G.I.G “Gospel Invasion Group”

No comments 03 April 2011 Under: Black Gospel News

Iceland’s best kept secret, Gospel Invasion Group aka G.I.G, is spreading its love for the gospel throughout Europe and to the uttermost parts of the world through its eclectic style of Modern Worship and definitive messages. Far from a newcomer to the scene, G.I.G has been actively performing and touring since 2002. With four studio albums and two live performance DVDs under their belt, G.I.G is steadily infusing their love for God through music; ensuring that every listener has a chance to experience who the highest of the high is.

As one of the most dedicated bands in the industry today, G.I.G has not only played to large audiences throughout their homeland and abroad, but has also managed to deliver their music within television and film on demand. In fact, their sound is so prolific that other professionals such as Grammy Nominee Sara Kelly have sought out G.I.G to perform with them in concert; such an honor that speaks volumes of the band and their potential.

With all clichés and lists of resume worthy headliners aside; G.I.G is simply a band after God’s heart. Their music has the ability to suspend any audience on the peak of an emotional roller-coaster and by having strong vocals complementing heavy-hitting instruments and anointed song writing, this band solidifies their spot amongst the elite. Gospel music has never sounded better.

Singer Makes First Appearance On BET’s Bobby Jones Gospel, Sunday, February 6, 2011 @ 9:00 AM EST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Nashville, TN — In a year of dramatic firsts, Gospel star Lucinda Moore continues to break new ground in her career and open doors for her current CD, `Blessed Broken & Given’ (Tyscot Records). The singer has won the first Stellar Award (the gospel music industry’s answer to the Grammy) of her two-decade career at the 26th Annual Stellar Award ceremony that took place at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. In an upset vote, Moore beat out gospel legends Shirley Caesar and Vanessa Bell Armstrong, alongside newcomer Fredericka Faison, for the coveted honor.

“I‘m floored and in utter disbelief,” Moore confesses as she ponders this new accolade. “I worked non-stop and fought every obstacle to get here. Now, God has rewarded the hard work I’ve done through the years. I’m so thankful to all of the staff at Tyscot Records, my co-producer Jojo Hill, and my past co-producer Vashawn Mitchell for making me sound great.”

Moore is one of the few women in gospel music who actually has a hand in producing her albums. The 20-year music veteran is best known for her 2006 Top 20 breakthrough smash, “Pressure Into Praise” that she wrote and co-produced with Vashawn Mitchell. However, her latest single “The Fire Baptized Medley” that she co-produced with JoJo Hill, is currently one of the Top 100 most played gospel songs in the country according to Nielsen BDS that monitors radio airplay for Billboard magazine. She performs the song Sunday, February 6, 2011 @ 9 a.m. EST on Black Entertainment Television’s (BET) longest running program, “Bobby Jones Gospel.” It’s her first appearance on the show and this episode will also feature performances from Donald Lawrence and Dewayne Woods.

A mother of three boys, Moore splits her time between her native Connecticut and North Carolina where she moved to care for her now deceased grandmother. It’s bittersweet time for Moore who went through the dissolution of her mentally abusive marriage as she prepared the `Blessed Broken & Given’ CD. “Emotionally I was a wreck,” she says as she ponders the songs she wrote to encourage others. “I’m doing it to help other people come out of what they are coming out of,” she explains. “You don’t have to be unhappy and sit in abuse… This is the happiest time of my adult life.” Visit www.lucindamoore.com or www.tyscot.com for more information.
