On July 12th, Marion Hall was born in a small district, called Galina in St. Mary, Jamaica.
She always knew that greatness was her portion and embraced Proverbs 18:16 “your gifts will make room for you and bring you before kings.” From an early age, she understood the importance of being diligent, unique and creative, especially as a female in the music industry. Her work ethics allowed her to gain the respect of some of the greats in the entertainment arena both locally and internationally. Her versatility and talents created a platform so she could work with persons such as Sean Paul, Beres Hammond, Nicki Minaj, Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Paul Mc Cartney, Missy Elliot, and several other icons.

There was no denying that she is gifted; Marion adopted the name Lady Saw and became the first Jamaican female dee-jay to win a Grammy Award and achieve triple-platinum status. She was bold and fearless, her fans revered her. The name Lady Saw is forever etched in history but she was not satisfied. She knew that though her gifts made room for her it was not God’s divine orchestration. As such, she wrestled with the idea of relinquishing being the Queen of dancehall to walk in her true calling; amidst the struggle, the transformation began.

Like a caterpillar changes to a butterfly, she took heed after several years of encounters with God and she adorned herself with a new lifestyle. It began with her getting baptized in a very unorthodox way on Monday, December 15, 2015, and it attracted much attention globally, her conversion also resulted in her bearing her birth name (Marion Hall) solely. Expeditiously, the Lord allowed Marion to be invited to the White House for the annual Caribbean and African International Leadership Conference to minister.

She has since recorded and produced two gospel albums; her debut “When God Speaks” hit number four on the Reggae Billboard chart and her most recent “His Grace” is making a great impact. Marion’s experiences gave her a passion to help youths, the abused and the less fortunate, she, therefore, embodies the motto: “Feeding and winning souls for Christ”. Almost three years after baptizing Minister Marion Hall, Bishop Everton Thomas ordained her as an International Evangelist on July 15, 2018 at the Emmanuel Apostolic Church in Kingston, Jamaica. Evangelist Marion Hall is the epitome of strength and she continues to travel the world ministering the undiluted gospel of Jesus Christ.

Born and raised in Kingston Jamaica, Ryan Mark Reynolds, one of Jamaica’s renowned recording artists derived as a stalwart of his generation. Ryan emerged during the era when there was a rapid elevation in the influence of Reggae Gospel music. It was during his years at the prominent Calabar High School, while exploring his talents and career options that he discovered his love for music and entertainment.
