Jonathan Butler, a South African singer-songwriter and guitarist who rose from poverty and apartheid to international fame. Born in South Africa, he was the first non-white artist to be played on national radio and TV, and his music inspired Nelson Mandela during his imprisonment. Discovered at thirteen by British producer Clive Caulder, Butler’s debut single broke racial barriers in South Africa, earning him a Grammy®-equivalent award. His self-titled debut album received Grammy® nominations for the hits "Lies" and "Going Home," solidifying his place in popular music. Despite his success, Butler remains dedicated to his faith, family, and giving back to his homeland.
Maysa, is a renowned American jazz and soul singer known for her smooth, velvety voice. Born on August 17, 1966, in Baltimore, Maryland, she gained prominence as the lead vocalist for the British band Incognito in the early 1990s. Maysa’s solo career took off with her self-titled debut album in 1995, showcasing her unique blend of jazz, R&B, and soul. Over the years, she has released several acclaimed albums and collaborated with notable artists like Stevie Wonder. Her distinctive voice and emotive performances continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
Gene Moore, a Motown Gospel artist, faced numerous trials after a promising start in his career, including losing his job and financial difficulties. Deep in prayer, he embraced the concept of "tunnel vision," focusing on his faith and perseverance, which inspired his second album, Tunnel Vision. The album's lead single, “Won’t Be Moved,” co-written with BJ the Chicago Kid, reflects his message of resilience. Raised as a pastor’s kid, Gene discovered his musical passion later in life and transitioned from a career in radio to becoming a background singer for notable artists. Despite early setbacks, his breakthrough with Motown Gospel led to a successful album and a creative team that shaped his distinct sound
