The first full length LP from Debbie Gaskin, chronicling her work recorded with Local Dish during her time in Toronto.

Deborah Gaskin was born in Bridgetown, Barbados; during her youth she absorbed the vibrant soul, reggae, calypso and spouge (a style indigenous to Barbados, popular in the early-mid 70s) being recorded on the island at that time.

Debbie got her start in music in her 40s, when she began singing in calypso tents and hotels in Barbados. It was around this time that she started to compose original music, receiving songs fully formed from a divine source (something that continues to this day).

In the late 2000s, Debbie made the decision to move to Canada in order to take care of an ailing friend who was living in Toronto. Debbie made contact with Local Dish through happenstance and over the years recorded a number of tracks in living rooms and basements, keeping her faith in music through many hard times. In 2023 she moved back to Barbados where she resides today.

The songs on this album present a tiny sampling of the staggering amount of material Debbie has composed and continues to compose, receiving songs and arrangements in all styles imaginable and occasionally other languages.
