Carey B. Grant is a Canadian Christian involved in music ministry in Canada.

Carey B. Grant is a Canadian indi singer/songwriter. His music is poetic and well put together. Listeners will be encouraged, entertained and touched, through his music.

Carey has always wanted to record a record that would capture a live feel & have breathing space; without compromising the atmosphere & message that is timeless. " I don't want to write a formulated song or genre of song; just so it can fit into the mould that most industries seem to allow."

I want to express who I am as an artist; during these present times & get real life experiences that I've had, recorded on records. I need to get these songs recorded & allow them to be born," say's Carey.

Producer David Rashed, suggested that Carey go back to where he started in His musical journey. So I went into the basement & set up my guitar and just played trying not regulate every sound that I heard. This brought inspiration & dormant ideas to the surface. The result was a much more Live & unihibited CD called "Free To Fly". Some songs were inspired by dreams and the ideas were recorded spontaneously & live off the floor; while other songs were worked & built on favorite musical ideas. "Free to Fly" is a guitar driven CD that captures the many song-writing styles of Carey; and features: Eastcoast Producor; & member of Canadian Rock Band, Haywire; David Rashed co-writing & gtrs. & Tommy Detamore steel gtrs / Floresville Texas.

Thanks John Wedlake Sept / 09

• " Hi Carey,

Glad to see You are pursuing your career; since in this time and era you are most likey to reach people through your music. I know, I have seen one of your concerts, where people couldn't move very well at the front and moved to back of the room so they could sway and dance more freely. That was amazing to Me since some of the people of all ages, were older. They wanted encores but it had to come to an end; so You see, You can stir up a crowd. So continue to do what The Lord has empowered You to do, Work with all wonderful instrumental gifts and knowledge to compose music. Praise The Lord with a New Song. " Marie Clair Sept/09 Charlottetown PEI
