Hosting this fantastic event was Andre Mullen of FNFLive.com. His exuberance and liveliness was just what the praise party needed, someone who can keep this event going as the praise elevated. To open up the evening we had Shel and Push Play. Their high energy set the night off right and we we're able to move to left in Jesus name! Following Shel, Tre Thomas from Washington D.C. came and gave us some new material from his new album 'Finally'. Up next was TRU Praise they came and took the praise to another level! The did a new song called 'Change' and their hit catchy tune, 'Glad'. They surely had the people on their feet, between the emphatic horn lines and the excitement of lead singer Marcus Pass, you had to get up and join in on the praise!! In between artist sets we had DJ Cale on the 1's and 2's give us music to jam too as the artist were getting ready.
Now it was time for an A-Minor Musik artist to grace us with their presence, Danielle Lewis took the stage! She presented to us a new praise song that she co-wrote with fellow artist Matt T. called 'Shout it Out', this song was truly magnificent and I would not be surprised if it is an anthem sung around the world! Following that great song she led us in an island praise with 'Redeemed', and we surely 'Let the redeemed of the lord say so!' After Danielle, we had the beautiful Denise Powell from Connecticut and she did songs from her "Free To Flow" mixtape. Her smooth vocals accompanied by smooth chords played by her husband, Doobie Powell, set the stage for the featured artist, Chris Jackson.
Chris also known as C-Jai was doing this Praise Party as a Christian artist for the first time!! He has awesome accolades as a songwriter for Day 26, Toni Braxton, Adam Archueletta, and more whether it be Christian or not. He started off his set with 'Joy' from the A-Minor Musik compilation album that was released in 2010. With the band bumping and the all male background vocal trio dancing, this was setting up to be something amazing! After that he gave his testimony on how his father had heart surgery and how God spared his life and then he went into 'How Great is our God' followed by 'I Need You'. This medley with the testimony was so pure and real that even in the midst of a Praise Party it showed that worship is one of the best ways that we can communicate with God. That medley really blessed me.
After that he went into his most current single 'Rearview Mirror' which can be found at www.aminormusik.com. This song had so much energy as Chris can that you have no choice to say goodbye to everything in our past. The set was closed out with a song called 'All The Maybes In The World'. This song is so dope! It explains that whatever God wants us to do, nothing can stop us, and I believe that this song summed up a great night and a great performance by Chris Jackson. Here is a video from Chris' performance:
