Rashid Walker’s “Great and Mighty” under consideration for a Grammy

Antiguan gospel artist Rashid Walker has once again captured the attention of the Grammy Awards, with his latest single ‘Great and Mighty’ being submitted for consideration in two prestigious categories: Best Global Performance and Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals. The announcement was made by Walker himself in a heartfelt Facebook post, where he expressed his gratitude to the Recording Academy and the Grammy voting members. ‘I am deeply humbled and honoured for another opportunity to share my music with you,’ he wrote. Inspired by Revelation 7:9, ‘Great and Mighty’ delves into the unique Caribbean perspective of praise and worship music. Walker emphasized the importance of representation in God’s Kingdom, stating that the song was crafted as a response to this spiritual inquiry. He also acknowledged the contributions of his collaborators, including producer Mahli Benjamin and steelpan musician Amarni Gomes, both of whom are also credited for Grammy consideration in the arrangement category. This nomination further highlights the growing recognition of Caribbean gospel artistry on the global stage.
