ISAAC SIMPSON & DIVINE PROVIDENCE
The time is now for gospel recording artist Isaac Simpson and his group, Divine Providence. They recently won the coveted title of "Artist Overall Winners" at the Gospel Music Academy's regional competition in Nashville, Tennessee. Isaac Simpson is a 3 time GMA award winner. This summer, they will compete at GMA in the Rockies, in an effort to bring home the national title and catch the eye of record label execs at this premier Christian music event and competition. If that wasn't enough, Divine Providence is also planning a summer tour and CD release celebration and LIVE DVD recording for their latest project "The Time is Now."

Songwriter, vocalist and producer, Isaac D. Simpson is the visionary behind Divine Providence, also known as DP. Simpson, who comes from a long generation of singers, songwriters and entertainers, has been involved with music since childhood. He began to conduct professional workshops and direct citywide choirs at an early age. By the time he was twenty-six, he had conducted workshops throughout the U.S. and in the Caribbean Islands, Great Britain and Europe. He has shared the stage with gospel greats, Vicki Winans, James Moore, Marvin Sapp, Kurt Carr and Rance Allen. He graced the stage with Coretta Scott-King, appearing as a special vocalist at a celebration honoring her and appeared on the Bobby Jones Gospel Hour.

Originally from Los Angeles, California, Simpson founded DP in 1998 to give young Christian adults an outlet to share their music with the world. He came up with the name Divine Providence while listening to a sermon by Bishop George "Awesome" Dawson. The name means 'instantaneous will of God'. In just one year's time, the energetic youth chorale from Central Ohio, produced an album titled "He Loves Me." Written, arranged, and produced by Simpson, the project is influenced by jazz and hip hop.

Currently, Simpson travels with Apostle Brian Keith Williams as a psalmist and leads worship at All Nations Church in Columbus, OH. Simpson believes that this generation will be saved through gospel music. "Gospel music is wonderful," he said. "It has the ability to transcend from generation to generation." Transcending generations is one goal Simpson shares with DP; the second is helping others bring their lives into focus with their God-given purpose.
