Eleven 2 Twelve by Gary L. Wyatt

In 1980 Gary began to record music in the studio with his brother Kenny. By 1982, he recorded his first solo demo project of 8 songs. In 1987 he recorded his first single release entitled “Continue”. This song became the #1 song on Seattle’s KNHC Gospel Showcase hit list. It also gained him notoriety as the Northwest Male Vocalist of the year in 1988, 89 & 90, voted by the listening audience. This launched a “cross-culture” music ministry that has taken Gary across U.S. and Canada, ministering in practically every denomination, culture and nationality.
