Jamaican Gospel Recording Artist - Jermaine Edwards

Published: Oct. 27, 2020, 7 p.m.

Often described as a Reggae Gospel Artist, Jermaine pays homage to Jamaica’s strong musical heritage but is not constrained by it. Energetic or soothing, his style is influenced by a variety of musical genres. Born in St. Andrew, Jamaica to Bishop Rowan Edwards and Pastor Janet Edwards, Jermaine grew up surrounded by Christian teachings.

His first album ISLAND WORSHIP: A Jamaican Experience, was a collection of traditional worship songs; well received by local audiences. This 2004 album was followed by ISLAND WORSHIP 2: A Closer Walk in 2006. Tracks on this second album were inspired by his quest to draw closer to God. DESTINY, his reflective sophomore album released in 2009, won five awards at the 2010 Caribbean Gospel Marlin Awards: Song of the Year for Make You Smile, Album of the Year, Reggae Vocal Performance of the Year, Engineered Recording of the Year and Producer of the Year.
