derogatory remarks that have been hurled at dancehall supporters by some of our churches, the dancehall fraternities stand in solidarity. They are resolute that the dancehall is a mirror, a true reflection of the inner whims and fancies of the society they live in. The fraternity express themselves through their dance, music and through fashion.
