ISLAND TRIBE SIGNS WITH TYSCOT IN HISTORIC GOSPEL DEAL
In a landmark move for global worship, Island Tribe Collective, the Caribbean’s premier worship movement founded
by international gospel artist and Caribbean gospel pioneer Sherwin Gardner, has officially partnered with Tyscot
Records as the iconic label approaches its 50th anniversary.
This partnership represents a defining moment for Caribbean gospel music. Island Tribe Collective brings together
voices from across the region including Kevin Downswell, Alicia Taylor, and Trecian Smith-Bryan of Jamaica; Marc
Isaacs and Alyssa Joseph of Trinidad and Tobago; John Yarde and Jaicko Lawrence of Barbados; Colyn Kristopher
of The Bahamas; alongside Sherwin Gardner and many more, creating music that reflects the culture, faith, and
sound of the Caribbean for the global Church.
With their debut release “Living Proof” already making impact, the Collective is establishing itself as a fresh and
authentic voice in the contemporary gospel and worship space, blending Caribbean rhythm with congregational
worship in a way that connects across cultures.
“This moment is deeply meaningful for us,” says Sherwin Gardner. “What started as a vision to unify the Caribbean in
worship is now stepping onto a global stage. Partnering with Tyscot is not just an opportunity, it’s alignment. We
believe God is using this to amplify a sound that has always been here, but is now ready to be heard around the
world.”
Tyscot Records President Bryant Scott shares the sentiment. “Island Tribe Collective carries something special. There
is authenticity, excellence, and a clear sense of purpose in what they are building. We are honored to partner with
them and help take this music to a wider audience.”
As new music, live recordings, and international collaborations begin to unfold, this partnership signals a new chapter
not only for Island Tribe Collective, but for Caribbean worship as a whole.
Many islands. One sound. One worship.
