Although born in the US Godbless considers the UK his second home, as his grandparents were among the first from the Caribbean island of Grenada to settle in England during the early 1960s.
With a father in the RAF he moved around a lot during his childhood but particularly remembers his grandfather the ‘Mighty Sir Roger’, a well-respected carnival superstar in Grenada as a strong inspiration in his life.
Growing up listening to Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan, Brand Nubians, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, GodBless began to eat, breath, and sleep Hip Hop and soon connected with what he sees as his ‘God given gift’ to write, perform and produce music.
The single Dreamer was inspired by seeing the vision he had as a boy come to fruition at a time when London was being bombed during the summer of 2005 and is taken from the album For You And Yours due out later this year.
The album is produced by Godbless and his brother eVerlution and they plan to release it on their own independent record label Soul Cipher. The brothers chose to go the independent route rather than look for a major as they wanted maximum control over their output, and through the music aim to project a positive message that lyrically deals with the more social conscious issues within the Hip-Hop genre.
As well as co-producing the album with Godbless, eVerlution is an International athlete and will soon receive his Doctorate (PHD) in social work & counselling.
