Eleuthera, The Bahamas -
After making history as the first Eleutheran to launch his album outside The
Bahamas, landing some of the most coveted performance spots on the local hip
hop scene and blazing his way through Canada with a Toronto tour, J.Chase is an
overcomer returning home to share his mission, his ministry and of course, his
music.
A few years ago, Craig Gibson left
the island to pursue a career in the IT field. What many didn’t realize is that
he left with a hidden passion for music. That passion ignited the spark that
fueled out 11 tracks to create his first album Send Me which has several
singles in heavy rotation in The Bahamas and abroad. Now he’s ready to come
back home as J.Chase (abbreviation for Jesus Chaser) and leave a seed of
inspiration with an up and coming generation.
J.Chase’s debut album features
appearances from industry veterans such as Dunamus Soundz CEO Lavard ‘Manifest’
Parks, IceBerg, V-Mac, Dano Rolle, GanGreen and Prophetic Voices. J.Chase has even landed some major interviews
and gigs including a nationally televised session on Grace TV, Canada’s version
of America’s TBN.
“I am excited to be coming back to
Eleuthera as an overcomer,” admits J.Chase. “An overcomer is a person that is
successful in dealing with a problem or a difficulty. I overcame a lot of
things and I am now in a place to share my experiences. Thanks to Freedom Records
Ministries and Extreme Youth Entertainment, I am able to headline my first
Bahamian concert in the place it all began.”
The Return of the Overcomer concert
is set for 7pm Friday, February 5th at the Wesley Methodist Church auditorium
in J.Chase’s hometown Palmetto Point. Concert goers can expect to receive $5
discounts off of his CD with their concert tickets.
J.Chase will also be bringing along
some friends to hit the stage including mime performer/dancer Lenelle Michelle
and entertainers V-mac, Ryan Jupp and Lyrically Blessed. Also gracing the stage
is co-executive producer and lead background singer on the Send Me album,
Tatiana Tinker, who happens to be J.Chase’s fiancé.
“We have a lot of talent joining us on
stage but prior to that we’ll be going into some of the high schools to allow
the students to get to know us and why we do what we do, how they can pursue
what we do and just make positive and sound decisions in their lives,” said
J.Chase. “Growing up on Eleuthera, we didn’t have a lot of sources of new
inspiration outside of Bahamian track star Chris Brown. Now that I’m out there,
I want to come home and show them that if someone they know can do it, they can
do it to.”
And done it J.Chase has. The young
man who grew up on an island with about 11,000 people now has his music heard
by millions via iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, LimeWire, Napster, MySpace and even
as ringtones through Nokia. For just $5 per ticket, Eleutherans will get to
hear what the world is embracing with J.Chase’s music. Concert goers can also
expect to receive $5 discounts off of his CD with their concert tickets.
Tickets are available at (242) 332-1180 or (242) 470-4875.
