Reggae artist Gadi King is set to release his new single “I’ll Be Working” next week and working on his music is what he has been doing for some time.
Born of Trevis Carter, Gadi King grew up in Center Dam, Intent Tree, West Bank Demerara. As a boy, he remembered, he used to congregate in the street with friends and watch his uncle play songs on his jukebox. He also played with a group of friends who called themselves ‘The Tinning Cup Band’. They played Oldies, Reggae, and old-time Dancehall music. He and his brother used to spend a lot of time beating tin cans and later when he started attending Wales Community High School, he knocked on the desks there.
Gadi King had thoughts of becoming a pilot but teachers who built on his talent for singing always invited him to perform in school concerts. As the years wore on, his passion for music grew and he realized that music was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. “… Music catches me just like that and draws me in,” he said.
