Hamilton, ON, Canada

Garnetta Cromwell’s story begins in Montreal as a bilingual, Afro-Metis (Mi'q Ma'q Community) Canadian girl, a musical daughter of a sophisticated strong woman. As a child, Garnetta had a hearing impairment that left her temporarily deaf and required surgical treatment to repair. Loving music gave her the impetus to survive, the determination to thrive, the peace to heal and a reason to grow. She diversified her musicality at a young age with a passion for gospel, blues, country and soul music. Following her sisters in talent contests, Garnetta was a child performer in costumes tailored by her mother and performing hit songs from The Supremes, The Staples Singers and The Jackson 5. With her bold, rich tone and innate talent; Garnetta became the lead vocalist in a junior choir, often performing with her sisters. Her style of upbeat music brings pure joy to all listeners and continues to spread her soulful & funky fusion blues sound throughout her live performances.
