From Falmouth, Jamaica to the chilly Saskatchewan, Canada, gospel singer K-Anthony has woven a tapestry of melodies and faith that both comforts and challenges the soul. K-Anthony unravels the story behind his stage name, born out of an uncanny clash with another artist. His journey moves from a youth with sports on the brain to a musician with a divine calling, spurred by an incident that nearly claimed his life. The intimate bond with his brother, the wisdom of a nurturing family, and a pivotal push from his mother to fuse academics and melody at Northern Caribbean University are all threads in the rich fabric of his life's narrative.
Our candid conversation dives into the transformative power of Christianity and gospel music, akin to sharing the best-kept secret of a jerk chicken haven, and traces K-Anthony's bold leap from tropical Jamaica to the stark landscapes of Canada. Embrace the laughter and trials that come with cultural adjustments, and share in the joy of his musical milestones, including the triumphs of his album "Arrow" for which he won the 2024 Juno Award for Gospel Album of the Year. K-Anthony's tale is not just one of success and spirituality; it is also an anthem for anyone who has ever dared to dream—and then dared to do.

Mikelah (00:04):
Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of
the Style and Vibes podcast withyours truly.
If you are new here, welcome tothe family.
If you are returning, welcomeback family.
Today we have a special guest.
I know I say that all my guestsare special.
All my guests are special.
Okay, they are because they arehere with us and that's how I
see it, you know.
(00:24):
But it's our first gospelartist.
We have not had any gospelartists on the podcast and we
focus on everything Caribbean.
So, thank you, welcome to thefamily.
K Anthony.
K-Anthony (00:37):
Thank you, thank you, thank you for having me.
Mikelah (00:39):
Is that your real name , k Anthony, or is it an initial
and a middle name?
K-Anthony (00:44):
You know Jamaican people still have about three
names, so tell us the the backstory behind the name so
interestingly, um, the backstory behind this the name is
the fact that my original nameis Kevin Anthony Fowler and so
when I started doing music Iused to go by my name, kevin
Fowler.
But uh, sometime after anartist who's a country singer
(01:07):
reached out to me and said hey,how are you?
Said I'm good.
He said I think we have alittle issue.
Said I actually registered thename.
We share the name, but heregistered it as his artist name
and he's big.
So I said okay, no problem,that means I'll have to change
it.
And I was thinking what I wasgonna call myself or um, have as
(01:30):
a artist name, and the ideacame to use my first initial
from kevin and then use mymiddle name.
So I put it k hyphen anthony, kanthony.
That's how we came about.
My producer at the time said Ilike it it has a nice ring to it
(01:52):
.
Mikelah (01:52):
Yeah, so you ran into legal troubles, changed it and
now you like it all over again.
All right, sounds good, soundsgood, sounds good.
So you grew up in Fomal Jamaica.
Please tell me about yourupbringing and what was it like
for you growing up in Jamaica,and what was it like for you
growing up in Jamaica?
K-Anthony (02:05):
So Jamaica is fun.
As you know, I grew up close tothe beach Pretty much.
I lived only two places, inthree places in Falmouth I lived
on Cornwall Street and then onPitt Street, which is behind the
parish church.
For most persons who arefamiliar with Jamaica, it was
fun.
I only have a sibling.
His name is David.
(02:27):
I attended Falmouth All Age,where I was known as a track and
field athlete, where my raceswere 100 and 200 meters, and so
that was where my foundationbegan.
I attended Falmouth Seventh-dayAdventist Church, got a
scholarship to William Nibb, andmy mom thought it would have
been a bad idea to send me toWilliam Nibb, so she sentenced
(02:50):
me to a private school inMontego Bay called Harrison
Memorial High School.
At first it felt as if it was asentence, and as I continued
growing, I understood what shewanted me to do was not just
focus on the abilities that Ihave, but more so to own my
skills academically, and so thatwas one of the main reasons she
(03:15):
sent me to Harrison, and ittook me some time to settle.
I was very rebellious towardsthat.
It took me some time to settledown, but I did.
And after finishing HarrisonMemorial High School, I wanted
to become an agronomist and shehad contacted the institution
but they weren't accepting atthe time.
So I think it was God whoinspired her to say hey, have
(03:39):
you ever thought of studyingmusic?
And she said at least study fora year.
And I got enrolled intoNorthern Caribbean University
but, as you asked, found smalltown.
Mikelah (03:52):
Um yeah, it was a wonderful experience so it's
just you and your brother, andwhat was the age difference
between you and your brother?
Uh, we're three years apart, ohso fairly, so fairly close, so
fairly close, very close.
So tell me about in yourtransition to studying music.
Why was your mom so inclined tohave you study music?
(04:16):
Is that something that you'vealways shown an interest in
growing up?
K-Anthony (04:22):
When I was transitioning from here, they
call it elementary wastransitioning from elementary
school to high school, and Ithink on the last few days at
elementary school I decided tofollow some friends to go
swimming and I almost drowned.
My brother was actually sittingon the shore watching me in
(04:46):
this difficulty, and so a friendof mine in the class.
Well, I prayed.
I said God, if you should saveme, I'll give you my heart.
I tell people this was my firstencounter with who God is,
because before that I would moreunderstand God from my mom's
perspective and only experienceGod through my mom, through my
(05:07):
parents.
And I could only remember that.
The pastor said if you haveever been in difficulty, you can
call on God.
And I did first time.
And out of the blue, a friendcame running telling me not to
give up, and I held on to thatand he saved me.
But I never saw it as just himsaving me, I saw it as god
(05:30):
providing someone to save me.
And, um, that was a big mark inmy life.
And so we had a discussionabout track and field and and my
mom said to me have you everthought about that?
God has another talent thatyou're just not aware of and I
kid you not, it's within thatsame time frame, about to enter
in high school, I found what Icould sing because a friend was
(05:53):
asked in church.
He was a bit timid and so heasked for support and I did.
And that was where the processbegan with music I would
practice every day.
So she would have seen that,she would have seen me
practicing every day.
But the focus was not more soon pursuing it from an academic
(06:13):
standpoint.
