简介

Gospel singer Jacqueline Clarke has her eyes firmly planted on her prize. And that prize is to reach the Grammy's through her efforts of ministering to people through Christian music. From The Heart, Ms. Clarke's debut solo album will do just that, as this album is a powerful testament of Christian life. From The Heart is a phenomenal, powerful and beautiful collaboration of Contemporary Gospel music. Tracks such as "Standing In The Gap" and "Lay It On Jesus" will move you spiritually and emotionally. Evident in the passion and the emotion heard in each of the eleven tracks of this album, Jackie made each of the songs personal, sharing with listeners her tales of heart wrenching struggles and how she triumphed and overcame them through her steadfast faith and belief in God. Born in Jamaica, Jacqueline Clarke's talent for singing was discovered at an early age. The third of 6 children, she gave her first performance at age 5. Encouraged by her family in her pre-teens she continued to sing, performing at weddings and church concerts. Because of her powerful voice and extraordinary talent, Jackie became well known throughout the island and was recruited heavily by individuals in the Gospel and Reggae music sectors. Even with the prospects of the offers that were being given to her in the secular world, she desired only to remain committed to her faith. She joined the Breakthrough Gospel Group and toured with them extensively throughout the Caribbean and North America. Jackie moved to the United States in the early 90's and settled in New York City where she worked as a Patient Care Assistant. She continued to hone her talent by seeking the directions of vocal trainer Stanley Ralph, the father of Television's legendary Diva, Sheryl Lee Ralph. Jackie's move to America would bring her closer to her goal, as she would soon discover after joining the Brooklyn congregation of the Church of God of Prophecy. There, she continued with her music ministry and following one of her performances, she met Stage II Entertainment owner Anthony Smith. The two disappeared into the recording studios where they arranged and composed the eleven tracks of From The Heart. With the release of her album, Jackie increased traveling throughout the Northeastern USA promoting the album and her talent. Her tour involved opening and sharing the musical stage with famed artist such as, Alvin Slaughter, Ray Boltz, Anointed and many others. She was nominated by the Caribbean Gospel Music Awards for Best New Artist and won an award for Top New Artist, awarded by the French International Caribbean Gospel Awards. Her music can be heard via the Internet and on many gospel stations throughout the Caribbean and North America.
