It’s a trait that is developed over the years with experience as a teacher. Brooklyn native rapper David Veira aka “Gauge,” has developed an uncanny ability to discern the needs of his audience and minister to their spirit. Growing up in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York, Gauge, the last of eleven children raised by West Indian Parents, immersed himself in the Hip-Hop culture and started rapping as a teenager. His stock as a rap artist rose and he gained notoriety for one of the highest selling underground hit singles “Cranium”, which sold over 9,000 units and enjoyed airplay on New York City’s radio station Hot 97 for 13 weeks. His career propelled even further by touring through-out the US, England, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, and Trinidad. He was featured on the MTV circuit tour with Soca Monarch winner Bunji Garlin, and hosted an episode of “Sucker Free Sunday.” Despite the success in the secular media through his performances with The Fugees, GangStarr, Wu-Tang Clan, Coolio and Chuck D; Gauge chose to leave it all behind him to follow his calling as a Christian Rapper. On December 31, 1999, Gauge committed his life to Jesus Christ. His new life as a born again Christian led him to deliver a more positive message in his music. On February 16th, 2004, he experienced a major tragedy, when a freak car accident took the life of his beloved mother. Gauge’s faith in Jesus Christ grew stronger from this experience. As a result, he founded Mental Link, Inc, a music, fashion, skate boards, and philanthropic company, which aspires to raise positive values through Christian principles. As a Christian Hip Hop artist he has shared the stage with fellow Christian artist such Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, Viki Winans, Hezekiah Walker and Byron Cage. Gauge and Mental Link, Inc. have produced two albums and several music video since its inception. The first album titled “December Thirty First Nineteen Ninety-Nine” which tells the story of his life before salvation, executively produced by Roger ‘Buddah’ Munroe of the Producers Coalition of America; received critical acclaim from the music industry. This gave him the opportunity to participate as a finalist at the McDonald’s Gospel Fest. The second album titled “January First 2000 (The next day)” tells the story of his life after his re-birth in Christ to the current day, executively produced by Chris “Rock” Belmont of then JahRock’n Productions. The album features the production and vocals of many talented artist including Grammy award winner Rockwilder and Pettidee. “January First 2000 (The next day)” won the prestigious Kingdom Choice award for 2010 album of the year; and the video titled “Best Friend”, won both the Kingdom Choice award for best rap video of the year and the San Diego film festival award for best Christian rap video of the year.