But I was singing in a group atchurch, I was singing in a
group in school and I was alsothe lead singer for the
graduation choir.
And so when she contacted theuniversity and realized that I
would have had to wait a year tobe accepted into a tertiary
institution, she didn't likethat.
So she for me I think it's Godthat's impressed her to say, hey
(06:37):
, why not study music?
And when she said it it waslike a light went off in my head
.
I was like that't work, becauseI've always been passionate
about it, and so I got enrolledin Northern Caribbean University
where I studied music and Ialso did communication.
Mikelah (06:53):
So in studying music, did you take to one particular
angle producing, writing, what,what was your, your thing as you
were studying?
K-Anthony (07:03):
I was a voice major.
Okay, um, and in being a voicemajor, you have to learn
instruments and stuff like that.
Mikelah (07:09):
So, yeah, I was a voice major and so when you
finished your schooling and youwere thinking about career-wise
how you wanted to to transition,was it always gospel?
I think it's probably aquestion you probably only get
as a gospel artist, but did youthink about doing other genres,
or was it always going to begospel for you?
K-Anthony (07:32):
It wasn't always gospel.
I started out doing R&B, Iwould say, and I had another
encounter where I was held atgunpoint, and that was another
turning point for me, in thesense that it caused me to say
you know, god has a purpose formy life, and so I decided that I
(07:53):
would just focus on using mygift to give him glory and to
point people to him.
Mikelah (08:00):
Would you say that some of these major events kind
of redirected you in a way?
K-Anthony (08:08):
I would say that it redirected me, because it's a
little bit more focused and Ihave a clearer understanding of
what God has done for me andwhat he wants to do through me.
Mikelah (08:19):
So tell me about recording your first song as a
gospel artist.
K-Anthony (08:28):
As a gospel artist, because my first song wasn't a
gospel song.
It's interesting.
A friend of mine just said tome hey, I noticed you're always
singing other people's song as amusic major.
Have you ever thought ofwriting your own songs?
That same evening it sparkedsomething in me where I wrote my
(08:48):
very first song, which was alove song in writing.
That it pushed me further toseek professional support and a
professional studio.
So I asked the older gentlemanwho was enrolled in the music
program also that hey, hey, doyou know of a studio?
And he directed me to a studioin the Portmore area, kingston,
(09:08):
portmore area and I justcontacted my mom and said, hey,
I want to get into the studioand start recording.
And she supported that move andthat's where it started.
I was a long process.
I took a long time to get thatone song recorded because I
wasn't familiar with actuallyrecording in the studio and I
(09:32):
would say over time I becamebetter.
Mikelah (09:35):
So, in terms of just music industry and music
business, I'm sure you probablyhear stories about, like, what
happens in the industry and thenperception wise people probably
say, oh, it's gospel, it shouldbe easy.
What are some of the challengesthat you experience?
I think you touched on oneabout, you know, just being able
to record in a studio, or.
(09:58):
But what are some of thechallenges that you have faced
as an artist in the business ofmusic, being a gospel artist,
that sort of thing?
K-Anthony (10:11):
I've faced mismanagement before, so I'm
very much familiar with that.
For most gospel artists, Iwould think financing a project
is generally one of the biggestthings or biggest hurdles that
they face.
I think it's as competitive assecular genres.
Secular genres If persons thinkyou are talented and I'm
(10:36):
speaking specifically to artiststhey probably won't be so quick
to accept you.
I can only speak from myexperience and so, as a result
of that, you will face someblockages along the way because
of that.
Especially if you're veryindependent and you decide to do
(10:57):
things your way and not havingto go to anyone, that can be
difficult and yeah, so financespersons who probably who feel
intimidated you can also becomedepressed.
I have been depressed beforebecause there's so much that you
want to accomplish and possiblynot being able to accomplish
(11:19):
them.
As you have set those goals,you possibly can also face
writer's block.
In a sense, I don't really facewriter's block, but to some
extent probably not getting toexpress how you'd want to
express a song.
Mikelah (11:38):
Now do you work with other, like producers?
Tell me about your writingprocess and recording process.
K-Anthony (11:46):
My writing process varies, so I could simply be
here having a conversation withyou and immediately I could hear
a song in my head and I wouldwrite it.
It could be that you're sharingsomething with me about
something that you'veexperienced and I'm inspired by
that.
Or you could be someone that'snot very close to me and I just
(12:06):
observe you and I write based onwhat I've seen.
Or, for me, I've written songsdirectly from the Bible where I
could be reading a passage andsomething just jump out and I'll
take something from that.
Or the best songs that, for mepersonally, is the ones I've
heard and I can hear them likesomeone is singing them in my
(12:28):
head.
The process varies.
I work with producers fromAfrica.
I work with producers in the US.
The best process I'veexperienced is actually having
the idea and teaming up withindividuals.
I believe strongly in community.
My voice is not the only voicethat matters, and also I'm big
(12:51):
on not being the loudest voicein the room, but always have
someone who is more experienced,and I've done more than myself
In doing that.
It will help you to grow andallow you to come across like
you're very much sharper at whatyou do, because both of you are
working together and so theideas that you throw out are
(13:12):
able to be vetted properly andyou can say eliminate things
that throw out are able to bevetted properly.
And you can say eliminatethings that's possibly not
supposed to be there and addthings that would make it better
.
So the process varies.
I tend to lean more.
Before, when I was younger, itwas more me me me wanting to
write everything, but now, as Iget much older, I more focus on
community, working together withdifferent producers, working
(13:34):
together with differentproducers, working together with
my friends who are a greatsupport for myself and who I
believe in in terms of theircapabilities and writing with
them to bring the work together.
Mikelah (13:47):
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I know we've seen so manyartists come from the secular
genre and either dabble ingospel music or they do a full
transition.
So you know, speaking ofJamaican artists, you have Lady
Saw, you have Papa San, you haveCarlene Davis and they're, you
know, they've completely, youknow, shifted in terms of their
(14:12):
musical sound and, really comingfrom a completely different
background, I kind of have thisposition around music can be
positive and inspirational andwe have so much reggae that is
positive and even have quote andbiblical lyrics, especially
with the connection toRastafarianism and the Bible.
