The ministry of Garfield Reid began in the year 2003 when a confirmation came from God that he should be a Musical Minister of the Gospel. Currently the ministry of Garfield Reid has four (4) musicians, two keyboard players, a base guitarist and a drummer, three of which were formally known as the Anointed Brothers Gospel band, and one new member added to the band during last year.
He also has three Backup singers; two of them have
been working with him for over two years and the other one has been
working with him for just little over a year.
Garfield
Reid is a worshiper by nature and he currently does songs such as; ‘I’m
Walking in authority’ by Donnie, others such as ‘Bow down and worship
him’, ‘Falling in love with Jesus’ and ‘When the Spirit of the
Lord’ by Fred Hammond. Gods’ willing He should be releasing three
original songs this year, one entitled ‘Pray’ which should be released
by late June early July. His two other original songs which are; ‘Christ
is Real’ and ‘Hail Hail the New Born King’ will be released for
September and late November respectively. Also there is a song on the
radio titled ‘King Jesus Reigns’ by Blessed and Garfield Reid on
the Mainframe rhythm. This song has been getting a lot of air play in
the past couple of months on Mega Jams 98fm and Love 101, as well as
it also on the Mainframe CD which is currently in stores.
Garfield’s
sole purpose is to minister not to entertain, he prays that during or
after he has finished ministering that someone’s life will be change
by the words of the songs and more importantly by the testimony that
comes before the songs. He has always believed that the song needs to
minister to the artiste before it can touch the hearts’ of others.
Garfield
has also been a part of other ministries such as the Portmore Vision
Gospel Choir from late 2003 to early 2005. And has ministered with them
at ‘Genesis 2004’ at Jam World as well as other events such as ‘Choir
Fest 2004’ and most recently ‘It Soon Be Done 2005’ in November
at Cinema Two in New Kingston.
During
the course of last year Garfield’s ministry was under the agency known
as Aramac Communications, Entertainment and Bookings, Which is Headed
by Camara Rowe and the Flagship of the Company being D.J. Nicholas.
However, he is now on his own with his own Label even though he hasn’t
gotten a name for it as yet and his own P.R.O/Booking agent who is Miss
Kerrica McGregor.
All
of whom Garfield has worked with in the past he still shares a good
personal and business relationship with, for He is no longer a member
of the Portmore Vision Choir, however, the Director of Portmore Vision
Choir, has called him to come and minister with them from time to time.
He also shares a good personal relationship with Mr. Camara Rowe who
is the Director of Aramac Communications, Entertainment and Bookings,
for they talk on the phone every couple of months as Mr. Camara Rowe
continues to help Garfield in certain areas of his ministry.
Garfield
Reid is currently a Third year student at the University of the West
Indies Mona Campus, where He majors in History and Minors in Political
Science. He’s not sure what kind of job he wants to do in the secular
world but he’s positive that he will continue singing for the lord.
The
Lord has surrounded me with talented and wonderful God fearing people
who looks to Him as their only source of shield and refuge each day,
I pray that you may give me or my Booking Agent Miss Kerrica McGregor
a call so that we can be apart of your event, as we look to lift the
name of Jesus higher and bring lost men, women and children to the saving
Grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
