Johnny Gill to perform at Caribbean Fashionweek (CFW)

R&B superstar and singer of the worldwide number one hits My My My, Rub You The Right Way and Wrap My Body Tight, Johnny Gill, will perform at this year's Caribbean Fashionweek (CFW). Gill is the first of the celebrity performers to be announced by Pulse for the 10th anniversary event. According to Pulse, other stars will be announced shortly for the June 8 to 14 event at the National Indoor Sports Centre.

Pulse said 2010 would be a record year for the event. From as early as January, CFW had received more designer applications than it had ever received in a single year. With the addition of the Haiti Art and Fashion benefit event on Thursday June 10, the collections are now scheduled for four nights of shows, instead of the usual three.

Designers will come from more than 20 countries, including France, Germany, the UK, Belize, the USA, South Africa, Haiti, The Dominican Republic, Jamaica and several other countries.

Recording career

Johnny Gill was born in Washington, DC, the son of a minister. He started singing at age five in a family gospel group called Wings Faith, which included his brothers Bobby, Jeff and Randy. His recording career began in 1983 when his childhood friend, singer Stacy Lattisaw, convinced him to record a demo. This demo fell into the hands of the president of Atlantic Records and his self-titled debut album was released shortly thereafter, featuring the minor hit, Super Love.

With more than 80 television and film appearances as a singer and actor, Gill earned much acclaim for his cameo role on the hit TV show Family Matters and recently thrilled audiences singing You For Me in Madea's Family Reunion.
