Artist Statement
Rhoan Dell: is a Gospel Music Artiste/Minister
Why I chose to do Gospel Reggae as a part of my ministry, is that I grow up listening to a lot of Bob Marley, Bunny Anderson, among others.
Gospel Reggae allows me to express myself in ways that I couldn’t have by just mere talking,
I get my inspiration and motivation from the people, the way they respond to each song and my performances on stage.
The Lyrics that you hear in each of my songs are things that had happened, things that I see happening, and things that I would love to see happen such as equal rights for all people among other things.
My music means so much to me, firstly it helps to relax and keep me focus, and secondly it is my bread and butter, and most importantly it is what I used it to reach out to people, and talk about the issues affecting them.
My music is the voice of the people, no matter the race class or social back ground I use my songs to speak for them.
