Michael Thompson is from Coatesville, PA, yet was raised in Chester, SC. As the husband of Sherrita Thompson and father of their daughter Nahla Reign Thompson, Michael takes pride in being what he calls an Avid Seeker of the Kingdom of God. He is obsessed with bringing forth this Kingdom and it's culture into fruition all around him. The main way he believes this is possible is through using his talents God has gifted him in music, to create an atmosphere conducive to God’s presence. As an instrumentalist/rapper/singer/songwriter, Michael's musical journey began with the saxophone in the school band when he was in 6th grade. At this time he only was taught to play from reading sheet music. A few years later, he would begin playing at Holy Tabernacle C.O.G.I.C. in Coatesville, PA, where the late great Music Minister Paul Lee, Sr. gave a young willing vessel a chance to develop his gifting. This is where he was able to learn how to play by ear. From playing at many church functions his sensitivity and responsiveness to the horn heightened. His musical path crossed on numerous occasions with Psalmist Anthony Jermaine Nixon/Mobley (also known as A. Jermaine) and Elder Roland Holmes (also known as Duff). He begin playing for a band called A. Jermaine & Ascension where he toured the east coast a few times, became a recording artist and hit many stages and met many great musicians and artists along the way. Upon graduating high school, he attended Charleston Southern University to study performance major. Michael believes that music is the ambassador of thought. His favorite scripture in the bible is Matthew 6.

La-Shell originated from Newport News, Virginia but has been a North Carolina resident for many years. Her love for music started early and was influenced by her mother who had a passion for singing soulful songs and her father who had a love for playing instruments and writing in a band with his brothers. As a young child she would sing around the house and occasionally get in trouble for singing a bit too loudly and while at the dinner table. She secretly dreamed of being a country singer. Although she comfortably sang around the house, her shyness for singing in front of people was a big deal to overcome. In school, La-Shell sang in chorus and played the saxophone for several years. She wrote her first song right before starting high school. In college and a few years following, she sang with gospel choir Voices of Eden and started singing on the praise and worship team at her friends’ young adult ministry. During that time, while uniting with some heavy music-driven friends in Charlotte NC, she regained her passion and excitement for creating music and started writing Christian and inspirational songs. La-Shell has since sang with different praise teams, groups, and background for artists in NC and SC. She now sings worship and has been planted at Empowered Love Ministries International (E.L.M.I.) in Concord, NC. There is so much more work to be done and so much more to be seen. “Don’t let any fear keep you from doing what you love and know you should be doing. Listen to your heart strings and the rest will play out.”
