GDP BIOGRAPHY  
Garvin Dean Project
formed by Garvin Dean in 1999 came together again in 2005 to do a gospel project. Garvin Dean is a native Huntsville, AL, and it was there, growing up on the campus of Oakwood College that he developed his love of music. As a child, he spent many hours listening to his father, Arnold Dean, who is a phenomenal classically trained pianist and organist. Everyone in the family is into music and is talented, so to him writing and performing music only seemed natural. The band is currently based out of the Charlotte, NC area, but has enjoyed performing all across the US from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles, CA.

The band's core members, Kimberly Carter, Enjoli Howard, Jennifer Bellamy, Teneka Davis, Vinette Dye, Tonnette Sabbater-Reid, and Garvin met over dinner one Sabbath afternoon and just started singing around the piano. "We realized right away there was a special vibe in the room, and decided to do something with it", said leader Garvin Dean.