(14:35):
We hear that a lot.
So I'm curious as to yourthoughts on it's not the route
that you took, but it is theroute that others do take.
So I'm curious as to yourperspective on changing genres
based on change in faith orposition, of how you want to
(14:59):
display your faith.
K-Anthony (15:01):
I think it's beautiful.
It shows growth.
I think we're all on a journey,and so we're not always going
to be on the same place at thesame time, and so you have made
mentions of a few people who arefamiliar with their journey.
It must be for me that there issomething that they had, their
(15:22):
experience, that is so differentor that they didn't have, hence
why they decide to make a stepinto the direction that they
have taken.
Many religion has a beliefsystem, but no savior, and so
persons who have theunderstanding of Christianity
will realize that there is asavior and also realize that
(15:45):
they are in need of one, whichwill also help them to make that
step.
And in so taking that step, theideologies has changed,
obviously, and so the approachto what they do in life in
general have to change, and so Iwould want to think that's the
reason why they would have madethose changes in how they bring
(16:05):
about their message.
Their life has shifted, untilthe message that they're going
to bring is going to shift a bit.
And I said to people why doChristian music or gospel music?
It's the experience that I'vehad, had the historical
references that I can make, um,the experience that I have.
It's like having the best jerkchicken.
I hear go on, go on, go on okayif I've had the best jerk
(16:29):
chicken, I'm gonna tell youabout it and I'm gonna tell you
about the spot.
And so I think that they havean experience and have an
encounter, and so they're saying, hey, I'm going to tell you
about the best thing that I'veever had, and so that creates a
shift in how they deliver andwhat they deliver about.
Mikelah (16:50):
I love that.
That's a great analogy.
K-Anthony (16:52):
I like it, I like it, I like it.
Mikelah (16:53):
I like that.
That's a great analogy.
I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it.
So we didn't get to talk abouthow you migrated to Canada
because I want to get to theJuno Award.
However, we got to go back andunderstand how did you get to
Canada?
What is your migration story?
K-Anthony (17:11):
You know, to be honest, me and my wife was
dating for a while and weweren't engaged as yet.
But she wanted to know where mymindset was as a young man.
And she was like I'm fillingout some paperwork Are you okay
with me putting your name?
And she was very straight interms of we were dating for a
(17:32):
while, so where do you see thisgoing?
And I understood where she wascoming from.
Would you want me to add yourname to this?
And I said, yeah, we gotmarried sometime after.
We were supposed to migrate tothe United States first and that
was a hold.
(17:53):
And then the Canada thing camethrough and we migrated to
Canada.
Why I chose Saskatchewan, Ihave no idea say that again
where, where in Canada?
Saskatchewan, it's far yeahthat's far west.
Why?
(18:13):
Because she gave me the optionnow to choose.
I don't know, I looked and Ithis place look like it could
work.
My wife is a nurse practitioner, so that was the reason for
moving and, um, I went from verywarm to minus 46, minus 50.
Um, but at first it waschallenging, I must say I became
(18:37):
very depressed because of theshifting climate, always
overcast, long winters.
But one day my perspectiveshifted and I see that what I
was able to do just before Ileft Jamaica, I see the
possibility of doing the samethere.
So I just started working,putting in more effort into
recording, doing a lot of musicvideos.
(18:59):
I became very busy with thatand so I became known and the
radio station at the time.
They called me and said hey,you have been so consistent, we
would like to sponsor you to doa concert here.
That's unheard of.
And I did and I?
I was shocked because when Icame out, the cultural
(19:21):
difference there was two personsthat opened for me and I came
out and I said good night andeverybody was quiet.
Being the father that I'm fromJamaica, I didn't know that when
I said good night it meant Iwas going to bed.
Mikelah (19:36):
Good night you know that didn't even register until
you said it, because I'm likeall the people, that's so rude.
I just said good night, manthat was crazy, right.
K-Anthony (19:49):
I said good night and they were still quite looking
at me.
And then someone said someone Icould hear somebody whispering
and saying good night means.
They were still quite lookingat me.
And then someone said someone Icould hear somebody whispered
and saying, good, that meansthey're going to bed.
I was like, okay, guys, guesswhat, where I'm from?
When we say good night, we'rejust saying hi, hello, it's the
evening, so we're just saying hito you.
And they all laughed and I justgot into the set.
(20:12):
That was funny.
That went really well to seethe support of persons, not just
of my skin complexion, but itwas packed with people from
different backgrounds and Ireally appreciated that support.
Mikelah (20:26):
That is hilarious.
That is the funniest story I'veheard in a long time.
But because you and I arethinking the same thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
K-Anthony (20:39):
So they have been sitting here waiting for me and
I'm saying hi to you andnobody's responding.
So, cultural differences.
Mikelah (20:48):
Oh for sure it must have been a huge culture shock.
You talked about the climatechange and, you know, just
navigating your way in a newcountry, particularly in the
music industry.
Was it like learning all overagain?
Like who the players are, whereto go, what to do?
Like?
K-Anthony (21:08):
tell me about that experience A lot of researching
a lot of late nights because Ididn't have anyone in the town
that was doing music, how I'maccustomed to doing music in
Jamaica, understanding theplayers, as you said, in the
music.
But over time I just startedbuilding, started gaining
(21:31):
momentum until they realized whoI was, and gain momentum until
they realize who I was.
Shortly after I got ontomainstream television, did
performances, and so it justgrew from there.
Mikelah (21:44):
Well, that's good.
So what do you enjoy mostPerforming?
Being in the studio puttingyour music out.
I know I like to ask, just tosee, all of it is different
stages.
K-Anthony (21:58):
I'm like earlier today I was in a meeting with
some persons who I'm puttingtogether to be a part of a team
working on a music video.
So it's, I would say, differentstages.
I would be so upbeat aboutgetting a song done, getting the
song written and recording itand then, moving from that to if
I'm going to shoot a musicvideo for that song, I would say
(22:21):
yeah, seeing the song come intolife.
Mikelah (22:24):
Now you released Arrow , your album in 2022.
I think so.
Yeah, that's post-COVID.
