ArtistRack brings to you ‘Cover Me’ by the talented Gordon Wyatt:
Born in Princes Town, South Trinidad, Gordon Wyatt was exposed to music and song from the age of five years old. He first had his encounter with music from church that his parents attended which being a part of the then choir and school choir at St. Stephen’s Anglican Primary School which participated in at that time competitions at Naparima Bowl.
Mostly, from early adolescence spanning into his teenage years became more apart of gospel music being in church. Although during that time had the vinyl records of Bob Marley and other such artistes being played by his father and also listened various genres including reggae, reggae conscious, R&B, dancehall, soca, calypso, rap, alternative pop and rock which did have some influence on his style and effect. Inspirational music though, being his preferred taste, often found himself listening to groups and artistes like Melchezidek Order, Sherwin Gardener, Jadee, Isaac Blackman and Royal Priesthood like Gitta Dan which would be heard blasting from his personal stereo as his music of choice. While in a church worship team role had a particular mix of local gospel dancehall reggae rap and soca. Later on, after leaving school and while working, began singing in concerts and other events hosted by Leon Williams and the Redeemed Messengers Gospel Group at Naparima Bowl. During this time furthered his knowledge in basic theology at Apostles Ministries.
Having a natural voice for singing wanted to further his own style and message and began writing his own songs. Longtime friend and work colleague Wayne Perkins who had managerial experience with previous artistes like Turner and Pternsky offered to assist him in pursuing his goal and enhancing his natural ability, asked him to compose a song and see what he would bring to the table.
With the desire to fully express his side of the story, he wrote his first song and immediately recorded it. Gordon has now began to bring his message the way he wants and hopes to inspire true positive vibes in every line he writes…
