Carey B Grant is a Canadian Christian involved in music ministry in Canada.
Carey B. Grant is a Canadian Indi Singer/Songwriter. His music is poetic and well put together. Listeners will be encouraged, entertained and touched, through His music.
Carey has always wanted to Record a Record that would capture a live feel without compromising the message which is timeless. " I'm tired of striving to write a formulated genre of song; just so it can fit into the some current music mould." Just like the lyrics of The Song Reachin' 2nd verse " " Sick 'n' tired of tryin' to be Perfect ... This time I'm taken off My Mask ... Steppin' out a The Shame ... Gonna Dance 'n' Sing "
It's a deeply personal thing to capture who I am as an artist in a natural way, at this point in My Life.
It's about " faith, tryin' to enjoy the ride through life's struggles, day jobs, financial pressures, Why am I here, My Mom's passing after Her battle with cancer ' " with " The Main Thing " being " The Main Thing,"
Say's Carey.
Producer [http://www.christianmusiconline.com/david-rashed/ David Rashed, suggested that Carey, go back to His musical roots & to freely play your guitar, without controling every sound. The Approach to this CD was to make it a liberating & fun experience as well as to keep things simple & true. This element of breathing space allowed dormant ideas to surface. The result was a spontaneous almost-live CD called, "Free To Fly". David's unobtrusive way in the studio was a great incubator for inspiration & emotion. Songs like: Can I Trust You, I Believe, Free To Fly, He's Comin' Back Now Jack, I Will Follow You, were borne almost live off the floor & were worked less than some of the other songs which were built off of favorite musical ideas. "Free to Fly" is a " Relevant " guitar driven CD, that captures the many of Carey's different writing styles & was Produced by David Rashed / P.E.I. of Canadian RockBand, Haywire. David Rashed co-writing & gtrs. & Tommy Detamore steel gtrs / Floresville Texas.

In 1977, Carey began gigging wk-ends in: School, Hotels, House Parties & Wedding Halls; covering 50's, Punk, British, Hard Rock, Country & Rock 'n' Blues Artists. After 10 years, He Acquired Some Live performance skills, ect which Landed " 3 " Big Breaks. The 1st break was an opening spot for an Obscure Texan Band / Barrymores, Ottawa, {Who was a Cross between Stevie Ray Vaughn & CCR & Who previously Toured with The Fabuous Thunderbirds} "Omar and The Howlers."
After Dropping out of School, He moved to Toronto, to pursue a Music Career where He frequented Clubs & wrote & recorded some original material on cassette. With no substantial leads & minimum wage jobs, He moved back home; discouraged. The 2nd was a Break Out of Denial. He had drifted into secularism & other philosophies that left His Heart hard, empty & synical. After Wrestling with Depression, Anxiety & the reality that He had crossed that line & had an alcohol dependancy.
He finally listened to His Mother; & several other people. Who prayed, He'd meet People who could mentor positive life changes.
( Alcoholicas Anonymus / 6 years attendance )
With His guitar, a suitcase & a Few more original Songs; He hiked west to Kingston.
The 3rd Big Break" happened in a Little country chapel; Spring, May 1990. While singin' Hymns to Jesus with a group of Christians.
He had sang Hymns before; but these people knew who they were Singin' To ___ With nothin' to lose He continued to hangout & a 1/2 hr. later,
He Found Himself surrounded with an Incredible Peace. This was where He came to know the Awesome Power of Jesus.

- " Hi Carey,
Glad to see You are pursuing your career; since in this time and era you are most likey to reach people through your music.
I know, I have seen one of your concerts, where people couldn't move very well at the front and moved to back of the room so they could sway and dance more freely.
That was amazing to Me since some of the people of all ages, were older. They wanted encores but it had to come to an end;
so You see, You can stir up a crowd.
So continue to do what
The Lord has empowered You to do,
Work with all wonderful instrumental gifts and knowledge to compose music.
Praise The Lord with a New Song. "
