EVEN though shots from gunmen 12 years ago left him paralysed and confined to a wheelchair, singer Real VI says his musical dreams are far from shattered.
“In this single, I just sum up the entire ordeal in three minutes. It’s about getting a setback in life, but rising above it despite the obstacles. I really hope that my story will be an inspiration to others,” he said.
Reflecting on the 2004 shooting, Real VI said he started the morning like any other.
“I got up and was sweeping my yard and went next door to borrow my neighbour’s rake. After entering, I realised that there were gunmen hiding out on his premises, and I guess they were startled as I was, so they fired at me,” he recalled.
The 39-year-old artiste, whose given name is Cosmo Watson, said the bullets pierced his neck and spinal chord.
“There were days when I would just lay there and think about what my destiny would be. I sometimes wonder if I would make it out alive or not and what have I done to deserve such an ordeal. But God was still in the vessel and He has major plans for me. I am still doing therapy, and with God’s will and my determination I will walk again,” he said.
Angels Watching Over Me is produced by Earthsource Records out of New York. The label also produced
Successful, another of Real VI’s new songs.
Growing up in Seaview Gardens in Kingston, Real VI attended Tivoli Gardens Comprehensive High School. At age 14, he recorded
Evil Path, his debut single, for Sugar Minott’s Youthman Promotions. This was followed by other singles such as
Ain’t No Stopping Us,
Rich Mi Sey, Baby Girl, and Question.