Yeah, was that your first albumor was that you had previous
projects before?
K-Anthony (22:40):
I had a previous project which was nominated in
2021.
Okay, and then a single that Iwon, gospel Song of the Year in
2021, I think.
Then 2023, I was nominated forsix GMAs in Canada Covenant
Awards, which I walked away withArtist of the Year.
(23:01):
So I've done quite a bit ofproject.
Mikelah (23:04):
So it sounds like you know, in Jamaica you were able
to create your sound and thenyou come to Canada and then you
kind of are able to kind of findyour footing, create more music
and kind of have like whatfeels to be like a great journey
in recognition.
(23:25):
How did you feel about that asyou were going through the
motions of all of the accoladesand celebrations around the
talent that you have?
K-Anthony (23:39):
One of the things that I'm grateful for is the
fact that I was prepared forsuccess before I received it.
So it caused me to be humbleabout it, to be extremely
grateful.
I was very surprised that I wonnot underestimating the work
(24:01):
that I've put in or the peoplethat I've worked with, but more
so, I think it was some greatmusicians, some great singers
who was nominated.
I was elated.
I was sitting at a table andthey were saying hey, did you
write a speech?
I said no, I'm not going to setup myself like that.
I don't know if I'm going towin.
I said but do you havesomething that you would say if
(24:24):
you end up being the winner?
I said, oh yeah.
When my name was called, I wasspeechless and it only allowed
me to reflect on the journey.
It has been a long journey, butI think it was a timely award
and I'm grateful for the factthat they would see the fit to
(24:45):
bestow that on myself and I takeit with pride, not in a bad way
, but to represent the best wayI can.
Mikelah (24:55):
Now, now you're talking about the Juno Award, so
we have to make sure we let thepeople there know you are the
Juno Award winner of 2024.
So that is this year, this year.
K-Anthony (25:05):
This year yeah.
Mikelah (25:07):
So did you perform at the award show as well?
K-Anthony (25:10):
No, I didn't perform.
No, no okay, okay.
Mikelah (25:15):
What was the celebration?
I feel like this is.
This is a huge moment in termsof, you know, reflection.
So tell, tell me about thatmoment for you.
K-Anthony (25:24):
Oh, the celebration was very simple.
Uh, my family wasn't there.
They were watching, everyonewas watching, so I only traveled
by myself, so it was very calm.
You know, I went back to thehotel after and I personally
thank God, thank my family, fortheir support for my acceptance
speech.
That is, and um, thecelebration is going to happen
(25:47):
in a week and a half timebecause I'm in grad school, so
it so it's an interesting thingto balance music, family and
everything else and school.
So I'm in grad school inMichigan and so a friend of mine
said hey, we're going to planfor the celebration to be X time
(26:10):
at my home, so I'm lookingforward to that.
Mikelah (26:12):
So I haven't really celebrated as yet, so I'm
looking forward to that, so Ihaven't really celebrated as yet
.
So you received the award forthe album Arrow, best
Contemporary Gospel Artist.
Does that add to the pressureof what your next project is?
K-Anthony (26:33):
Or does it just?
It's kind of like it's part ofthe journey for you.
For me it's part of the journey.
As I said, I don't take it forgranted.
So this is a massive award andso it's just about being
consistent, being true to thecall, being transparent as much
as I can be, just walking in mypurpose and giving a body of
(26:56):
work that speaks to people onall levels.
So I wouldn't say I'm feelingany form of pressure.
It was that time.
I know I'm in a different phaseright now.
Actually, I've started workingon a project from last year and
still finishing it up right now.
So I'm a workaholic, I'm alwaysworking.
My wife in particular would sayI'm a best friend in Canada who
(27:20):
say I'm like a kid in a candystore, what people think I'm
thinking about.
I am past that already, so I'malready thinking about what's
next.
What am I gonna create next?
You know, what does God want meto share?
What message can I bring topeople?
What hope can I give?
So I'm on to the next.
Mikelah (27:42):
And how has being in gospel artists changed, shifted,
your relationship with God?
I?
K-Anthony (27:53):
always need to spend time in the word with God.
I always need to spend time inthe Word.
It also allows me to have ananchor of accountability, of
trying not to live whatever theworld set as a standard.
Not to say I'm better becauseI'm not, but you aiming for
something higher allows you tohave a day of just reaching and
(28:17):
growth.
So it has called me tosomething a bit higher and I
lean into that.
And for me, my favorite text istrust in the Lord with all your
heart and to your ownunderstanding, but in all your
ways acknowledge him and he willdirect your path.
Proverbs 3, 4, 5, five.
So I don't trust in myabilities.
(28:38):
I appreciate what I've beengiven and I'm a student of what
I've been given, but I also knowthat it's important for me to
lean on God and ask for hisdirection.
And what is it that you want meto accomplish?
Not just setting goals, ofachieving accolades, but which
(29:00):
one person would you want me totalk to today that I could
create a difference in theirlives?
And so that means a lot to meto accept the influence that
I've been given and to use itfor his glory.
Mikelah (29:18):
So I have your latest single, Back to Jesus.
Did you write that it's acollaboration record?
K-Anthony (29:24):
It's a collaborative effort between myself and Alicia
, my friend Lloyd Nix fromMissouri.
So that's a collaborativeeffort.
Mikelah (29:35):
And tell me about the inspiration behind that song?
K-Anthony (29:39):
As the song's story stated, it's a powerful song
born from personal struggles.
Persons generally have doubtand anxiety about their faith
and finding it hard to cutthrough the negativity.
It's just saying go back to thesource, go back to Jesus.
(30:02):
Sometimes our ability to seethe Savior is obscured by the
anxiety, the worries, the painthat we feel.
But to kind of put on blinderslike a horse and quiet the noise
, don't focus on theinsecurities that you have.
(30:24):
Strip away the distractions andreturn to the fundamental trust
in Jesus Christ.
So that's what this is allsaying.
Mikelah (30:35):
Yes, yes, very inspiring.
So what advice would you giveto someone who is struggling
with their faith a bit intoday's society?
What advice would you give?
K-Anthony (30:52):
What advice would I give?
