http://www.preachpastor.blogspot.comEmail ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to Facebook12:09 PM PreachPastor.com 5 commentsEmail ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookElder Craig Williams of "The Seal Breakers" speakswith DJ Worship More on the "Your'll Soul Music Hour".DJ Worship More:Welcome to "The Your’ll Soul Music Hour" on PreachPastor.com.We are with Elder Craig Williams and "The Seal Breakers"! Music for the King is what my Spirit feels, when I hear the brassy sounds of "The Seal Breakers".DJ Worship More:Question:We would like to learn more about you Elder Craig Williams, and the talented members of "The Seal Breakers." Please give us some background about your group, and a breakdown, sort of a "who’s who" by instrument within the band.Seal Breakers:Answer:The Seal Breakers are a brass shout band out of the heart of Brooklyn NY. The home of Barbra Streisand, Chris Rock, Hezekiah Walker and Jay-Z. Lol I started the group in 2001 and the Lord has blessed us to start training young men from Greater St. Stephen church where I serve as Youth Pastor, to other young men from the surrounding area who just want to change their lives. When I began the group I figured we would just minister at our local church but little did I know that God had a bigger plan for our ministry and that was to take this music across this country and around the world. So, I’m glad that God’s purpose for us quite often out measures the goals we have set for ourselves. Our band consists of:Craig Williams/Lead TromboneKenny Carr/ Lead TromboneDavid Hawkins/ Lead Trombone/Fifth tromboneDanny Hayes/ Lead Trombone/ split tromboneKeith "KJ" Johnson/ Tenor tromboneDevin McCauley/ 3rd TromboneZachary Williams/Split trombone/ Third tromboneDarrell Wallace-11 years old/ baritone hornMarshall"Twin" Brooks/ baritone horn/ sousaphoneWade Harris/ third tromboneJermaine McGriff / third trombonePaul Patton/ third tromboneJamal Coleman/ sousaphone-bass hornDrums/ James"Big June" Robinson Jr.Loren Dawson/ all keyboards  DJ Worship More:Elder Williams, when I read about the challenges that you had to endure during the early beginnings of "The Seal Breakers", I just shook my head and said, WOW! I know that you were comforted by the Spirit knowing the Word of God say’s:For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. (Hebrews 10:36)For those of you who aren’t familiar with the history of the group, in brief, here it is:Elder Craig Williams formed the praise band in 2001, known then as the "The Eagles Praise Band". Unfortunately the use of the name "The Eagles" could be a potential copyright infringement upon a rock group with a similar name. Dr. Jamal Bryant whom was blessed to hear the band three days prior, gave Elder Craig Williams a call that would not only be uplifting, but defining. Dr. Jamal Bryant said, "God placed you in my Spirit and I wanted to know what you are going to call your group?" Elder Craig Williams told him he had not decided, but was praying about it. Dr. Jamal Bryant replied, "God told me to tell you to call the group the "The Seal Breakers!"DJ Worship More:Question:This is a two part question Craig, first, how difficult was it to pick up and re-name the group? Also, what advice do you have for other artist whom may encounter a similar experience such as yours?Seal Breakers:Answer:It was very difficult. The Eagles had been our name from the group’s inception. It eventually became the name everyone recognized. As I mentioned before God’s purpose for us often exceeds our myopic scope and honestly when I began the group I had no idea that one day we would record. When some of the producers of the documentary we are working on approached me with the news that they were going to have an issue clearing the documentary for the television networks because of the potential copyright infringement issue I was hurt but I remained open to the voice of God. I’m grateful for being raised in a home that believed in prayer and prophecy so when the Lord gave us the new name I was able to discern his voice and flow with the move of God. I would tell other artists to keep a strong, informed team of business minds around you who can help you to avoid some industry pitfalls and always be open to the voice of God to shift you into the divine purpose he has called you to. It may be uncomfortable but the will of God is often uncomfortable because it calls us from what is convenient and comfortable and like Abraham to a place that God says I will show you. You won’t know until you get there! So trusting God completely is essential for any facet of ministry God calls us to.DJ Worship More:Now let’s get to the music and ministry of "The Seal Breakers". Elder Craig Williams "None Like You: The Remix" a wonderful song! There is none like our Lord.DJ Worship More:Question:Was there any reason why you selected the song "None Like You" to remix?Seal Breakers:Answer:Yes, the other music on our album is all instrumental but my good friend Kenny Carr who produced this album along with me composed this great song called "None Like You" that we imagined would be great if it had a chorus on it. That’s all it really was supposed to be at first but I was led to call my long time friend, producer Jason Hendrickson and I told him "its unconventional and unheard of in the brass band style but lets blow this song out." Full instrumentation, vocals, the whole nine and by the grace of God he blessed us with this Remix. It features Jason Hendrickson, my niece Matia Washington and Karyn Porter all of whom are phenomenal vocalists. We are very excited about this song and we have been receiving great support for it across the country and internationally now. So, to God Be The Glory! DJ Worship More:Question:What other songs do you have on the horizon that we should look out for?Seal Breakers:Answer:The album will be released in early October and it’s a wonderful blend of contemporary and traditional gospel, jazz with some New Orleans second line sprinkled in. I love the entire album but I find myself enjoying different songs depending on where I am spiritually and emotionally. Look out for Compassion, Oh Happy Day, Love and When I See The Blood. It will have you shouting and crying at the same time! LOL DJ Worship More:Question:Where can we read more about "The Seal Breakers?"Seal Breakers:Answer:Follow us on Facebook/The Seal Breakers, Twitter @thesealbreakers and look out for the video "None Like You" (Remix) on Youtube. Please purchase our single on Itunes and Amazon.com it will encourage you.Do you have any Shout Outs? Shout Out to Kenny Carr, K. Black, Delray Entertainment, my dad Bishop M.D.Williams and Greater St. Stephen Church, Bishop and Evangelist Celeste Washington and all those who have shown us so much love from the root to the fruit. We love you all.Everyone Elder Craig Williams and "The Seal Breakers"

