KJ (Mr. YeahBoyy)
KJ who is also known by his musical name, Mr. YeahBoyy, was born in Hammond, Louisiana. His family later moved to McComb, MS, which is in Pike County, Mississippi. He is a member of East Fernwood Baptist Church in Magnolia, MS, which is pastored by Jimmy J. Wilson. There, he began playing the keyboard for the choir. As he stayed planted there under the teaching and encouragement of his pastor, it was later discovered that KJ had extraordinary musical talents. He could play an assortment of instruments such as: keyboard, guitar, saxophone, maracas, bongos, organ and drums with ease. He also was able to compose music and lyrics. As time went by, KJ had become a song writer for various gospel singing groups such as Unlimited Authority, Divinity, and The Stellar Award Winner, David R.

When asked how he comes up with lyrics to songs, K.J. states: “The Holy Spirit brings the words to me and I just arrange them into a beautiful melody that will bless God’s people and glorify the Lord.”

Ontario Showers
You definitely live in a small town if it’s name has creek in it. This happens to be the case for Ontario Showers. Fortunately, huge talent lies in small towns! Ontario Showers, a native of Silver Creek, MS, is a singer, songwriter, and musician with a heart for God and a passion for Gospel music. He has worked with some of the greats in traditional/quartet gospel music. These artists include the Jackson Southernaires, Evelyn Turrentine Agee, and Keith Wonderboy Johnson to name a few. After working for years in the quartet gospel industry, Ontario decided to set his eyes on his first solo recording venture in the summer of 2011. His freshman album, “Varsity Praise,” featured various sounds of gospel music which included praise and worship, contemporary, and traditional Gospel. Sierra Ward of Lisa Knowles and the Brown Singers, The Williams Singers, and Larry Veal of the Veal Brothers were all featured artists on this project! Variety Praise landed a National Rhythm of Gospel nomination in 2012 and a host of regional nominations. One critic said, “Variety Praise is an album that you can just pop in and never skip tracks. Every song is amazing.”
His sophomore album “The Press” released on January 19, 2019. This album features his group Delivered and other background vocalists. With songs ranging from the styles of traditional to contemporary worship, this project is sure to be a blessing to the body of Christ. The Press is available for download on all digital media and streaming outlets. The Press includes awesome songs such as Joy, For the good of them, Great Things, Yes, and He Will Supply. Each one of these pieces carries a message that will convict the nonbeliever and encourage the saints.
When asked, “What type of artist are you?“ Ontario answer is always, “I am a Gospel artist. Whatever the music sounds like doesn’t change the Gospel message.“ Ontario Showers and Delivered are constantly booking dates to share that message with the world.
On another note, Ontario also has seen his days as an actor. In the 2014 James Brown Biopic, produced by Universal Studios, Showers played Hearlon “Cheese” Martin, a guitar player for Brown.
It’s safe to say that no matter the roles or capacity he has to work in, Ontario Showers has proved himself time and time again.

She was introduced to gospel music at a very young age by her grandparents, Walter and Sally Barfield. Mr. Walter Barfield was a gospel vocalist who song at churches all throughout Mississippi and Alabama. Her grandparent’s Christian influence had made a great impact upon her life. She soon gave her life to Christ and began singing at church conventions.
“Your gift will make room for you and bring you before great men.” As she grew, others begin to see how God was using her to minister to crowds as an anointed vocalist, and doors soon began opening for her to sing at weddings, funerals, and reunion talent shows. She graced the stage with God’s presence and when she opened her mouth to sing, that gift that God had given her came rumbling out. People were blessed and inspired by her vocal abilities. Later, she began singing with various female quartets and was background vocalist for some of the best gospel singers around. Surely the Lord was enlarging Margie’s territory.

Bridget Robinson
I am Bridget Robinson, a praise and worship leader as well as a gospel singer. I was born and raised in the small town of Wesson, Mississippi to Betty Robinson and the late Charlie Frank Robinson Sr. Being the youngest of nine children, I was determined to be a trailblazer in my family. Initially, my journey began at the age of thirteen when I opened my heart and mouth to sing my first song. I will always remember how it made me feel to witness the impact my voice and witness could have on others.
Mahalia Jackson once said, “When you sing gospel, you have a feeling there is a cure for what’s wrong.” It was not until my adult life that the words of the Gospel would give me purpose. Every time I stand behind a microphone, I know it is the Great I Am giving me the strength to minister His truth –the cure to all. While my tenure as a worship leader may not be long, my passion for serving others has always been the pulse of my existence. My fifteen-year career in Public Service has granted me amazing opportunities to do my first love—serve those in need. My public service platform served as a birthing place for inspiration for me and others through seminars and conferences I had the pleasure of hosting such as: Love Begins Within, Journey to Freedom, and my very first business, Confidently Me. Jesus has been, is, and forever will be the driving force of my life and my ministry.
