The multi-talented Myron Butler didn’t want to think that he would win an award at the 2007 Stellar Awards. He won a bunch and was excited about being compared to other phenomenal artists. He was moved by the ministry displayed by Donald Lawrence. Giving from one artist to another, from one generation to another is what it is all about. […listen now]
LaShun Pace is a tremendous woman of stamina and perseverance. She has endured the death of her daughter, two divorces, sickness and yet she still sings praise to God for all He has done. Her latest project, Complete, is a testimony to her belief that God is yet on the throne and worthy to be praised. She and Justin Gilbert produced the CD. [
Kurt Carr (ever the dapper gentleman) enjoyed the many powerful moments experienced at the 2007 Stellar Awards. It was hard to choose just one but his selection will give you a chuckle. Carr thought it was a very balanced gospel evening. He also spoke briefly of starting a new clothing line for men. Look for it in the very near future. [
Vanessa Bell Armstrong believes the theme of giving was what the Lord wanted the crowd to hear at the 2007 Stellar Awards. When Kirk Franklin began to preach to the crowd (who didn’t really want to hear what he was saying), Armstrong believes people began to understand about giving one to another. She knows this is so needed in the industry. [
With the help of West Coast-based producer Shep Crawford (Whitney Houston, Kelly Price, Yolanda Adams), new artist Onitsha was able to bring joy and fun through her debut CD, Church Girl.

Deitrick Haddon collaborated with friends from Detroit, R&B producers Tim and Bob, on his current CD, 7 Days.

From Tim and Bob, Haddon got the real beats, the real stuff – not too spiritual but the CD will get people “over the hump.” [
The latest project from The Anointed Pace Sisters, Return, was a process but led to musical growth for all eight sisters.

Grammy award winning balladeer, Smokie Norful, opens his heart about the new album “Life Changing”. His discussion about family, ministry and artistry is one that sheds new light on the anointed voice of this man of God. “Life Changing” will not only delight current Norful fans, but will create a legion of new ones, as it is infused with Norful’s renewed passion for songwriting-containing musical selections ranging from praise and worship to traditional to urban pop. [
Bridgeport, Connecticut native Lucinda Moore gets excited when she discusses her self-titled national debut project.

She is humbled by comparisons that have been made with gospel artist Vickie Winans. [
The new group 21:03 says they weren’t intimidated with being produced by PAJAM. Group members Sean, Evin and Torrance state that rather than being overwhelmed by their producers, PAJAM creatively nurtured them, allowing a better understanding of their collective vocal gifts in Christ. The evolution of their music is on their self-titled debut. [
As a producer, Anthony Evans has worked with numerous artists. As a singer, he seeks to display his lifestyle of worship so that others will grow closer to the Lord. His latest project, Letting Go, stems from his understanding that God is faithful even when we are faithless. He still also travels with his dad, Pastor Tony Evans. [