With someone who is strugglingwith their faith, be open about
it, face it.
Don't try to cover it with afacade of saying this is how I
have to be, but also surroundyourself with people.
Who has been on this journeyfor a while and would have had
(31:13):
some experiences and able toguide you and able to support
you.
I would say pray a lot Forpersons who haven't fasted.
I would recommend that also tospend time in the word.
And I say to people just tryGod, just say the simple prayer.
(31:36):
I don't know who you are, or Ithought I knew who you were, and
I'm having some issues.
I'd like for you to show up andI kid you not he will.

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of
the Style and Vibes podcast withyours truly.
If you are new here, welcome tothe family.
If you are returning, welcomeback family.
Today we have a special guest.
I know I say that all my guestsare special.
All my guests are special.
Okay, they are because they arehere with us and that's how I
see it, you know.
(00:24):
But it's our first gospelartist.
We have not had any gospelartists on the podcast and we
focus on everything Caribbean.
So, thank you, welcome to thefamily.
K Anthony.
K-Anthony (00:37):
Thank you, thank you, thank you for having me.
Mikelah (00:39):
Is that your real name , k Anthony, or is it an initial
and a middle name?
K-Anthony (00:44):
You know Jamaican people still have about three
names, so tell us the the backstory behind the name so
interestingly, um, the backstory behind this the name is
the fact that my original nameis Kevin Anthony Fowler and so
when I started doing music Iused to go by my name, kevin
Fowler.
But uh, sometime after anartist who's a country singer
(01:07):
reached out to me and said hey,how are you?
Said I'm good.
He said I think we have alittle issue.
Said I actually registered thename.
We share the name, but heregistered it as his artist name
and he's big.
So I said okay, no problem,that means I'll have to change
it.
And I was thinking what I wasgonna call myself or um, have as
(01:30):
a artist name, and the ideacame to use my first initial
from kevin and then use mymiddle name.
So I put it k hyphen anthony, kanthony.
That's how we came about.
My producer at the time said Ilike it it has a nice ring to it
(01:52):
.
Mikelah (01:52):
Yeah, so you ran into legal troubles, changed it and
now you like it all over again.
All right, sounds good, soundsgood, sounds good.
So you grew up in Fomal Jamaica.
Please tell me about yourupbringing and what was it like
for you growing up in Jamaica,and what was it like for you
growing up in Jamaica?
K-Anthony (02:05):
So Jamaica is fun.
As you know, I grew up close tothe beach Pretty much.
I lived only two places, inthree places in Falmouth I lived
on Cornwall Street and then onPitt Street, which is behind the
parish church.
For most persons who arefamiliar with Jamaica, it was
fun.
I only have a sibling.
His name is David.
(02:27):
I attended Falmouth All Age,where I was known as a track and
field athlete, where my raceswere 100 and 200 meters, and so
that was where my foundationbegan.
I attended Falmouth Seventh-dayAdventist Church, got a
scholarship to William Nibb, andmy mom thought it would have
been a bad idea to send me toWilliam Nibb, so she sentenced
(02:50):
me to a private school inMontego Bay called Harrison
Memorial High School.
At first it felt as if it was asentence, and as I continued
growing, I understood what shewanted me to do was not just
focus on the abilities that Ihave, but more so to own my
skills academically, and so thatwas one of the main reasons she
(03:15):
sent me to Harrison, and ittook me some time to settle.
I was very rebellious towardsthat.
It took me some time to settledown, but I did.
And after finishing HarrisonMemorial High School, I wanted
to become an agronomist and shehad contacted the institution
but they weren't accepting atthe time.
So I think it was God whoinspired her to say hey, have
(03:39):
you ever thought of studyingmusic?
And she said at least study fora year.
And I got enrolled intoNorthern Caribbean University
but, as you asked, found smalltown.
Mikelah (03:52):
Um yeah, it was a wonderful experience so it's
just you and your brother, andwhat was the age difference
between you and your brother?
Uh, we're three years apart, ohso fairly, so fairly close, so
fairly close, very close.
So tell me about in yourtransition to studying music.
Why was your mom so inclined tohave you study music?
(04:16):
Is that something that you'vealways shown an interest in
growing up?
K-Anthony (04:22):
When I was transitioning from here, they
call it elementary wastransitioning from elementary
school to high school, and Ithink on the last few days at
elementary school I decided tofollow some friends to go
swimming and I almost drowned.
My brother was actually sittingon the shore watching me in
(04:46):
this difficulty, and so a friendof mine in the class.
Well, I prayed.
I said God, if you should saveme, I'll give you my heart.
I tell people this was my firstencounter with who God is,
because before that I would moreunderstand God from my mom's
perspective and only experienceGod through my mom, through my
(05:07):
parents.
And I could only remember that.
The pastor said if you haveever been in difficulty, you can
call on God.
And I did first time.
And out of the blue, a friendcame running telling me not to
give up, and I held on to thatand he saved me.
But I never saw it as just himsaving me, I saw it as god
(05:30):
providing someone to save me.
And, um, that was a big mark inmy life.
And so we had a discussionabout track and field and and my
mom said to me have you everthought about that?
God has another talent thatyou're just not aware of and I
kid you not, it's within thatsame time frame, about to enter
in high school, I found what Icould sing because a friend was
(05:53):
asked in church.
He was a bit timid and so heasked for support and I did.
And that was where the processbegan with music I would
practice every day.
So she would have seen that,she would have seen me
practicing every day.
But the focus was not more soon pursuing it from an academic
(06:13):
standpoint.
But I was singing in a group atchurch, I was singing in a
group in school and I was alsothe lead singer for the
graduation choir.
And so when she contacted theuniversity and realized that I
would have had to wait a year tobe accepted into a tertiary
institution, she didn't likethat.
So she for me I think it's Godthat's impressed her to say, hey
(06:37):
, why not study music?
And when she said it it waslike a light went off in my head
.
I was like that't work, becauseI've always been passionate
about it, and so I got enrolledin Northern Caribbean University
where I studied music and Ialso did communication.
Mikelah (06:53):
So in studying music, did you take to one particular
angle producing, writing, what,what was your, your thing as you
were studying?
