Angel Taylor Interview

Angel Taylor Interview
Angel is back as my guest and we play catch up. It's been a few years since she's been on the show and we talk about everything from ministry, music, marriage, and Trinity 5 7. You don't want to miss this interview! Bio:  Blazing the trail to inspire real people through music, Angel Taylor is bridging the gap between R&B, Gospel, and Pop music for an all-in-spiring crossover experience. Reminiscent of the soul-quenching music of the ’90s, Angel provides a soulful, loving, and fulfilling experience that is often searched for but seldom discovered. Longing for that feel-good sound, Angel is creating a getaway from reality that inspired her to create music. Growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana singing in her Southern Baptist choir is what introduced Angel to the impactful Gospel messaging and sound that she would later incorporate into her own music. Gospel is in her roots, and growing up singing in her church choir set the standard for the most important piece of her life, her relationship with God. Beginning her career with two-time Grammy and BET Award-nominated, Dove and Stellar Award-winning Gospel group, Trin-i-tee 5:7, Angel evolved as an artist experiencing the challenges of pushing past the musical, visual, and performative limitations of urban and contemporary Gospel music. Being a member of Trin-i-tee 5:7 provided her many of her most life-changing moments such as performing for personal inspiration Aretha Franklin, Collaborating with Mary J. Blige and the Clark Sisters for a main stage Grammy-Award performance, and embracing the genuine stories of how their music inspired those who often felt shunned from their personal church homes. Becoming a solo artist has always been a dream of Angel’s, and having the opportunity to share her heart, her thoughts, and her love for God, romantic love and all of the things that inspired her in the world is what she is focusing on in her upcoming projects. Angel’s latest single, “Speak”, is a fun, groovy song that takes listeners back to that feel-good sound that remains inspiring in Angel’s life. The lyrics discuss keeping God close, discovering the ability to hear from Him, and being open to what He’s saying in your life. Taken from a song she grew up singing in the choir, this song transports listeners to a great place in Angel’s life. It also serves as a sign of the current times. The current state of the nation is consumed with phones, social media, surrounding events, etc. It is extremely challenging to cut off the noise. Angel’s messaging is defining the importance of quieting everything around you and really focusing on that relationship with God, where you are, and where you want to be with your relationship with God and others in your life.   #AngelTaylor #Speak #Trinity57 #radiopersonality #interviews #radioshowhost #radiolife #radioshow #internetradio #liveradio #radiodj #radio #internetradioshow #radiostation #globalradio #fmradio #syndicatedradio #Realgospelwiththexman #musicindustry #musicawards #gospelmusic #music #sing #recordingartist #xuamalawson #xuamthexmanlawson #xuamlawson #WFSK #RejoiceMusicalSoulFoodNetwork

Part 1 of my interview with the song bird herself Jamika. We talk about everything from music, to ministry, to family and her new song "Get Outta My Way", which is taking off all over the country. Press play and find out why!  Bio:  Jamika Welch is no novice to the microphone. A Peoria native, this singer songwriter has left an indelible thumbprint on the pulse of music: and she is just getting started. Jamika started writing in 2013 but has been singing and performing since the age of eight. Jamika understood, at an early age, her passion for singing and performing was more than just a passing craze. She began honing her craft as a young child and remains both a teacher and student to this day. Although her heart beats for Gospel music, Jamika’s musical influences include choral, jazz, R&B, and musical theater as well. With nearly flawless intonation, accuracy, and pure feeling, Jamika grabs you with the first note and takes you the full length of the journey. Jamika considers her music to be 'Inspirational gospel', which she defines as "melodic sounds meant to uplift, encourage, and minister to the hearts of people". Her songs are birthed out of her personal experiences and how they have correlated with her relationship with God. Because of her diverse musical background, her debut album promises to have a little something for everyone. #jamkia #getottamyway #radiopersonality #interviews #radioshowhost #radiolife #radioshow #internetradio #liveradio #radiodj #radio #internetradioshow #radiostation #globalradio #fmradio #syndicatedradio #Realgospelwiththexman #musicindustry #musicawards #gospelmusic #music #sing #recordingartist #xuamalawson #xuamthexmanlawson #xuamlawson #WFSK #RejoiceMusicalSoulFoodNetwork

His aspirations in secular education were to pursue a career in teaching. His academic pursuit was interrupted by a divine call to plant a church. In 2005 he started his first church, The Ramp Church International now located in Lynchburg, Virginia. As Bishop Younger’s ministry grew, he began to plant other churches around the United States and in other countries. In 2011 he was consecrated to the episcopacy and made a Bishop in the LORD’S Church by a college of regional bishops. In addition to those church plants, other pastors and ministries began to seek his oversight. In response to this overwhelming need, Bishop Younger started a fellowship of churches called the One Way Churches International. He serves as the Vice Presiding Bishop under his Pastor, Bishop Lorenzo Hall. Beyond the podium of his own reformation, he locally serves as director of One Voice, an ecumenical group of clergy from the Baptist, Non- Denominational, Pentecostal, Lutheran, and Episcopalian branches of Christendom. Bishop Younger has served as a Regional Director for Christians United for Israel. Musically he serves on the Board of the Lynchburg Symphony and as a consultant for the Global Peace Organization serving countries around the world.Bishop Younger has traveled extensively for the sake of the gospel with his work spanning nationally and internationally across the United States, India, Israel, El Salvador, Guatemala, Brazil, England, Pakistan, Nepal, South Korea, China, Mongolia and Brazil.

