Favorite Song - "Perfect Praise (How Excellent)"
Favorite Memory - My favorite memories were at our concerts, particularly the
ones with Rev. Hezekiah Walker. We would have such an awesome time. We
were blessed to have worked with so many dynamic leaders in the Gospel
music ministry. I was also blessed with the many friendships that
developed from being a part of New Life!
I am married (since June 21, 1997) with 2 children (Da'Ryeus, age
6 and Wisdom, age 3). I also work with children, those considered to be
At-risk for failure and Behavior problems. I sang in an accapella group called, Anointed Children of
God in Massachusetts until I moved to NC. I am currently the Director of
the Youth and Mass choirs at my church. On occasion, I sing background
vocals for Chanda (Bailey) McKnight in Atlanta (also a former New Life
member). Check out her website: www.chandaleigh.com
