Rashid Walker\u2019s \u201cGreat and Mighty\u201d Earns Grammy Consideration<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Antiguan gospel artist Rashid Walker<\/strong> is once again in the Grammy conversation, with his latest single \u201cGreat and Mighty\u201d<\/em> officially submitted for consideration in two categories\u2014Best Global Performance<\/strong> and Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals<\/strong>\u2014for the upcoming 68th Annual Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walker announced the news in a Facebook post, expressing gratitude to the Recording Academy and to Grammy voting members for the opportunity. \u201cI am deeply humbled and honoured for another opportunity to share my music with you,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The song, inspired by Revelation 7:9<\/strong>, explores the question of what praise and worship music might sound like from a Caribbean perspective. \u201cIn God\u2019s Kingdom representation still matters,\u201d Walker noted, explaining that \u201cGreat and Mighty\u201d<\/em> was written as an answer to that spiritual inquiry.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He extended special thanks to his collaborators, including producer Mahli Benjamin<\/strong> and steelpan musician Amarni Gomes<\/strong>, both fellow Antiguans who are also credited for Grammy consideration in the arrangement category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walker\u2019s nomination adds to the growing recognition of Caribbean gospel artistry on the international stage.<\/p>