K-Anthony (07:03):
I was a voice major.
Okay, um, and in being a voicemajor, you have to learn
instruments and stuff like that.
Mikelah (07:09):
So, yeah, I was a voice major and so when you
finished your schooling and youwere thinking about career-wise
how you wanted to to transition,was it always gospel?
I think it's probably aquestion you probably only get
as a gospel artist, but did youthink about doing other genres,
or was it always going to begospel for you?
K-Anthony (07:32):
It wasn't always gospel.
I started out doing R&B, Iwould say, and I had another
encounter where I was held atgunpoint, and that was another
turning point for me, in thesense that it caused me to say
you know, god has a purpose formy life, and so I decided that I
(07:53):
would just focus on using mygift to give him glory and to
point people to him.
Mikelah (08:00):
Would you say that some of these major events kind
of redirected you in a way?
K-Anthony (08:08):
I would say that it redirected me, because it's a
little bit more focused and Ihave a clearer understanding of
what God has done for me andwhat he wants to do through me.
Mikelah (08:19):
So tell me about recording your first song as a
gospel artist.
K-Anthony (08:28):
As a gospel artist, because my first song wasn't a
gospel song.
It's interesting.
A friend of mine just said tome hey, I noticed you're always
singing other people's song as amusic major.
Have you ever thought ofwriting your own songs?
That same evening it sparkedsomething in me where I wrote my
(08:48):
very first song, which was alove song in writing.
That it pushed me further toseek professional support and a
professional studio.
So I asked the older gentlemanwho was enrolled in the music
program also that hey, hey, doyou know of a studio?
And he directed me to a studioin the Portmore area, kingston,
(09:08):
portmore area and I justcontacted my mom and said, hey,
I want to get into the studioand start recording.
And she supported that move andthat's where it started.
I was a long process.
I took a long time to get thatone song recorded because I
wasn't familiar with actuallyrecording in the studio and I
(09:32):
would say over time I becamebetter.
Mikelah (09:35):
So, in terms of just music industry and music
business, I'm sure you probablyhear stories about, like, what
happens in the industry and thenperception wise people probably
say, oh, it's gospel, it shouldbe easy.
What are some of the challengesthat you experience?
I think you touched on oneabout, you know, just being able
to record in a studio, or.
(09:58):
But what are some of thechallenges that you have faced
as an artist in the business ofmusic, being a gospel artist,
that sort of thing?
K-Anthony (10:11):
I've faced mismanagement before, so I'm
very much familiar with that.
For most gospel artists, Iwould think financing a project
is generally one of the biggestthings or biggest hurdles that
they face.
I think it's as competitive assecular genres.
Secular genres If persons thinkyou are talented and I'm
(10:36):
speaking specifically to artiststhey probably won't be so quick
to accept you.
I can only speak from myexperience and so, as a result
of that, you will face someblockages along the way because
of that.
Especially if you're veryindependent and you decide to do
(10:57):
things your way and not havingto go to anyone, that can be
difficult and yeah, so financespersons who probably who feel
intimidated you can also becomedepressed.
I have been depressed beforebecause there's so much that you
want to accomplish and possiblynot being able to accomplish
(11:19):
them.
As you have set those goals,you possibly can also face
writer's block.
In a sense, I don't really facewriter's block, but to some
extent probably not getting toexpress how you'd want to
express a song.
Mikelah (11:38):
Now do you work with other, like producers?
Tell me about your writingprocess and recording process.
K-Anthony (11:46):
My writing process varies, so I could simply be
here having a conversation withyou and immediately I could hear
a song in my head and I wouldwrite it.
It could be that you're sharingsomething with me about
something that you'veexperienced and I'm inspired by
that.
Or you could be someone that'snot very close to me and I just
(12:06):
observe you and I write based onwhat I've seen.
Or, for me, I've written songsdirectly from the Bible where I
could be reading a passage andsomething just jump out and I'll
take something from that.
Or the best songs that, for mepersonally, is the ones I've
heard and I can hear them likesomeone is singing them in my
(12:28):
head.
The process varies.
I work with producers fromAfrica.
I work with producers in the US.
The best process I'veexperienced is actually having
the idea and teaming up withindividuals.
I believe strongly in community.
My voice is not the only voicethat matters, and also I'm big
(12:51):
on not being the loudest voicein the room, but always have
someone who is more experienced,and I've done more than myself
In doing that.
It will help you to grow andallow you to come across like
you're very much sharper at whatyou do, because both of you are
working together and so theideas that you throw out are
(13:12):
able to be vetted properly andyou can say eliminate things
that throw out are able to bevetted properly.
And you can say eliminatethings that's possibly not
supposed to be there and addthings that would make it better
.
So the process varies.
I tend to lean more.
Before, when I was younger, itwas more me me me wanting to
write everything, but now, as Iget much older, I more focus on
community, working together withdifferent producers, working
(13:34):
together with differentproducers, working together with
my friends who are a greatsupport for myself and who I
believe in in terms of theircapabilities and writing with
them to bring the work together.
Mikelah (13:47):
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I know we've seen so manyartists come from the secular
genre and either dabble ingospel music or they do a full
transition.
So you know, speaking ofJamaican artists, you have Lady
Saw, you have Papa San, you haveCarlene Davis and they're, you
know, they've completely, youknow, shifted in terms of their
(14:12):
musical sound and, really comingfrom a completely different
background, I kind of have thisposition around music can be
positive and inspirational andwe have so much reggae that is
positive and even have quote andbiblical lyrics, especially
with the connection toRastafarianism and the Bible.
(14:35):
We hear that a lot.
So I'm curious as to yourthoughts on it's not the route
that you took, but it is theroute that others do take.
So I'm curious as to yourperspective on changing genres
based on change in faith orposition, of how you want to
(14:59):
display your faith.
K-Anthony (15:01):
I think it's beautiful.
It shows growth.
I think we're all on a journey,and so we're not always going
to be on the same place at thesame time, and so you have made
mentions of a few people who arefamiliar with their journey.
It must be for me that there issomething that they had, their
(15:22):
experience, that is so differentor that they didn't have, hence
why they decide to make a stepinto the direction that they
have taken.
