APPLEJAXX Applejaxx was born into a musical family. Everyone from his mother to cousins, have all influenced him musically. His mother and sister have amazing voices, as do his aunts, uncles and cousins, who sing, rap, play instruments and also produce music. Growing up in a musical family placed a solid music foundation in Applejaxx. Along with family, Apple's musical influences range from hip-hop to rock. 4th Avenue Jones, Tonex, P.O.D., Snoop, Jay-Z, Kirk Franklin, Switchfoot and Lauryn Hill are examples of prominent artists that have influenced Applejaxx. Freestyling with friends, writing lyrics about his nightly visions and bumping music before b-ball games placed a desire in Apple to reach the world with music.

LAVIE In Miami's gospel music scene, there is an artist whose vivacity, vibrancy, and all-out attitude about God resonates so powerfully that she is fittingly called La Vie, which means The Life and because she believes in experiencing the ZOE life that God intended for us to have here on earth. Née Charline Louis, this young woman sees her ministry going to every corner that regular gospel can't enter because she, "like[s] to think out of the box and open the minds of God's people, churched and un-churched."

CHRIS LEE Gospel music has long been inundated with traditional "church" music and overused cliches, keeping the younger believer and average music listener at bay, or at least apprehensive. With a wealth of talented Christian Hip-Hoppers, Kansas City was screaming for a new R&P presence. Enter "Kryptonite". Chris Lee's first studio album is full of honest, 1st person issues, brought to life by R&B melodies meshed with Pop/Electronica synths that are sure to grab you by the imagination and thrust you into a vivid picture scene painted by the movie-like storyline.

PRAYZ1 Whether he is spitting a hot 16 bars, or leading the crowd into a melodic worship, the anointing that God has placed in Prayz1 is undeniable. He was in love with music by the age of four. By his teenage years, he was a well-known local rapper, but his music was secular based. In 1998, the Philadelphia native witnessed the redemptive power of Jesus Christ and his life has never been the same. He heeded God's call on his life and put aside a potentially promising career as a college athlete to pursue his musical ministry. The singer/rapper is changing the face and sound of Kingdom music.
