Gerard Brooks’ Story Behind the Music: I’m always inspired to write songs during praise and
worship. For this particular song, I was at an event and a young lady was
singing about drawing closer to God and the fire of God. I had my songs all
prepared to sing. However, the more the young lady began to sing, the more I
began to think about my relationship with Christ. My desire is always to please
God. I could not shake what the young lady was singing so when it was my turn to
take the stage, the 1st words out of my mouth were “You are my
desire…” That was my honest prayer to the Lord. After I left that night,
I began to work on the song and when I went to work the next day, I came up with
the vamp that says, “I wanna be a flame for you.. let me be a flame for
you…burn in me God.. Burn in me.”  I began singing this song at
churches all over Detroit and it’s the same response wherever I go. I got
with my producer, we came together, recorded the song live and the rest is
history. Our President made a statement that he wants to make America
“great” again.  I want to see the church on fire for God
again.

Advice for Aspiring
Artists: 
Ministry starts at home. Always make sure home is taken care
of before you minister. Serve at your local church. The more you sing, the more
confidence you gain. Be faithful in the small things. Be consistent,
intentional, and work hard at what you do. Never despise small beginnings or not
so great opportunities. You’ll never know where your blessings will come
from. Always be polite and live out your faith before others. Sing and write
songs from a pure place that will touch the heart of God and edify his people.
And more importantly, humble yourself so that GOD can exalt you… in due time
of course!

BIO:

Gerard has a passion for worship and edifying the people of
God through preaching and singing. He is a minister of the gospel, an anointed
psalmist, songwriter and actor.

On March 6, 2009 Gerard stepped out on faith and released
his 1st solo project, a Maxi single entitled “It’s Me.” After that He
was called upon to sing at several conferences and revivals around the
country.  He has also appeared on
numerous Gospel television programs such as Bishop Greg Davis (The Word Network’s ‘Rejoice in the Word’)
from, Dorinda Clark Cole (TCT’S The
Dorinda Show), Dan Willis (TCT’S I’m
Just Saying), A Regular Guest Psalmist on ‘TCT Celebrate’ Broadcast, Just
to name a few. In April 2011, Gerard released another Maxi single entitled,
“Made For Your Glory” which is being requested by many listeners every day.
Gerard has been the featured Artist of the month with WEXL Pat Butler’s show on
1340AM and 103.5FM in Detroit.

Currently, Gerard is the Worship
Leader and Minister Life Changers International Ministries where Stacey Foster
serves as Pastor. 

In March of 2013, Gerard released
his first full Independent album entitled
“Praise..Worship..Warfare..Freedom!!” 
This project is to encourage believers to stand for Jesus in these last
days.  With Same sex marriages and the
homosexual lifestyle becoming the norm, The breaking down of the family, People
using Abortion as a means of birth control, and a society who is slowly
drifting away from God, Gerard’s  mission
is to inspire believers to not back down from the enemy and to live a lifestyle
of worship and praise.  This Album is to encourage,
challenge, and cause believers to Praise the Lord, Worship the King, Wage a
good Warfare against the enemy, and to Walk in their freedom. 

On Thanksgiving of 2016, Gerard
released a single called “Flame.” This song is becoming the anthem for the
church in this generation. In a time when it seems as if the body of Christ is
being attacked on every hand, God is still reviving the hearts of the
worshipers. “This song isn’t going to change the world, but I believe it’s just
a spark to start a fire in the hearts of the believer” says Gerard. 

Gerard feels that God has called
him to share the Good News whether it is through teaching or preaching or
singing a song.  He allows God to use him
and feels that every opportunity to minister for and to God is an honor because
we owe God everything and so much more. Gerard’s motto is “I was taught at
an early age that Whatever you do, do it from your heart because what comes
from the heart reaches the heart.”
