Karen Clark-Sheard

Karen Clark-Sheard (born Karen Valencia Clark on November 15, 1960) is an American gospel four-time Grammy Award winning singer, musician, and songwriter. The youngest daughter of pioneering gospel choral director Mattie Moss Clark, Sheard began her career as a member of the Grammy-Award winning, gospel legendary female group, The Clark Sisters.[2] She is the mother of contemporary gospel singer and actress Kierra "Kiki" Sheard. During the hiatus of the Clark Sisters, Sheard rose to fame after she recorded her critically acclaimed and much anticipated solo album Finally Karen, which spawned her hit, "Balm in Gilead" (a re-recording of a song she originally recorded as part of The Clark Sisters back in the 1980s for their Heart & Soul album) the R&Bflavored "Just For Me" and "Nothing Without You" - a contemporary duet with R&B diva Faith Evans. Finally Karen became one of the most successful gospel albums of 1998 earning Sheard a Grammy nomination and earning her a Soul Train Lady of Soul Award for "Best Female Vocalist".[3] After her debut album success and much touring, Sheard was hospitalized in 2001 after one of her blood vessels burst during a minor surgery, resulting in doctors giving her a 2% chance of survival. Her testimony inspired the title name for her long-awaited sophomore project, Second Chance released in 2002, featuring a "Secret Place" - which is now considered a classic amongst fans. Sheard recorded two more live albums, including The Heavens Are Telling and It's Not Over (which featured some studio recordings), before releasing All in One, Sheard's first all-studio-recorded album in 13 years. The album debuted at #3 on the U.S. Billboard Gospel Chart and #98 on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart, while its first single "Prayed Up" has so far peaked at #10 on the U.S. Billboard Gospel Songs chart.

TERRANCE LEVI

At the age of eight, I remember coloring pictures of Noah’s Ark in Sunday School. Raised by the television screen, watching gangster movies and listening to music about hustling and thugging, some very bad seeds were planted into my life. I wanted to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous by any means necessary, which lead me to a life of crime. At the age of twenty-two, I found myself involved in organized crime, a lifestyle that would have appalled the Sunday School teachers from my childhood. Working in a circle of crooked professionals, making mind-blowing amounts of cash, I felt I had it all: money, women, cars, power and respect. But then it all began falling apart as my life entered a downward spiral. I had left my wife and kids and narrowly escaped a lengthy prison term. Even though I felt like a young king financially, I was depressed and empty. Then, one evening in October of 1995, I was invited to a church and that day my life was changed forever. I became a Christian that night, and I pledged allegiance to Jesus Christ. That evening at the altar, God delivered me from that lifestyle and saved me from the penitentiary. I immediately felt an urge to go back to the same streets I used to hustle in to let them know that God loves them, and that He has a better plan for them.I began doing outreaches in the community. We did car shows, basketball tournaments with big cash prizes, we had people jumping ramps on motorcycles like Evel Knievel. We also started a service called “Friday Nite Live”, which featured live rap and R&B performances, hip hop dancing, skits, a live DJ, strobe lights, and a 20-inch disco ball. You may say this is common, It wasn't in 1996! But one thing I learned from my past was that if the scriptures could not be communicated in a relevant manner, then the strobe-lights, DJ’s and low rider bikes would be for nothing. Because I was from the streets I combined preaching with street slang and inner-city analogies, making the for a relevant presentation of Scripture tailor-made for my audience.This ministry formula, which some have called revolutionary, lead to five successful years of Friday Nite Live, speaking and preaching engagements across the country, and media coverage. Our mindset was and still is we are willing to do almost anything that will draw a crowd of people so that at some point during the festivities we can minister the gospel to them. We have seen almost 45,000 people saved in our face to face ministry since we began. Then came a defining moment in our ministry. I asked God one evening while watching Christian TV, “Why are the Christian programs the cheesiest shows on TV?” And He said to me, “Well son, why don’t you do something about it?” So our team began creating a new genre of entertainment, which we have coined redemptive entertainment – music and movies that relay a message of hope and give solutions to today’s societal ills. Our films are distributed internationally and have began to produce television dramas and sitcoms. We also travel the country, conducting seminars, conferences and workshops on how entertainment can be used to initiate positive changes in society. Over the years, my ministry team and I have been committed to creating cutting edge tools for evangelism and discipleship and our mission continues to become more and more effective at harvesting the field of souls which is the family business for all believers.

“A great leader’s courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position.” - John C. Maxwell

Like King David, Kerry Fitzgerald Douglas, Sr., marketing mogul, is a man after God’s own heart! His passion for proclaiming the good news through Gospel music became his muse for pushing beyond his humble beginnings.

It’s been nearly 15 years since Kerry Douglas, CEO, President and Founder of Blacksmoke Music Worldwide, Inc. resigned from his good paying day job. He left it all to build a multi-million dollar business.

By faith, with no money in his pocket and taking a job that paid him less money in one month than he previously made in one day, he started Worldwide Gospel Music (WWG). Douglas quickly proved he had a knack and talent for promoting Gospel music. WWG and its musically diversified artist became household names in less than 2 years. The careers of Rev. E. Stewart and the Stewart Singers, Damascus, Darrell McFadden, Revive and a young quartet singer out of Brooklyn, New York named Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson were launched and WWG was ranked #10 in Gospel music sales by Billboard Magazine.

Brandy “B” Jackson has been with VoiceAmerica since 2006 and is the General Manager for the VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network. During Brandy's tenure with VoiceAmerica she has had the privilege to work with many hosts and enjoys taking a show concept, finding the right host and making that show available to our listening audience. She returns to our Internet airwaves as co-host with her long-time friend Kerry Douglas, whom she had teamed up with before. Her greatest joy and pride is being the mother to her 18 year old son Elijah. Brandy and Kerry are looking forward to reuniting on air to bring forth new talent and thought-provoking issues of today.
