Jamaican gospel singer Chevelle Franklyn will be performingin Kenya on October 8 at the Nairobi Baptist church Ngong Road. Chevelle has emerged on the gospel music scene as one of the most outstanding Ministersof Music over the past nine years. Her insight as a songwriter/producer, vocalcapacity as a singer, and her anointing as a worshiper has ensured her successas a leading, international, multiple award-winning Psalmist.
As a child prodigy in the industry, Chevelle recorded her first single – HereI Am produced by Rohan Harrison – and it was released in her early teens.Public reaction to its debut was incredibly positive and indicated thatChevelle had a future in the industry.
Nurtured by some of the top names amongJamaica’s music producers, Chevelle soon marked out a distinctive territory inJamaica’s dancehall culture scene. Her future took a rosy turn when she beganworking with producers Mikey Bennett and Rohan Harrison. She recorded her smashhit Nice And Naughty, followed by another single, No Pushover in 1992,again produced by Mikey Bennett.
This led to collaborations with household names such as Shabba Ranks Mr. LoverMan in 1991. In 1997, Chevelle hit a lucrative opportunity to record theinternationally acclaimed Dancehall Queen with Beenie Man, for Island Recordsof which the soundtrack was used for the equally successful movie of the samename.
But despite the great success, there remained a gaping holein her soul. In 1998, during a concert, Chevelle, tired of the empty way oflife and hopelessness, suddenly declared on stage a change of direction in hercareer and lifestyle – she decided to become a Christian.
This is not Chevelle's first time to perform in Kenya as shewas part of 2005 Xtreme Weekend hosted by Nairobi Lighthouse Church attractingover 10,000 people and in 2009 at Kasarani Gymnasium.
