Live Performances by:
DeeJay BreAna Whiting
We both have a love for music and know that this is one of the “good works” that God has planned for our lives. We do music together in the form of writing music, recording it, leading worship, as well as taking on opportunities to perform at weddings, conferences, virtually, and anywhere else that we are invited and feel led to.
Deon Q. Sanders
“Altruist Light,” so aptly describes the Dallas, Texas native known as Deon Q. A Singer, songwriter, and entertainer, she unselfishly delivers captivating performances with a glowing smile and stage presence that not only lights up a room but hearts as well.
Darius Johnson
Darius is known for his soulful style of playing, often being compared to other legendary guitarists such as Jonathan Dubose, Erick Walls, and Jubu Smith, to name a few. Darius has performed with many artists such as Johnny Gill, Patti Labelle, Marvin Winans, Kirk Franklin, Liv Warfield, Fred Hammond, Myron Butler, and many more.
Vincent Hall
Vincent’s love for music began as a teenager when he played trumpet in the marching band and learned most of the brass instruments. Vincent is a committed choir member and one of the founding members of “Devotion” a gospel ensemble and has performed in a number of plays, musicals, and recording sessions. He has been blessed to learn from local music giants, Andrae Rhyne, Monya Logan, Paul Jackson, Shaun Martin, Saul Gates, Chadney Christle and the Legendary Jewell Blanton Kelly!