Many religion has a beliefsystem, but no savior, and so
persons who have theunderstanding of Christianity
will realize that there is asavior and also realize that
(15:45):
they are in need of one, whichwill also help them to make that
step.
And in so taking that step, theideologies has changed,
obviously, and so the approachto what they do in life in
general have to change, and so Iwould want to think that's the
reason why they would have madethose changes in how they bring
(16:05):
about their message.
Their life has shifted, untilthe message that they're going
to bring is going to shift a bit.
And I said to people why doChristian music or gospel music?
It's the experience that I'vehad, had the historical
references that I can make, um,the experience that I have.
It's like having the best jerkchicken.
I hear go on, go on, go on okayif I've had the best jerk
(16:29):
chicken, I'm gonna tell youabout it and I'm gonna tell you
about the spot.
And so I think that they havean experience and have an
encounter, and so they're saying, hey, I'm going to tell you
about the best thing that I'veever had, and so that creates a
shift in how they deliver andwhat they deliver about.
Mikelah (16:50):
I love that.
That's a great analogy.
K-Anthony (16:52):
I like it, I like it, I like it.
Mikelah (16:53):
I like that.
That's a great analogy.
I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it.
So we didn't get to talk abouthow you migrated to Canada
because I want to get to theJuno Award.
However, we got to go back andunderstand how did you get to
Canada?
What is your migration story?
K-Anthony (17:11):
You know, to be honest, me and my wife was
dating for a while and weweren't engaged as yet.
But she wanted to know where mymindset was as a young man.
And she was like I'm fillingout some paperwork Are you okay
with me putting your name?
And she was very straight interms of we were dating for a
(17:32):
while, so where do you see thisgoing?
And I understood where she wascoming from.
Would you want me to add yourname to this?
And I said, yeah, we gotmarried sometime after.
We were supposed to migrate tothe United States first and that
was a hold.
(17:53):
And then the Canada thing camethrough and we migrated to
Canada.
Why I chose Saskatchewan, Ihave no idea say that again
where, where in Canada?
Saskatchewan, it's far yeahthat's far west.
Why?
(18:13):
Because she gave me the optionnow to choose.
I don't know, I looked and Ithis place look like it could
work.
My wife is a nurse practitioner, so that was the reason for
moving and, um, I went from verywarm to minus 46, minus 50.
Um, but at first it waschallenging, I must say I became
(18:37):
very depressed because of theshifting climate, always
overcast, long winters.
But one day my perspectiveshifted and I see that what I
was able to do just before Ileft Jamaica, I see the
possibility of doing the samethere.
So I just started working,putting in more effort into
recording, doing a lot of musicvideos.
(18:59):
I became very busy with thatand so I became known and the
radio station at the time.
They called me and said hey,you have been so consistent, we
would like to sponsor you to doa concert here.
That's unheard of.
And I did and I?
I was shocked because when Icame out, the cultural
(19:21):
difference there was two personsthat opened for me and I came
out and I said good night andeverybody was quiet.
Being the father that I'm fromJamaica, I didn't know that when
I said good night it meant Iwas going to bed.
Mikelah (19:36):
Good night you know that didn't even register until
you said it, because I'm likeall the people, that's so rude.
I just said good night, manthat was crazy, right.
K-Anthony (19:49):
I said good night and they were still quite looking
at me.
And then someone said someone Icould hear somebody whispering
and saying good night means.
They were still quite lookingat me.
And then someone said someone Icould hear somebody whispered
and saying, good, that meansthey're going to bed.
I was like, okay, guys, guesswhat, where I'm from?
When we say good night, we'rejust saying hi, hello, it's the
evening, so we're just saying hito you.
And they all laughed and I justgot into the set.
(20:12):
That was funny.
That went really well to seethe support of persons, not just
of my skin complexion, but itwas packed with people from
different backgrounds and Ireally appreciated that support.
Mikelah (20:26):
That is hilarious.
That is the funniest story I'veheard in a long time.
But because you and I arethinking the same thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
K-Anthony (20:39):
So they have been sitting here waiting for me and
I'm saying hi to you andnobody's responding.
So, cultural differences.
Mikelah (20:48):
Oh for sure it must have been a huge culture shock.
You talked about the climatechange and, you know, just
navigating your way in a newcountry, particularly in the
music industry.
Was it like learning all overagain?
Like who the players are, whereto go, what to do?
Like?
K-Anthony (21:08):
tell me about that experience A lot of researching
a lot of late nights because Ididn't have anyone in the town
that was doing music, how I'maccustomed to doing music in
Jamaica, understanding theplayers, as you said, in the
music.
But over time I just startedbuilding, started gaining
(21:31):
momentum until they realized whoI was, and gain momentum until
they realize who I was.
Shortly after I got ontomainstream television, did
performances, and so it justgrew from there.
Mikelah (21:44):
Well, that's good.
So what do you enjoy mostPerforming?
Being in the studio puttingyour music out.
I know I like to ask, just tosee, all of it is different
stages.
K-Anthony (21:58):
I'm like earlier today I was in a meeting with
some persons who I'm puttingtogether to be a part of a team
working on a music video.
So it's, I would say, differentstages.
I would be so upbeat aboutgetting a song done, getting the
song written and recording itand then, moving from that to if
I'm going to shoot a musicvideo for that song, I would say
(22:21):
yeah, seeing the song come intolife.
Mikelah (22:24):
Now you released Arrow , your album in 2022.
I think so.
Yeah, that's post-COVID.
Yeah, was that your first albumor was that you had previous
projects before?
K-Anthony (22:40):
I had a previous project which was nominated in
2021.
Okay, and then a single that Iwon, gospel Song of the Year in
2021, I think.
Then 2023, I was nominated forsix GMAs in Canada Covenant
Awards, which I walked away withArtist of the Year.
(23:01):
So I've done quite a bit ofproject.
Mikelah (23:04):
So it sounds like you know, in Jamaica you were able
to create your sound and thenyou come to Canada and then you
kind of are able to kind of findyour footing, create more music
and kind of have like whatfeels to be like a great journey
in recognition.
