AL Garvin has been singing and playing Gospel
Music since he was 9 years old. Born June 8, 1972
in Brooklyn, New York, AL is the fourth child out of
eight born of his father, the late Rev. Ardo Garvin
and the late Mother Chesterbelle Garvin. AL became
an avid guitar player at the age of 6 and by the time
he turned 7 years old took interest in an old upright
piano at his church. The Pastor, Mother Chrisalow
anointed AL's little hands one afternoon as he sat
and played the piano and spoke a prophetic word
into his life that he would become a master at
playing. And, his older sister’s (Vanessa) hands
were also anointed and placed on his shoulders. AL
never forgot how God used Pastor Chrisalow to
draw out his many musical gifts and talents. And
master many instruments, he did! By the age of 21,
he was an accomplished pianist, keyboardist,
guitarist and bass guitarist.

AL started ministering across the country musically
at the age of 9 years old with various groups such
as The Philco Gospel singers, The Rhythmistics and
in 1986 when he was just 14 years old he began a
singing group, which featured the vocal and
musical talents of his family called The Gospel
Prevails Singers. Hailing from Hollis Queens, New
York, AL eventually settled on Long Island in
Amityville. In December 2005, the group revamped
and emerged with a new, God-inspired name and
renewed excellence called The Ministry of 2nd
Chances, Which consist of S.W. Washington, Elijah
Garvin, and Paulil Kitt
