It’s the 1️⃣ first ARTIST 🎵 of the YEAR! And I got the chance to connect with my new Brother in Christ all the way from Nassau Bahamas 🏝, @cliffordbigbruhriley @cliffordbigbruhriley242

About Clifford Big Bruh: Born in Nassau, Bahamas in 1970, Clifford Riley's love for music blossomed early. Inspired by his mother's records and church experiences, his musical taste evolved from gospel to soul to hip-hop. Influenced by artists like Hall & Oates, The Jackson 5, and Big Daddy Kane, Riley developed a passion for rap and dancing, earning him the nickname "The Bahamian Heavy D."

Riley left school and worked various jobs, including at the Sheraton Grand Hotel and as a golf course shuttle driver. He formed the group "Centerfold," which declined a record deal. Riley later joined "Black Juice," opening for acts like Biggie Smalls and Missy Elliott. He also launched his solo career with the song "Situations be like Dat."

Riley believes his music can inspire positive change and is now focused on his faith and his independent taxi tour business, "Kingdom Chariot." He aims to serve God and others wholeheartedly. ❤️

This week got the chance to interview the leaders of gravitymusicorg. You were able to hear a snip of their latest single last week. So glad we had the chance to connect and hear about all the things that God is doing for them.

About: Gravity Music is a vibrant and dynamic musical collective founded in August 2024 by Samuel Bimpong, a young Ghanaian musician with a passion for sharing his gift with the world. Inspired by a vision from God to bring people together across demographics and denominations, Samuel assembled a talented team of musicians, writers, and vocalists.

Their debut single, "O Come Emmanuel (Yah-Chant)," a Christmas medley released in December, showcases the group's energetic and spirit-filled sound. This uplifting track seamlessly blends classic carols like "Mary's Boy Child," "O Come All Ye Faithful," and "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" with original compositions "Yah Chant" and "O Come Emmanuel."

Gravity Music is committed to creating music that inspires, uplifts, and points people to Jesus. The group is always open to welcoming new talented young adults who share their vision and passion for music and ministry.

Stay tuned for more exciting productions from Gravity Music!
