Aliciadine on Fox 5 "Good Day Atlanta"
Since 2001, Aliciadine (pronounced “ah-LEE-shah-DEEN”) has ministered to the multitudes from local churches and venues to international television shows to the White House.
With a distinctive voice laced with an anointed spirit, ALICIADINE is rapidly becoming one of the most distinguished psalmists within the Christian music industry. With her current releases "Even Now" and "Child of the King" - both written and produced by Steve Twyman (keyboardist for Gospel legend Pastor Shirley Ceasar), ALICIADINE is crossing all cultural boundaries with her musical ministry with music for all to enjoy.
Raised in a musical family (a jazz pianist father, a vocalist mother and a classically trained pianist aunt who once played for Gospel legend the late Rev. James Cleveland), ALICIADINE began playing the piano and singing at the tender age of seven at Tabernacle Baptist Church in her native Augusta, Georgia. There she sang with various choirs within the church, and played for the church's Sunday School for a number of years.
During the years that followed, ALICIADINE has won numerous awards for her musical and vocal talents, including placing as a finalist in Atlanta's Entertainer of the Year Awards in the Gospel Category sponsored by W H T A-FM Hot 97.5 FM (now WPZE-FM Praise 97.5) in Atlanta.
BUT NOW........
Now, the Atlanta-based Contemporary Gospel recording artist, songwriter, and producer, is taking her gifts toward a greater plateau, ministering and inspiring all who listen to her rich vocals etched with the message of the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
ALICIADINE's debut single has gained rapid response from Gospel music lovers all over. Within the first year of her debut, she has been featured on "Inspirations Across America" hosted by Mike Roberts (which has aired on over 100 radio stations across the U.S and worldwide, including Africa, Asia, Europe and the West Indies). Within the first few months of her debut single release as an artist, ALICIADINE received international CD sales from as far away as Japan and France, with domestic online and in-store sales in various markets nationwide, including California, Colorado, Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, New York and Texas. Her new debut album is due for release in 2009.
DOORS OPENED TO ALICIADINE BY HER LORD AND SAVIOR....
ALICIADINE's current single "Even Now" has also been featured nationally on the "BOBBY JONES COUNTDOWN" radio program and "THE LIGHT" radio network.
"GOD has blessed me through many of the trials and tribulations that went on in my past. With the gift the Lord blessed me to have, I'm using this to share the message of GODs love and mercy to others. There are scores of people in the world who have gone through either the same degree of challenges as I, or more, who need to hear the Word and be encouraged."
"A couple of testimonies shared with me by people who have been blessed by my gift from the Lord are: One dates back in 2002 while conducting a pre-concert sound check in Charlotte, N.C. (opened for Pastor John P. Kee), where an employee of the venue told me how blessed he was by listening to my singing and encouraged me to move on to greater heights! I thank him for that. Another testimony occurred at a former place of my employ, where a then-coworker told me how her live-in boyfriend, who is a musician himself, played my CD over and over again, after being emotionally and spiritually moved from listening, told her that they were living together in sin being unmarried, and proposed to her right there on the spot! These instances manifested that this musical ministry is indeed blessed by God, as it says in Matthew 28:20, for me go unto the world and spread the Gospel for all to hear, receive and obey as taught by Christ."
Music video for her debut single "Even Now" is currently broadcasting on a number of Gospel television shows, including The Word (national) Network, Sky Angel Satellite Television Network, Glory to GOD Television and WATC-TV - both in Atlanta, and the Parade of Quartets in Augusta.
In December 2006, God ascended Aliciadine into an historic moment in her music ministry by singing at the White House at the annual Pageant of Peace. She has also ministered to millions via a host of television shows, including WAGA Television Fox 5’s “Good Day Atlanta” (hosted by Suchita Vladamani and Mark Hayes), Bobby Jones Presents on the Word Network, Babbies House (hosted by Babbie Mason) on the INSP Network and via national syndicated radio shows “Inspirations Across America” and “Bobby Jones Countdown” on “The Light” network and before 22,000+ with her rendition of the American National Anthem for the Atlanta Braves in 2004.
She has been featured in a host of local and national publications, including CREATIVE LOAFING, the anniversary edition of IMANI Magazine (featuring Bishop Paul Morton on cover), the ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION, AUGUSTA CHRONICLE, ATLANTA GOOD LIFE MAGAZINE, AUGUSTA FOCUS, METRO COURIER (Augusta, GA),and the SPELMAN MESSENGER (Atlanta, GA).
ALICIADINE: A WIFE & A MOTHER, GOD'S SERVANT.........
A graduate of Spelman College, ALICIADINE is married to Mark Oliphant, who is also her personal manager, and proud mother of one daughter, Carolyn Janet, a senior attending Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy (high school) who currently an aspiring model wants to become an attorney and own her law firm. Aliciadine is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc and worships at Fountain of Faith Missionary Baptist Church in Riverdale, GA under the pastorship of Rev. Reginald B. Newman.
In between her travels and performances, Aliciadine maintains her first purpose of her ministry of serving others. She directs a choir and ministers at an Atlanta area transitional center for women formerly incarcerated and preparing to re-enter the community. She also mentors youth at various parts of the metro Atlanta community; and participates in food and clothing drives for the homeless.
“Helping young people is my passion, for they are our future,’ says ALICIADINE, who plans to open centers for youth across the country that place emphasis on self-esteem, academic tutoring, career planning and development. ‘I want to help young people learn to feel good about themselves, and gain a sense of self worth. This will be a place they can call home until they are able to get on their feet. All of our young people deserve the best.”
ALICIADINE wishes to spread the good news of Jesus Christ through song and music to the masses that stand in need to be blessed by His Word and fresh anointing.
