Joshua Benn and Sheldon McKinnon are two young men who share an intense love for music. The duo forms a gospel-singing group known as Christ-like Soldiers. Their aim, they say, “is to spread the message of Christ in various musical genres, whether it is reggae, rap or dancehall.” The group has been in existence for over a year, and originally consisted of four people including two brothers — Daniel and Travis Fraser — who were also the group’s youngest members. The two are members of the Calvary Assembly of God Church in Mc Doom, Georgetown, Guyana where they were initially a dance group, but later decided to focus on singing instead. The main person behind the change was Joshua. According to him, he always had a love for dance and music but it was after he developed a keen interest in the steel pan and singing that he urged his fellow member to start a singing group. The group started but the Fraser brothers dropped out because of their young ages and the stages of their academic pursuits. Although the group is yet to release a complete album, they have been and still are releasing singles. These include their debut song called “Check Your Life” which speaks about introspecting and assessing one’s everyday life making sure that we are living in accordance with the teachings of Christ, “Christ-like Soldiers Doing Our Best” which was the song that really gave listeners an insight into who they really were and this latest single called “Too Blessed To Be Stressed’”, for which a video is due to be released sometime soon. In spite of the group still being in its formative stages, the two youths have big dreams. The duo wants to take gospel music to a higher level to the point where they are recognized as mainstream performers locally, regionally and even internationally. In the future, they plan to open their own recording studio which they hope will create avenues for other youths. Currently, the group is under no management. In recent times they have shared the stage with DJ Evangelist at the ‘The Real Christmas Jam’, Main Big Lime as well as ‘The Real Easter Jam’ , held at the Sea Wall Bandstand on Easter Monday of 2007.
Both Joshua and Sheldon have other goals career wise besides becoming successful recording artistes.
Joshua is currently pursuing a degree in Sociology at the University of Guyana. Upon completion of his degree, he intends to commence studies in law, which will set him on course to fulfill his goal of becoming a lawyer. He admits that the combination of law and music is unusual, but he feels that this dream is not impossible once he remains focused and works hard.
Sheldon is currently employed at Habit International Supply and is pursuing studies in accounting. He says that he has a love for both music and accounting and intends to become a “musical accountant” so to speak. Although young and inexperienced, Joshua and Sheldon are clearly determined to be successful. They both emphasize that they are two young men who are “doing their best to exert a positive influence in Guyana.”
