Quality production is the consistent trend over the years for the talented young soul, who is now gearing up to release his 5th studio Album ‘Don’t Count Me Out’. With this album, Jermaine has made certain the production quality is up to international standards by enlisting the services of the master engineer of International Gospel artiste Kirk Franklyn.
Each single on the album came from valuable lessons Jermaine has learnt on his Christian journey and throughout daily experiences. However specific tracks ‘Don’t count me out’, ‘Beautiful Day’ and ‘Won’t stop me’ resonate with him all the time, he anticipates that those who hear the entire 15 tracks will be ministered to in a similar way.
