Singer/Songwriter and Founder/CEO of TGB Records, Jerri Little is a Gospel Soul innovator whose vocals intricately weave gospel music with funk & soul. Singing since the age of 5, Jerri toured with her mother and sister in many states performing at various local and church events. As she got older, Jerri’s gifted vocals became more apparent and soon sparked her soloist career. For many years now, Jerri has shared the stage with various recording artists, such as Marvin Sapp & Donnie McClurkin, and/or recorded with multiple well-known choirs across Chicago. Jerri’s singing abilities led her to a co-starring role where she was also able to perform her original music in upcoming playwright, Lynette Hall-Parrott’s stage play “Sista Girl Be Whole”. She has been a featured soloist at various churches and well-known organizations, such as The Black Caucus and AARC. Jerri was also featured as Artist Of The Month for the online publication, “Women IN Entertainment”. She has also become a regularly featured soloist throughout Chicago via both radio and television, such as the former “Saturday Nite Sing”. Jerri can currently can be seen on various Sunday morning church television broadcasts and programming, such as WGN’s “Singsation!” hosted by the well-known philanthropist, Dr. Willie Wilson, for whom she sings background vocals. Jerri is also one of the very first independent gospel recording artists to premier on TLN's "Inspirational Sounds" and Gospel Music Channel's "Hometown Gospel (Chicago)", with both programs currently airing. Jerri's favorite scripture, Philippians 4:13, serves as a testament of her faith and way of living as she quotes, "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST THAT STRENGTHENETH ME." To God Be The Glory!
