She eventually recorded her first song My Boy Lollipop, a remake of Milly Smalls’ added with notes that complimented its’ original.

Makedah has harmonized for a variety of artists such as; Bush Man, Anthony B, Diana King, Junior Jazz, Sister Carol, Bigga Haitian, and Fred Locks to name a few and appeared on numerous venues including Twelve Tribes of Israel stage shows.

SISTER CAROL

Born and raised in the ghettos of Kingston, Sister Carol had an early influence by the music scene from being close to her father who worked as a engineer at Jamaica’s radio station, RJR.  There she met many prominent reggae contributors including Studio One’s legendary Clement “Coxsone” Dodd.  Her family migrated to America where she continued her education, and maintained a strong connection to her culture.
  Sister Carol began her musical career, following in the footsteps of one of her mentors and friend, DJ Brigadier Jerry.  The thriving dancehall scene of the ‘70s welcomed her rich blend of style and culture.  Her influence was so positive, it placed her in the spotlight and she was offered an opening slot for one of Jamaica's finest vocal trios, The Meditations.
  Not long after, she recorded her first two records, Liberation for Africa and Black Cinderella, then Tuff Gong label released Isis-the Original Womb-Man.  Since then, she has made over 8 CDs, including her 1996 release, Lyrically Potent, for which she received a highly regarded Grammy nomination

 The industry calls for Sister Carol in more ways than one, for instance, she appeared in two Jonathan Demme movies, Something Wild and Married to the Mob, made several television appearances including, NBC's David Lettermen and Late Night With Conan O'Brien, and then there are the countless articles written about her work in publications such as Billboard, and the Village Voice.  To add to her versatile style, she was the familiar voice, as MC, behind Night Music with David Sanborn.

  If you haven’t heard him yet, get ready to be awaken by the positive lyrical content, infused with the upbeat sounds, reminiscent of his Ethiopian experiences.

“Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, And he shall yield royal dainties”
(Gen, 49:20).

“When man takes spiritual understanding conscientiously into all the affairs of life, he does far better than he ever has done theretofore.”
(Meta.-Asher)
 

 
 Love God, live love, and your light will shine.  This is the message that comes from singer/songwriter Bazil Gayle who, from the Tribe of Asher, started his musical career performing for the Twelve Tribes of Israel stage shows in Kingston Jamaica.
If the voice could be compared to a texture, then Bazil Gayle a.k.a. Asher Visionaires’ voice would be silk.  With his debut solo title track called Shine Your Light and another tune called She, his lyrics are ever uplifting.  Featured on the Shine your Light compilation CD, which is a production of Selassie I Brothers in Association with Orthodox Muzik,  He is also a featured artist on Sister Carol’s self produced album called Tribute to Studio 1.
 
Though this is the first time that Bazil will be performing as a solo artist, he is a veteran in the entertainment industry as a member of the world reknown group Visionaires, who still puts out one hit tune after another. Songs like I will follow Jah, and Sweetness which was No. 1 in 2001 for Plush label otherwise known as WRTN-FM Link Up Radio with DJ Squeeze broadcasting from New York, Visionaires deliver the message of universal love.  Visionaires performed in Canada, Jamaica, and New York City on numerous venues and graced the stage alongside notably artists like the legendary Robert Nesta Marley, Dennis Emmanuel Brown, Fred Locks, Freddy McGregor, Persuaders, and Burning Spear to name a few.

 Being a member of The Twelve Tribes of Israel, Bazil Gayle gives credit for all that he knows to the teachings of Dr. Vernon Carrington a.k.a. Prophet Gad who said, one should read The Old Scofield Study Bible, a chapter a day, with a clean heart and an open mind. In it one will find the truth for their self.  Also with the bible, read the Metaphysical Bible Dictionary, and Philosophy & Opinions of Marcus Garvey.
 The substance of true spiritual bread is emanated by Bazil Gayle in his lyrical content and sweet melodic voice as he causes wisdom and understanding to harmonize in the state of consciousness.
