A budding Jamaican based singer/entertainer is a self-described country girl and proud that she started off in the church and now branching off into a wider genre of music with the help of her father.
Gail Mullings, known simply as Gail, told Caribbean Magazine Plus that she started singing for her church choir after being dragged to sing a solo for Youth Sunday and has not put down the microphone yet.
She said: “I’ve been singing basically all my life. Of course, it started in church. It usually does start in church.
“I used to be a part of the choir, and I did. I really didn’t know that I could sing. I was just very involved, but then one day, my Dad volunteered me to sing a solo on a Youth Sunday. And from that time on, I couldn’t sit down in church and every Sunday I come to church them haffa let me sing.”
Humble beginnings from a country girl from Jamaica and her genre of music is fitting to her personality as she describes it as “melodious music.”
Gail added: “So, that’s basically where I started and my dad plays the lead guitar, so we used to play a lot of functions and stuff. And then we eventually, kind of met other persons who, played the keyboard and the drums, and we formed a band called Cure of Souls. And it grew until we started performing along the south coast of St Elizabeth, because since he’s where I’m from, I’m a I’m a country girl and a proud country girl.
“We started performing along the south coast of St Elizabeth, so Jack Sprat, Southfield Lovers Leap and all of those little resorts. We performed at weddings and banquets and dinners, stuff like that. So that’s how, that’s how I started in the music industry.”
Gail has done cover songs like Someone Loves you Honey by J.C. Lodge and countless others renditions when she performs. She also has a current extended play (EP) out that fans can find on multiple music streaming apps. “I’ve been doing music all my life, as I mentioned, because it really started as a little girl, singing in church, but in terms of going in the booth and actually recording a song for myself that first happened in about 2018 so if you’re considering from 2018 till now I’ve been taking it more seriously.
“That’s how many years so just about eight years in the formal music industry, and in terms of the genre I love, it’s anything soulful.
“One of the things that I was most concerned about was not being identified as a Dancehall artist and not being boxed in just because I’m from Jamaica or I have to be a Dancehall artist in order to make it, so to speak.
“But I like singing, really expressing my vocal talents and showing my vocal flexibility and my versatility and my range.
“So, I like more soulful stuff. I like the reggae. I like the fusion between different genres as well. So, if it’s like a reggae-hip hop, or a reggae pop, or even like an Afro or even like some Spanish in it, or anything that’s more on the soulful side of things, something that I can really use to express and to show my vocal ability.”
