A. JERMAINE & ASCENSION
A. Jermaine's vision began in the summer of 2004. What started out to be another "group" is now a music and outreach ministry that is out to spread the word of love, hope, and unity to each and every generation through song. Ascension is made up of close friends that aren't even considered friends; they refer to each other as family. A. Jermaine says, "We've all been through in some kind of way, so it's easy to relate to others. We are not just people that come together and sing; we are all active in our own churches and live the life that is pleasing to our king."

G3
"G3" (God Gets the Glory) was founded by Donald "Buster" Woods in January, 2007. Inspired by a vision from God, Buster noticed the absence of youth and young adults active in the church and music ministry on Chicago's West side. Realizing this absence raised concern and caused Buster to call together a core group of people to assist in making his vision become reality. It was Buster's #1 goal to focus on youth ranging in ages from 14 - 22 (high school freshman to college seniors), providing them with an outlet to express their love to God and for music while gaining exposure outside of the normal church experience.

J. SHEP
Singer, Songwriter, Musician, Producer, Husband, and Father, Jason Shepherd, also known as "J. Shep" is an artist who desires to expand the boundaries of the gospel industry and create a genre of "Gospel Pop" that reaches the average man. Often time artists use extreme case scenarios to deliver poignant messages of salvation, renewal, forgiveness, redemption, and hope. However, J. Shep aspires to reach not only those who are encountering extreme situations, but those everyday people who are dealing with the everyday trials, tests, insecurities and concerns of life.

KATALYST
Katalyst was born to die. Born to take breath until his body of flesh ceased to function and he would exist no more. He was born a sinner, an enemy of God and in need of a savior. But when he was born again and his old nature died, He became alive in Christ! Birthed in Queens, New York and living in 4 other states before his family settled into the ghettos of Chicago, IL when he was 8 years old -- his father, a minister, taught him through lessons and by his life how to study the word and be a man of God. At a young age at thanks to the gentle encouragement and teaching of his mother he gave his life to Jesus Christ making him LORD over it. Since then Katalyst has been consumed with spreading the message of the gospel to a dying world.