(23:25):
How did you feel about that asyou were going through the
motions of all of the accoladesand celebrations around the
talent that you have?
K-Anthony (23:39):
One of the things that I'm grateful for is the
fact that I was prepared forsuccess before I received it.
So it caused me to be humbleabout it, to be extremely
grateful.
I was very surprised that I wonnot underestimating the work
(24:01):
that I've put in or the peoplethat I've worked with, but more
so, I think it was some greatmusicians, some great singers
who was nominated.
I was elated.
I was sitting at a table andthey were saying hey, did you
write a speech?
I said no, I'm not going to setup myself like that.
I don't know if I'm going towin.
I said but do you havesomething that you would say if
(24:24):
you end up being the winner?
I said, oh yeah.
When my name was called, I wasspeechless and it only allowed
me to reflect on the journey.
It has been a long journey, butI think it was a timely award
and I'm grateful for the factthat they would see the fit to
(24:45):
bestow that on myself and I takeit with pride, not in a bad way
, but to represent the best wayI can.
Mikelah (24:55):
Now, now you're talking about the Juno Award, so
we have to make sure we let thepeople there know you are the
Juno Award winner of 2024.
So that is this year, this year.
K-Anthony (25:05):
This year yeah.
Mikelah (25:07):
So did you perform at the award show as well?
K-Anthony (25:10):
No, I didn't perform.
No, no okay, okay.
Mikelah (25:15):
What was the celebration?
I feel like this is.
This is a huge moment in termsof, you know, reflection.
So tell, tell me about thatmoment for you.
K-Anthony (25:24):
Oh, the celebration was very simple.
Uh, my family wasn't there.
They were watching, everyonewas watching, so I only traveled
by myself, so it was very calm.
You know, I went back to thehotel after and I personally
thank God, thank my family, fortheir support for my acceptance
speech.
That is, and um, thecelebration is going to happen
(25:47):
in a week and a half timebecause I'm in grad school, so
it so it's an interesting thingto balance music, family and
everything else and school.
So I'm in grad school inMichigan and so a friend of mine
said hey, we're going to planfor the celebration to be X time
(26:10):
at my home, so I'm lookingforward to that.
Mikelah (26:12):
So I haven't really celebrated as yet, so I'm
looking forward to that, so Ihaven't really celebrated as yet
.
So you received the award forthe album Arrow, best
Contemporary Gospel Artist.
Does that add to the pressureof what your next project is?
K-Anthony (26:33):
Or does it just?
It's kind of like it's part ofthe journey for you.
For me it's part of the journey.
As I said, I don't take it forgranted.
So this is a massive award andso it's just about being
consistent, being true to thecall, being transparent as much
as I can be, just walking in mypurpose and giving a body of
(26:56):
work that speaks to people onall levels.
So I wouldn't say I'm feelingany form of pressure.
It was that time.
I know I'm in a different phaseright now.
Actually, I've started workingon a project from last year and
still finishing it up right now.
So I'm a workaholic, I'm alwaysworking.
My wife in particular would sayI'm a best friend in Canada who
(27:20):
say I'm like a kid in a candystore, what people think I'm
thinking about.
I am past that already, so I'malready thinking about what's
next.
What am I gonna create next?
You know, what does God want meto share?
What message can I bring topeople?
What hope can I give?
So I'm on to the next.
Mikelah (27:42):
And how has being in gospel artists changed, shifted,
your relationship with God?
I?
K-Anthony (27:53):
always need to spend time in the word with God.
I always need to spend time inthe Word.
It also allows me to have ananchor of accountability, of
trying not to live whatever theworld set as a standard.
Not to say I'm better becauseI'm not, but you aiming for
something higher allows you tohave a day of just reaching and
(28:17):
growth.
So it has called me tosomething a bit higher and I
lean into that.
And for me, my favorite text istrust in the Lord with all your
heart and to your ownunderstanding, but in all your
ways acknowledge him and he willdirect your path.
Proverbs 3, 4, 5, five.
So I don't trust in myabilities.
(28:38):
I appreciate what I've beengiven and I'm a student of what
I've been given, but I also knowthat it's important for me to
lean on God and ask for hisdirection.
And what is it that you want meto accomplish?
Not just setting goals, ofachieving accolades, but which
(29:00):
one person would you want me totalk to today that I could
create a difference in theirlives?
And so that means a lot to meto accept the influence that
I've been given and to use itfor his glory.
Mikelah (29:18):
So I have your latest single, Back to Jesus.
Did you write that it's acollaboration record?
K-Anthony (29:24):
It's a collaborative effort between myself and Alicia
, my friend Lloyd Nix fromMissouri.
So that's a collaborativeeffort.
Mikelah (29:35):
And tell me about the inspiration behind that song?
K-Anthony (29:39):
As the song's story stated, it's a powerful song
born from personal struggles.
Persons generally have doubtand anxiety about their faith
and finding it hard to cutthrough the negativity.
It's just saying go back to thesource, go back to Jesus.
(30:02):
Sometimes our ability to seethe Savior is obscured by the
anxiety, the worries, the painthat we feel.
But to kind of put on blinderslike a horse and quiet the noise
, don't focus on theinsecurities that you have.
(30:24):
Strip away the distractions andreturn to the fundamental trust
in Jesus Christ.
So that's what this is allsaying.
Mikelah (30:35):
Yes, yes, very inspiring.
So what advice would you giveto someone who is struggling
with their faith a bit intoday's society?
What advice would you give?
K-Anthony (30:52):
What advice would I give?
With someone who is strugglingwith their faith, be open about
it, face it.
Don't try to cover it with afacade of saying this is how I
have to be, but also surroundyourself with people.
Who has been on this journeyfor a while and would have had
(31:13):
some experiences and able toguide you and able to support
you.
I would say pray a lot Forpersons who haven't fasted.
I would recommend that also tospend time in the word.
And I say to people just tryGod, just say the simple prayer.
(31:36):
I don't know who you are, or Ithought I knew who you were, and
I'm having some issues.
I'd like for you to show up andI kid you not he will.
Mikelah (31:52):
I love it.
