ADRIANNE ARCHIE Born and raised in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, NY, Melvin Crispell was born into a family of musicians, singers and dancers. Coupled with being raised in the church, Melvin soon found out that his destiny had already been written and trying to escape the music that was within would be like trying to live without breathing. "Both sides of my family either sang, danced or played instruments," states Melvin. "So being around music almost on a daily basis, at home and at church pretty much sealed what God had placed in me to do. My extreme love and passion for music and my love for God has truly shaped my destiny."

KENNY LEWIS & ONE VOICE Kenny Lewis & One Voice; a divinely appointed group of people, came together as a ministry in January of 1999. One goal was at hand: to enhance and add to the kingdom of Jesus Christ though their unique delivery of music ministry! This did not begin when they first ministered to the masses, but in their own personal lives. The evidence of this is the testimony of some members who were once entangled in the traps of our day and time. Being changed through the WORD that they now minister to their communities, they press to share the good new and unconventional love of Jesus Christ!
