Happy New Year!!
I know, it's been a while, but I'm back again with another posting!
Gospel Unplugged was privileged enough to celebrate the new year w/ Destiny Music Group at their Sandy Relief Concert on Sunday, 1/6/13 at their of 2013 and we had an awesome time!
The concert took place Roulette, a beautiful theater space in the downtown Brooklyn area right off of Atlantic Avenue. The first artist who hit the stage was Thomas Clay. This was my first time hearing him and boy oh boy was he AMAZING! He started off explaining that though he writes R&B music for other artists, for himself, he can't see himself doing anything else but gospel because he understands the call that God has on his life for ministry. Following this, he sang a song that was pretty much an R&B song to God! It was soooooooo amazing! Whoo! And then he went into a song called "I Need A Heart For You" where he also played guitar and as the song proceeded, it became a mini worship session. The presence of God was sooo strong in that place. I've got to say, Thomas Clay is one anointed and super talented artist. My fiance got his CD and I can NOT wait to preview it! (I know, it's been a couple days, but it's been a BUSY couple days lol).
A rapper by the name of Stephen the Levite also graced the stage and did 2 selections, one of which he was accompanied by DMG's very own artist, Antia, who did an amazing job on the hook/chorus (I totally think I have a vocal crush on her voice! lol). Then DMG came to the stage, led by Aaron Brockett, and sang two of their original songs, one of which was "I Wanna Go To Heaven". They're really such a talented group of vocalists and musicians!
Lastly, Chantae Cann hit the stage and she was incredible!! The first time I heard Chantae sing was in December at a close friend's wedding. Before then I had only heard YouTube clips so, since the wedding I was super excited to hear her sing again. Her voice is unbelievably beautiful and has such a pure sound!She sang two originals and on the last one Aaron Brockett and Thomas Clay came on stage and sang with her. It was the perfect ending to an amazing event.
I would definitely go to another DMG event in the future! To stay in the loop with DMG or to get more information about their company, visit their website, www.destinymusicgroup.net!
