Sherwin Gardner Recognized at Caribbean Music Awards Event
Caribbean gospel artist Sherwin Gardner has recently garnered significant recognition for his remarkable contributions to Caribbean gospel music over the past three decades. His unparalleled achievements were highlighted at the second annual Caribbean Gospel Music Awards held at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, NY. Among the honorees were legendary artists like Marcia Griffiths and Cedella Marley, while the event also featured presenters like Shaggy.
Gardner expressed his gratitude for being acknowledged as the first Caribbean gospel artist at such a prominent event, underscoring the global reach and influence of gospel music from the Caribbean. This recognition reflects not only Gardner’s dedication but also the increasing appreciation for Caribbean gospel music on an international scale.
The awards took place on August 29, 2024, marking a pivotal moment in Gardner’s career, particularly after the success of his latest single “Find Me Here (Blessings Fine Me),” released in January of the same year. The song has generated over 1.6 billion views on TikTok and more than 18 million digital streams, showcasing a global hunger for the messages conveyed through Caribbean gospel music.
Gardner, accompanied by his wife Dr. Kristen Darville-Gardner and manager Indigo Grant, performed a few lines from his hit during his acceptance speech, revealing his commitment to promoting Caribbean gospel music worldwide. Following this celebrated evening, Gardner is set to embark on a tour across the United Kingdom in September.
