CHARLES JENKINS
Three times may actually be a charm after all! Coming on the scene in 2012, this artist’s breakthrough release “Best of Both Worlds” quickly snagged the #1 spot on Billboard’s Gospel Music Charts. His second project followed suit by bombarding its way into the #1 spot again with his hit single “War”. Currently, Jenkins has the #2 single in the country “Grace” and critics are projecting he’ll be grabbing that familiar #1 spot again with the release of his sophomore project coming in March 2018!

JAMES FORTUNE
Inspired by Kirk Franklin, this song writer, arranger and vocalist has had numerous hits and has been nominated for multiple awards since his album debut. While homeless with four children, he created and released his hit single which went on to become the #1 song in the country for over 29 consecutive weeks! One of the most transparent and innovative artists of this generation, he’s captured the social media/pop culture demographic with his ability to fuse hip-hop with an uplifting message of hope, forgiveness, healing and grace. His current single “Favor of God” is burning up the radio airwaves and being performed by HBCU’s bands across America! Persevering through turbulent times, James Fortune is humbly hailed as the proverbial poster child for redemption!
