Car Accident
While still in his mother's womb, his mother was in a major
car accident, but he survived. Garrett Quinton Braaf was
born in Manhattan, New York, March 22, 1987 a month and a
half premature, with the umbilical cord around his neck, but
again survived.
Bullet
At age 3, Garrett was at a living room window in Brooklyn
and just as he moved away from the window, a bullet came
through.
Suriname
Over time, the decision was made to move to Sunrise,
Florida. "G" received some musical influence from his
Caribbean roots. Garrett's family is from Suriname, South
America which allowed him to be less restricted in his view
of the world and the many cultures in it.
Crucifer
While living in Ft. Lauderdale he was heavily involved in
Church youth groups and Church Activities, Garrett was a
Crucifer at Christ the King Lutheran Church. A crucifer is
the one who carries the cross and all others follow at the
beginning of the service in a Lutheran Church.
Positive lyrics
He started listening to more secular hip-hop before he began
writing on his own, Proud of his skill; his father
challenged him to write positive lyrics. Garrett was
introduced to gospel hip hop at a christian youth conference
in Miami called Acquire the Fire.
Genre
When he discovered that there was a music genre out there
that had the same exact flavor and hype as secular hip hop
but without the explicit language, he was blown away. "G"
started listening to Tunnel Rats, Souljahz, and Cross
Movement to name a few before realizing his call.
Prodigal Son
G-Quinn entered Gospel Star Search Live where he won 2nd
place in the youth category. He was not happy, and felt he
did not do his best, but his parents told him that God had a
plan, and to be patient. "G" then met Prodigal Son of
Holy-Wood Records at a performance hosted by Gospel Star
Search Live in which he was a guest artist.
Accident
G-Quinn gave Prodigal Son a CD to review, but before he met
him again Garrett was in a severe accident which should have
taken his life, but again he survived with just elbow
surgery. G-Quinn was more convinced then ever God had a
purpose for him. Since then, G-Quinn has been mentored by
Prodigal Son and has produced two tracks on his latest CD
"Welcome to HOLYwood".
Stage Performances
"G" has shared the stage with 1 Accord, M.O.T.C.
(Messengers of the Christ), Soul Survivaz, Redeemed, Christ
Affiliates, Justin-Credible and was one of the opening acts
for T- Bone at Club U-Turn in WPB, Florida.
Production
G-Quinn produces instrumentals for him and others and
approaches his ministry with purpose and responsibility and
Through God he focuses on the youth, so that the mission of
saving our future and our souls can be done.
Vision
His vision is to create a huge music, video ministry and
“clean” Entertainment Company worldwide and to help others
do the same if God chooses to bless those plans.
