Nassau, Bahamas. (Jan.31, 2009) The Executive Board of the Marlin Awards is sad to report the death of one of our nominees this year, gospel dancehall-recording artist Kasim ‘Moses’ Grant (1980-2009). According to online media reports, Moses was found dead in a gully in Gordon Town, St. Andrews, Jamaica this past Tuesday January 27th. Moses was apparently involved in a shooting incident the night before where one man was injured.
 
 Also according to reports Moses was not a licensed firearm holder and apparently fled the scene following the shooting. His body was found hours later with his right hand and leg broken. According to the website www.go-jamaica.com “ There is still uncertainty as to whether he fell while running or jumped to his death”. The site also indicated that “The police say no bullet wounds were found on his body” and that “A post mortem is to be conducted on February 10th to determine the cause of death”. Moses wife was also expected to give a formal statement to investigators on matters relating to her husband’s death.
 
 According to Marlin Awards President Kevin Harris “ We were all shocked to learn of the death of Moses who was just beginning to ignite a creative spark in the world of dancehall gospel. Moses contribution in both the secular and gospel music industry was invaluable. Though many may consider his time in the music ministry short, I believe that beyond his death and through his lyrics and music, he will continue to touch lives with the gospel of Christ.
 
 On behalf of the Executive Board and Committee of the Marlin Awards as well as all of our nominees, speakers and presenters, I would like to officially offer our condolence to the family of the late Kasim ‘Moses’ Grant”.
 
 Moses was nominated for three (3) Marlin Awards last year including Culture Recording of the Year for “Feels It Knows It”, Deejay Vocal Performance of the Year-Solo for “Thunder Roll” and for Pop/Rock Recording of the Year for “I Ain’t Scared (with Jai).
 
 Winners will be announced during this year’s Marlin Awards, which will serve as the final event during Marlin Weekend 2009, scheduled to be held March 26-29 in Nassau, Bahamas under the banner “Gospel in Paradise”. This event is expected to attract hundreds of recording artists, songwriters, producers, managers, retailers, radio announcers and music fans from throughout the Caribbean as well as from the United States, Africa, Canada and Europe.
