Gerald Crab was born in Rosine, Kentucky, a small rural town, which is also the birthplace of Bill Monroe, the founder of bluegrass music. At age five, Gerald sang for the first time in public at a church in Louisville, Kentucky. Even as a child he had a passion for music, and by the time he was 11, he had learned to play the guitar.
At the age of 16 he began his ministry and preached his first sermon in a small church near Horse Branch, Kentucky. Since his ministry began, he has pastored seven churches-two of which he founded.

He has written over 400 songs and has had 22 national number one songs. From Jan. 1998-Dec. 2006, one or more of his songs held the number one spot on the national southern gospel chart for 37 months out of a 107-month period.
1994 Gerald founded the international known group The Crabb Family.
Gerald has won multiple songwriter of the year awards,
