OFFICIAL BIO
When the Lord led Rico to form Shekinah Ministries Sound System in 1996 it was seen as very controversial because many Christians believed Reggae music had no place in the church and neither did a sound system playing with 18 inch speakers. Some Pastors told members of their congregation not to attend Shekinah outreaches for fear of being corrupted. But just as Jesus did not come for the righteous, Shekinah was not built for the Church! There were no qualms in going against the grain and breaking through barriers as far as the church was concerned.After organizing a series of free outreaches in the city of Birmingham U.K., It soon became clear that Shekinah was tapping into something unique with regards to spreading the gospel. The fruits of this were many accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Presently the Sound System consists of four key members, Spanna (The Tool in God's Hand, Who is also a recording artist; Miller the Selecta; Brother Keith (The Poet) and Singing D, the singer who has been likened to the late Garnett Silk.
The Shekinah Sound System has played alongside top Gospel Reggae artists like Stitchie, Junior Tucker, Chevelle Franklyn and Judy Mowatt to name a few... They have also been privileged to link up with top secular sound systems like Stone Love from Jam Down and Luv Injection from the UK.
