Wayne Stoddart
Hear the music of Wayne Stoddart
Born in Kingston Jamaica Wayne Stoddart currently is the musical director of the Hands of Life Worship Center, Miramar, Florida. He has clear qualifications as a gospel singer but his latest release is pure radical roots reggae with an up-to-date contemporary Jamaican feel Deeply inspired by the music of Bob Marley and the Wailers and Jamaica's 70s roots reggae style, Stoddart?s lyrics and music are true to life and created on quality reggae rhythms. His sound is unique and it brings a breath of fresh air to gospel music with positive, uplifting lyrics and originality. His previous shows at the WorldBeat have been all sold out to young enthusiastic audiences.
Elijah Emanuel
Elijah Emanuel was raised in Panama, where he was exposed to Rastafarian culture and reggae music through the Jamaicans who worked on the Panama Canal. Their spirituality attracted him immediately. Emanuel calls himself an ?activist for Hispanic cultural integrity?, and thus his lyrics are a mix of English and Spanish. He concerns himself not only with Rastafarians, but also with faiths of all forms, stressing the need for Mayans, Aztecs, African Americans and Native Americans to look into their history to find more spiritual and creative ways to live.
Evangel
Hear the Music of Evangel
Emerging on the scene in 1990 as a Gospel Rap artist, Evangel was on the cutting edge of urban Christian music. Born in Riverside, California, Evangel grew up hearing great music. Today she has developed and matured into a seasoned recording artist that sings, raps, writes and produces the majority of her material.
Evangel & M.O.R. have shared the stage with many top Christian Recording Artists.
