Driven by a passion of "purpose" to creatively drive the word of God into the hearts of youth, gospel-dancehall artiste Perry InChrist is leading by example. Raised by both parents while being guided to walk the straight and narrow by his strict grandmother, the artiste, given name Perry Cummings, said it was inevitable for him to walk the path of righteousness. "Church was always right in front a mi [yard], suh mi always affi jump di fence and guh church.
Suh it was very easy going to church. I didn't really get to go out much because my family kinda sheltered me a lot. Suh it was really just church, or mi guh shop guh buy two pounds a rice and come back inna di yard; but it was good," he told THE STAR .
"I was brought up in an old-time Pentecostal Church. I had to go to church every Sunday, [where] I got involved in preaching [and] the children's choir, suh it would be very amiss of me to go in music and guh sing 'bout choppa and gun," he added. The Christian Walk singer shared that even his stage name was inspired by the Bible.
"It was taken from 2 Corinthians 2:17 that says 'For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ '. So I [interpreted] it to say it's not about Perry, but about Perry being associated with Christ and knowing I was brought up in church. So I have that influence on my life, and it should reflect through my music and my day-to-day operation," he said.
