Jamaican gospel musician Drew Da Levite is poised to unveil his inaugural extended play record, ‘Surrender,’ this coming April. This musical project represents a profound personal testament, chronicling his spiritual journey and the numerous challenges he has overcome throughout his life.
Despite maintaining a lifelong involvement with music, the artist—born Andrew Francis—commenced his professional recording career in 2023 with a divine purpose: to dedicate his artistic gifts to religious service. This vocational decision emerged following a powerful moment of spiritual conviction experienced during an album launch event.
Having embraced born-again Christianity at age 14, Drew Da Levite was deeply immersed in church culture from his youth. His unwavering passion for music naturally evolved into a ministerial calling. The artist credits his perseverance through adversity—including upbringing in a volatile neighborhood and humble beginnings—to divine grace and a strong sense of spiritual identity.
A native of Spanish Town, St. Catherine, the academically accomplished musician is currently completing his final year at The Mico University College, specializing in guidance and counseling. His forthcoming EP features collaborative production with renowned creators including Skyylark, Mattsonicc, Daley Beatz, Jamario Morgan, and Isaac Graham, with five of the projected six tracks already finalized.
Drew Da Levite describes his musical style as dynamically introspective, combining intellectually resonant lyrics with emotionally sobering compositions that evoke reflection, conviction, and gratitude. His authentic approach to gospel music stems from personal conviction, ensuring his artistic expressions remain genuine manifestations of his faith journey.
