Dream In Soul – Creativity for the Kingdom:

You may have first heard this young talent on Kirk Franklin’s latest album “The Fight of My Life” on the track "A Whole Nation." He was 11-years-old at the time and truly brought the song to life with his powerful vocals, singing about the importance of fathers raising their children.

Now 12-year-old Donovan Owens is releasing an album of his own, and he’s ready to minister to the whole nation with his amazing God-given gifts. Donovan’s debut album “All That I Have” will be released online Saturday, June 20th, by Diversity Records.

On the album Donovan sings about life as a young person, and the difference in his stride: “If I don’t go to every party, and I don’t hang with everybody is that wrong,” he sings on the single “I’ll Be That.” He continues the song standing his ground for God: “I know you’re thinking that its strange that I choose to be this way, when everybody else has gone astray… they can say anything about me, but you’re never gonna break me down.” The song has a cool R&B flavor and a catchy beat, and people of any age can relate to the lyrics. Donovan delivers smooth vocals throughout the album and shows that he’s not new the scene, having performed alongside Gospel greats such as Dorinda Clark-Cole.

On June 20th Donovan will also host an album release concert in his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at the Christian Faith Fellowship Church. The concert will include performances by Serita Campbell and Mark Anthony Harris. For full concert details click here.

Make sure to show your support for this young artist, as he inspires us that you’re never too young to use your creativity for the Kingdom!

Sheri Jones-Moffett was recently signed to EMI Gospel, and her upcoming album Renewed will be available August 11, 2009 in stores and on and itunes.
Moffett has always been known as a collaborater and as a featured vocalist, from The Tri-City Singers to her duo work in Ted & Sheri, and you’ve heard her powerful voice behind many hit songs including the powerful Grammy nominated song "Encourage Yourself." This summer she’ll be making her debut as a solo artist.

“We have loved working with Sheri since Donald Lawrence first introduced her to us as part of The Tri-City Singers a number of years ago – we feel she has been part of our family." said Ken Pennell President EMI Gospel. “So to collaborate even more closely with her now in her first venture as a solo artist is especially fulfilling.”
