For over 15 years, Sayles has been spreading the gospel through music, with a strong team beside him which includes his wife Sharilyn. Together they have released several singles and collaborations, among them It Will Get Better, What A God, If I Be Lifted Up, We Shall Walk, You Shall Not Die, and The Best Is Yet To Come.
Growing up in the tough inner-city community of Arnett Gardens in Kingston, Carey Sayles was impacted by happenings around him.
“I believe it made me a little more aggressive during my early life… I wouldn’t back down from a fight. I also had a few near-death experiences, where a man was killed beside me while playing cricket. And, despite several shots being fired, I was not injured. I even almost drowned while on a beach trip when I was young,” Carey Sayles told the Jamaica Observer on Friday.
Carey decided to give his life to the Lord at a young age.
“It was me wanting to surely follow Jesus and to be a part of his church… That’s what made me decide to become a born again Christian,” he said. “I felt it was the leading of Jesus that brought me into ministry. Some of the advantages include helping people find the Lord, seeing my music get people through some really hard times, seeing people’s lives being impacted by the music that I sing. Hearing people saying one of your songs save their lives or help them through recovery [and] travelling the world ministering have helped me personally in my faith. As for the challenges, it can be rough on my family, by me not being around all the time.”
A past student of Kingsway High, Carey later studied business administration at Northern Caribbean University in Manchester. He graduated in 2004.
“My wife suggested that we do a collaborative album after I shared a couple of songs with her, and I felt like the Lord was leading us in that direction,” said Carey.
He is among the line-up of acts billed to perform at Arise 2025, which takes place on Sunday April 20 at the National Arena. Popular American southern gospel group The Hoppers, Gospel Proclaimers, H.U.M.B.L.E., Vennica Nicholson Reid, and Kingsway Alumni Reunion Voices are also scheduled to perform.
