TODD CURRY & FOCUS
New-school, urban Gospel group, Focus, was formed in the spring of 2003. Rooted in Greensboro, North Carolina, not only did they physically enter a new season, but embarked on a new beginning to an incredible journey. The group, consisting of 13 anointed minstrels, led by Gospel impresario, Todd Curry, would lay and continue to build on the foundation of "pure" ministry.

The vision for TLC Outreach Ministries (parent to Focus), given to Curry and his wife in 1999, would ultimately become the base of this phenomenal group. As an ordained Elder, Minister of Music, musician, singer and songwriter, Curry purposed to ensure that all of these elements would work together, keeping God's intent of reaching people and saving souls at heart. Even now, as Focus expands their ministry to include a music industry career, Todd affirms that "God and the ministry will always come first." 

Standing as a vocal/musical powerhouse in its own right, Focus' style can be compared to that of Gospel acts such as John P. Kee and New Life Community Choir, Donald Lawrence and Tri-City Singers and Kirk Franklin. However, the most stand out fact about this group pertains more to their character than it does to their sound. Focus seeks to bring something new to an industry that has become increasingly tainted, parading righteousness masked by corruption. It is with the main intent of dispelling negative connotations of gospel music and displaying that it "really" is about the ministry that Curry and Focus look to reach people with their music.

Over the past year, Focus has encountered a number of awesome experiences, all of which they attribute to God's Favor. They have had the opportunity to work with one of Gospel music's most sought after producers, Cedric Thompson. They recently completed the recording of their debut album, "It's All Good", and held a local listening party for a packed house. Focus hopes that the album will be released sometime in the very near future. While these things were all outlined in the original vision, the group is truly excited at watching God's plan and purpose for them come to fruition.

Focus is looking forward to doing great things in the future, including performing/ministering at churches in the Virginia and North Carolina areas as well as participating in a venture to create Christian nightclub locations and atmospheres for young people. As the group has gone through God's purging both as individuals and as a unit, they are now ready to ascend into the greater things to which God is calling them. While they will continue their work as a "grassroots" ministry on the local level, they're now ready to go "all the way" national for Christ.
