Platinum artist, author, activist, philanthropist, and doctor. Garfield Bright wears many hats and has conquered success down every avenue he’s traveled.
Known as the light skin guy in the quartet Shai, Garfield possessed the looks, a smooth style, and a melodic voice that serenaded the airways throughout the 90s. The ’90s is primarily viewed as a time when some would say the most incredible R&B music was created. Four Howard University students cemented themselves amongst those who provided some profound “Baby making music,” as it was referred to. “If I Ever Fall In Love” reached the #2 slot on the Billboard Hot 100. “Comforter,” “Baby I’m Yours,” and “Come With Me” were also high marks from the quartet as well.
Garfield was always a bright (pun intended) spot for the group. He showed off his vocals on the hit single “Comforter.”
Garfield has been very busy since the prominent Shai days. He’s written a book, spearheaded several programs involving community involvement and continuing African American education, and obtained his Ph.D.