Sounds_blk.jpg 
 
Sound of Blackness celebrates their 40th anniversary with the release of their 10th album. We have all enjoyed the diverse forms of African – American music presented on every album and will continue to graced with even more wonderful music in the tradition of the great Gary Dennis Hines founder of the multi-talented international music institution.
Focusing on themes of reconciliation, healing and “Ubuntu”, translated from its Zulu origins as   “humane-ness”, Gary Dennis Hines the founder explains: “Music can be our primary method, mode and means of avoiding annihilation and achieving peace.  Music is God’s perfect form of communication, because what comes from the heart reaches the heart, what comes from the soul reaches the soul and what comes from the spirit reaches the spirit.  At the very rhythm and heart of humanity is Ubuntu – “I am because we are and I am what I am because of you.” “We are human because we share the human characteristics of generosity, consideration and humanness toward all others.”
The three time GRAMMY award winners have released the album’s first single entitled “Fly Again” featuring track co-producer and co-writer Christian rap artist Xross and special guest Jamecia Bennett, the daughter of former Sounds of Blackness vocalist the amazing Ann Nesby.
The Sounds are highly regarded for their singing of traditional spirituals, “Soon Ah’ Will Be Done” and “Ev’ry Time I Feel The Spirit” will be on this self-titled sixteen-track CD from the GRAMMY-winning band.  Promising an collective time piece for your music collection, we recommend the purchase of “Sounds Of Blackness”.

Press Release- KC Ford's 2011 How2Conference

 

Kc Ford is the creator of the 'How-To' Conference for Small, Minority and Disadvantaged Businesses. http://www.howtoconference.com

 

 

Frustrated with conferences that herald the millions of procurement dollars available for small businesses without much detail on how to tap into that market, business owner KC Ford of GettingThere4Him, Inc., founded the How2Conference to provide such details. This October marks the 7th conference to be held at the Comfort Inn in Bowie. These conferences are designed to help better prepare small, minority, and disadvantaged businesses bidding for prime and subcontracting opportunities with government agencies and commercial businesses seeking their services or products. Unlike many conferences where you may get just an overview on a topic, conference speakers have shared information of real value to attendees, empowering them to move forward in pursuit of available opportunities. You won't find a better venue to get answers that help propel your business to succeed in government and commercial contracting.

Angelia Robinson- Official Music Video for Who R U?


 

Inspirational Recording Artist, Angelia Robinson, who is a spokesperson for the Diva By Cindy Brand as well as a Sunshine Promises Board Member really put her hands to the work on this day. Her music video "Who R U?" which touches the issue of being judged based on your past has been changing the lives of millions since its' debut. It was only fitting that it become a part of this very special day in order to bring even more empowerment to these women, many of whom have had their self-worth stripped from them. "I have worked in the human services field for over 20 years and at My Sister's Place Lodge for 9 years. I can say, I have never been to an event that did not parade the mentally challenged, the mentally ill, or the homeless; as these poor people let us help them. No one felt demeaned, talked down to, glared at, or pointed at because the circumstances of their lives lead them to where they are now. The greatest gift the ladies feel they received was being special and being loved; being loved unconditionally. " says Linda Day, Staff Coordinator at The Sisters Place Lodge of the feedback from the 1st Diva Project. We intend to keep this very same spirit with every Diva Project.

 The Diva Project May 2011


I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to read about and even consider supporting my vision to help women. This is my passion but I could never make it happen alone. God may be my source but he puts his people in position to help execute HIS purpose and plan for all of our lives.

 

Love and light,

 

Cindy

The Diva Project interview with Cindy Tawiah

THE VISION



The Daughter of Diplomats, Cindy Tawiah, was born and raised in Ghana, West Africa. Pushed to pursue a career in medicine by her family, Cindy got her first taste of manufacturing when a chemistry teacher gave her a helping hand for a project. "He said, 'I'd like to teach you a practical application; I want to show you how to make lipstick and nail polish.' " It was then that the beauty seed was planted. Before that seed could grow Cindy, followed her parents' wishes and went on to receive a Bachelors degree and career in nursing. Still, something was missing in Cindy's life. "I was disillusioned, depressed. I prayed for a sign. If someone upsets today, it's a sign for me to leave, I wanted to leave and open up a hair salon." That morning as Cindy, went about her duties. She saw that sign, and immediately drafted her resignation letter. But the path to Cindy's dream wasn't easy. With no formal training or experience Cindy, set out to open her first salon. She was turned away from several different banks and multiple rental properties, but she persevered. Cindy, finally found someone who was willing to take a chance on her. In February of 2004, she began reaching out to victims of domestic violence in an effort to renew their sense of self-worth and self-esteem. Partnering with two local shelters, Cindy brought 40 women to her salon, where they received new winter coats (thanks to donations from community), a home-cooked meal and a full day of beauty, complete with facials, hairstyles and manicures. Cindy felt satisfied with the direction in which her life was headed, but at the end of 2006 she noticed she had quite a turnover rate in her salon. Unsure of what to do, she turned to her friend for advice. "He said, 'You need to find your purpose' and I thought "what is he talking about?" My passion is women and beauty. My purpose," I thought was my passion was beauty products. In February of 2007, Cindy, put together a plan of action. She wanted to create a line that was natural and alcohol free. That's when the Diva By Cindy, hair-care line was born. "I wanted them to be products of integrity, something I would use and stand by, something that would empower women; Hence the name, 'Diva.' "
