<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There are some
people whose career paths come to them naturally, but then there are others who
are versatile and have been able to fuse their passions. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One such
person is Garfield ‘Sarge’ Lewis, a comedian and reggae artiste.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Born in Job
Lane, Spanish Town, St Catherine, Lewis was half of the duo Apache Chief and
Sarge, who performed on the comedy scene locally and internationally for some
time.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>According to
Sarge, growing up with a single mom was not easy, but he saw success in his
future.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>“I’m a one-room
boy,” he said. “My life was not always golden. It’s my ambition and
determination to be a success against the odds and all the negativity around me
from others that pushed me forward.”</p>

<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That ambition
would eventually push him into music. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>“I’m very
talented, not just in music and comedy, but also in sports. But it was always
music until I entered the popular Tastee Talent Competition in 1998,” said Sarge,
who is also called ‘Gyal Ediot’.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>“I was not
chosen then, so I re-entered in 1999, where I was placed third in the semis and
second in the grand finals. I went back the following year with a song, which
can be styled as a comedic song. Somehow that one song got me recognised so I
started getting calls.”</p>

<p>And although
he liked comedy and was somewhat fascinated with Sammy Quest and Apache Chief, he
didn’t intend to go that route. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>His first big step in comedy was as part of Grandfada and Son. And after Sammy Quest migrated in 2005, he joined Apache Chief. Together, they gained a following as Apache Chief and Sarge.  </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Unfortunately,
following a brief illness in 2013, Apache Chief died. Sarge then migrated to
Canada, but that was after performing with Apache Kid (the son of Apache
Chief). The two occasionally perform together. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Now living in Canada full-time, Sarge still performs, but he mostly does music. He has even recorded a song called 'Gyal Ediot'. </p>
