Work as a vocal singer

After a break from basketball, Garland joined his sister R&B/pop singer Whitney Houston, by participating in her Greatest Love Tour in 1986 as a duet/background vocalist. This led to a continuous work relationship; he was featured in several of Whitney's tours throughout the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and her final tour, 2010's Nothing But Love Tour.
