Shakal says ‘Put God First’

Jamaica-born dancehall-reggae singjay Shalkal is banking his efforts on his latest single Put God First.

"I feel like I've been guided through life by putting God first, and many of the things I've acquired is because of consistently putting God first in every phase of my life," said Shalkal, whose given name is Shalkal Carty.

He was inspired to pen the song after realising just how much God had truly blessed his life and paved the way for success in his endeavours.

"This song has been incubating in my mind for a long time. I just thought it's now time to put pen to paper and bring the song to life 'cause I do believe in a higher power," he said.

Shalkal also puts God first in all his life plans and business ventures. He has asserted that it was God who helped him with one of his most challenging projects to build an apartment complex in Runaway Bay, his home town. He states that putting God first will also give you the fuel to accomplish your dreams.

"Putting God first is not just something you say. If you live your life according to this specific plan, it will move wonders in your life," he said.
