For the past 13 years, Keisha Salmon has been an ordained pastor, leading the flock at Ministry of God’s Love Inc on Facebook and through her prayer line. In her teens, she was a bit of a wild child who got tamed by the Word.

Salmon gives thanks to the Almighty for transforming her life on ‘Thank You Father’, her first song, which was released in December. It is produced by Andre “Dretegs” Hawthorne, a rising star in the New York City gospel scene.

The Montego Bay-born Salmon speaks openly about her life in the world.

“I see for myself that God is real and He has brought me out safe and alive from all the bad situations. If it wasn’t for God I could have been dead; or in prison etc, so I wrote the song inspired by the Holy Spirit,” she said.

‘Thank You Father’ came out two years after the release of ‘From Pit To The Palace’, her autobiography which not only reflects on Salmon’s life in Jamaica and the United States, but the importance of faith in an individual’s life.

“I need people to understand that when we make wrong choices in our life, there are serious consequences and that each one teach one, so that person reading my book will relate to my story because they are faced with similar situations and they will understand that they are not alone and if they seek God’s help they too can overcome,” she said.
