Who I Was Created To Be Had To Take A Back Seat To What Everyone Wanted To See —Gabriel Cannon My name is Gabriel Cannon, I am a script writing, public speaking, rap artist, filmmaking child of the most, High King, Jesus Christ. I’m on a mission to use all my gifts for His glory, so I don't end up like the guy who hid all his gifts in the parable of the talents. (Matthew 25:14-30) Raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, I am the middle child of my father's five sons. Shaped under the influence of my father's love for Dr Martin Luther King and Bruce Lee, and he and my mother's shared love for Jesus Christ and Michael Jackson, our daily life somehow always ended with a living room Gospel concert/karate tournament. Growing up, my father always had some form of a youth group whether it was called "High Achievers" in their unforgettable blue and yellow matching tee-shirts or "Drug-Free Youth" in the era where my brothers and I were old enough to participate, my dad would always create some reason to bring all the inner city boys together and teach them entrepreneur skills; how to make money selling candy (Door to door sales) At any given night between the early 90s to the early 2000s, you could see vans full of young urban boys hopping out, not to commit crimes but to make sales. I'll never forget the speech I crafted through the years that my young mind thought was perfect, "Hi, my name is Gabriel Cannon, I'm with this amazing organization by the name of Drug-Free Youth entrepreneur, it's designed to help young men like me stay in school, stay off the streets and earn an income. By purchasing one of these delicious varieties of boxes of candy, you would really be helping our cause and also a personal goal of mine of becoming the highest seller." After many door slams, people pretending they are not home and dog chases, this was the best presentation, sweet and to the point.
