Girvan ‘Gee’ Moore to bring blessings to PAN 2024 grand finals

GOSPEL RECORDING artiste and performer, Girvan ‘Gee’ Moore says he is charged up and raring to go for his next major assignment today (August 25).

Moore is one of two gospel acts who will perform at the grand finals of the sizzling culinary extravaganza PAN 2024, which is powered by CB Foods. The other gospel act is Rondell Positive. It takes place at Independence Park, Black River, St Elizabeth.

“I am excited to go out there and introduce myself to the general public, to see and hear the feedback from patrons. You can expect a powerful ministry, a refreshing new sound in gospel and a message from the Almighty,” Moore shared.

Moore’s journey in Christendom began at the age of 12.

“It was after attending a church camp that I decided to give my life to Christ. However, the journey in Christendom has not been an easy one for me,” he disclosed.

At the age of 24 Moore stopped attending church and found his way into the secular world, where he pursued a career as a reggae artiste. Late last year Moore reconnected with his spiritual roots and found his way back to Christ.

He said his youthful exuberance was what made him stray from Christendom.

“I was young and I couldn’t live within the confines of the church,” he said.

Originally from Lyssons in St Thomas, Moore now resides in Albion in the parish.

A past student of Morant Bay High School, he discovered his love for music while attending a performance at the former Goodyear Oval in the parish.

While attending high school, he joined the institution’s acapella group and later on he became a member of the gospel band, Earth Foundation. Affectionately called Gee by his family and friends, Moore started writing songs and poems at an early age. He would then read his pieces to his parents, who were impressed with his talent.

In 2008, he entered the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission’s Gospel Song Competition, where he made the top 10 with the song, Jamaica Needs to Change and won the Most Popular title.

Moore made his exit from the gospel music scene in 2010 to pursue other musical ventures, penning songs as a reggae artiste under the monikers Amarebele and Tony Moore.

Additionally, he found himself pursuing varying academic goals and even developed a love for acting. He auditioned for the part of an extra in the Bob Marley: One Love film but ended up getting additional screen time in the role of a photographer.

Moore has commenced work on a six-track EP which will be released later this year. His latest single is Cover Me, which was produced by Puss Entertainment.

The PAN 2024 grand final will see top PAN Chicken chefs battle it out in a live cook-off, vying for a chance to win the grand prize of $1 million, courtesy of CB Foods. The competition will be fierce as the second and third-place winners will also take home impressive cash prizes of $750,000 and $500,000, respectively.

Winners will also receive prizes from PAN 2024 partners including CB Chicken, National Baking Company, Red Stripe, JN Money, Walkerswood, and WISYNCO.

With 30 competitors, including two wild cards representing the parishes of Kingston & St Andrew, Portland, St Thomas, St Mary, St Ann, Trelawny, St Catherine, Clarendon, Manchester, St Elizabeth, Westmoreland, St James and Hanover, the stage is set for an epic battle for who really has the better tasting PAN Chicken.