This project was a live recording that has a accompanying videos for each song on the project. Rampology Vol. 2 was released November 2022. Bishop Younger’s greatest joy is worshipping God and pastoring the flock. He has been blessed to achieve many accomplishments in his youth, but in all things, he recognizes his place as a servant in the kingdom and not a lord over God’s inheritance. Bishop Younger is known for his energetic preaching style and prophetic anointing, but his heart’s desire is seeing God get all the glory out of his life. #BishopSYYounger #TheStormIsPassingOver #radiopersonality #interviews #radioshowhost #radiolife #radioshow #internetradio #liveradio #radiodj #radio #internetradioshow #radiostation #globalradio #fmradio #syndicatedradio #Realgospelwiththexman #musicindustry #musicawards #gospelmusic #music #sing #recordingartist #xuamalawson #xuamthexmanlawson #xuamlawson #WFSK #RejoiceMusicalSoulFoodNetwork

Darius Brooks Interview
The legend himself Darius Brooks is my guest and yes as expected he drops all kinds of nuggets into the interview. His song "My Minds Made Up" takes you back to the days more of the message was in gospel music. Tune in and check out this gospel legend!! BIOGRAPHY Darius Brooks, a man who has been one of Gospel’s greatest driving; creative forces may not be recognized by his name alone but by his unprecedented gift. He has been behind the scenes of some of gospel’s biggest songs and stars. For the last three decades, Darius has thrived in almost every musical capacity imaginable from songwriter, singer and accompanist, to arranger and producer for a host of Gospel luminaries that includes Shirley Caesar, Vickie Winans, the late Rev. Milton Brunson and the Thompson Community Singers, and Ricky Dillard, jazz legend Ramsey Lewis, as well as, R&B icons Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder and R&B Diva Avery Sunshine to name but a few. His creative force has an international reach that extends to Great Britain, Sweden, Scandinavia, Italy, South Africa and Germany. Grammy, Stellar and Dove Awards are among the many accolades he has received, and yet, with a resumé already to his credit that most artists, songwriters, and producers can only dream of, Brooks is just getting started. His greatest calling yet became a reality in April of 2009, when he heeded the call to become senior pastor of Grace Central Church. Brooks is best known for placing such treasures in gospel music history as "Safe in His Arms," "My Mind's Made Up," "For the Good of Them," "If I Be Lifted" and many others. The widespread affection for his 2004 release "Your Will" accelerated Brooks' career with numerous television appearances, including his performance and nomination at the 19th Annual Stellar Awards. Don Jackson, CEO, Chairman of Central City Productions had this to say, "My decision to have him perform on the Stellar Awards was right on target because the biggest response we received from that show was in reference to Darius' great performance and stage presence."  BET, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Inspiration Network, and TV One are among the other outlets where Brooks continues to be seen. Brooks is also the visionary responsible for reassembling The Tommies Reunion. The Tommies Reunion is comprised of former members of the famed Thompson Community Singers as well as some new young talent that treasures the experience of working with the faces and voices that sent the group to the top of the charts during the late 80’s and 90’s and ushered in the contemporary gospel sound which led to them being called the #1 choir in the country and placed them permanently in gospel music history. #dariusbrooks #dariusbrooksandthetommiesreunion #mymindsmadeup #radiopersonality #interviews #radioshowhost #radiolife #radioshow #internetradio #liveradio #radiodj #radio #internetradioshow #radiostation #globalradio #fmradio #syndicatedradio #Realgospelwiththexman #musicindustry #musicawards #gospelmusic #music #sing #recordingartist #xuamalawson #xuamthexmanlawson #xuamlawson #WFSK #RejoiceMusicalSoulFoodNetwork
William Murphy Interview Part 1
Nov 4 2022
William Murphy Interview Part 1
Part 1 of my incredible interview with William Murphy. He and I get caught up on family, ministry, leadership, God, and his new song, "Just Us". You don't want to miss the powerful testimony he brings forth as well.  Bio:  William Murphy is a servant of God, husband, father, international gospel recording artist, and pastor of The dReam Center Church of Atlanta, one of Atlanta’s favorite places to worship. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, William Murphy, proceeds from a lineage of preachers, affectionately known as the Murphy Dynasty. The dynasty began with his grandfather, the elder statesman, Dr. William H. Murphy, Sr. who has pastored in Detroit for over 50 years. The anointing flowed to his father, Bishop William H. Murphy, Jr. who has pastored in Pontiac, MI, for 20 years. ​ The grace to declare God’s Word was passed down to William Murphy, III at an early age. He acknowledged his call to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as a senior in high school. He was ordained as an Elder under his father’s ministry, at the young age of 23. During this time, William Murphy,was a faithful and celebrated son serving both, Dr. Murphy and Bishop Murphy’s ministries well. He was influential in shifting both churches from the traditional devotion, at the beginning of the service, to what we’ve come to know now as Praise and Worship. No stranger to servanthood, He served both ministries in every capacity possible: the custodian, the bus driver, the Minister of Music, and as an Executive Pastor. ​ In 2001, William Murphy, moved to Atlanta, Georgia with his wife Danielle Murphy and their two children, to serve as the worship minister at New Birth Missionary Church. While there, Murphy traveled the world ministering in song and preaching the gospel until he and his wife answered the call to Pastor on September 13, 2005. ​ January 2006, William Murphy, and his wife launched The dReam Center Church of Atlanta. The dReam Center Church of Atlanta transforms lives while going through the arduous process of growing as a ministry. Truly an anointed man of God, Murphy, walks with a trifecta anointing of Bishop, Intercessor, and Worshiper. His anointing to declare The Word of God and to lead God’s people into worship has now extended into the role as presiding Bishop of Worship in the FGBCF  (Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship) International Ministries under co-founder Bishop Paul S. Morton. ​ A musical composer (with albums such as Demonstrate, God Chaser, All Day, The Sound, We Are One, & Arise – EP), a perennial worship leader, and Christ-follower who has offered songs that has turned millions towards Christ.
