Influences
Parents, Pastor Trunell Felder , Bishop Rory Marshall, St.James A.M.E. (some of the best people you will ever meet), John James, and every other church or organization I've been associated with: New Faith Baptist Church, Cosmopolitan Community Church, New Covenant M.B. Church, Christ Temple Baptist Church, St. Titus, Pullman Christian Reformed Church, Nehemiah Urban Church Ministries, and last but not least, New Mission C.O.G.I.C.
Special shout out to the Homewood Flossmor, and Rich South Gospel Choirs (At HF I was able to really experiment and grow as a leader, director, and singer)
SONGWRITERS
R.Kelly (don't agree with his lyrical content most of the time, but he's super versatile when he wants to be, and can tell a story!!), Babyface (makes you "go in" on a r&b song, lol), Donald Lawrence (the name speaks for itself, enough said), Percy Gray (The king of Sunday morning songs. Writes songs that the average church choir can sing, which is a lost art. He also believed in me from the jump!) Anthony Lowe (first songwriter I really knew), some CCM (great lyrics, simple chord structure, no over-singing)
Special shout out to Tony Tidwell, and Pastor Dan Willis
MUSICIANS/DIRECTORS
Kevin Bond, Rodney East (I hate to use the word "pretty", but when he plays, it sounds so "pretty", lol), Daniel Weatherspoon (can take a "weak song", and by the time he finishes the music arrangement, it's a "great song"), Cliff Dubose, Pastor Eugene Gibson, Chris Foreman
With so many artists putting out CD's, it very rare that you see or hear someone who can stand out amongst the bunch. Well, if you've ever experienced the ministry of Kevon Carter, then you can definitely say that he is truly one of a kind. He has written for the Stellar award winning Dewayne Woods (God Still Heals, You Shall Reap), Kevin Vasser (God's House), Grammy nominated Chicago Mass Choir (Cannot Tell It All, He's Working It Out For Your Good). "I Cannot Tell It All" was also re-recorded by famed southern gospel group, "The Talley Trio". Most recently, he had the opportunity collaborate on some music with songwriter, producer, artist, extraordinaire Donald Lawrence. Kevon is also a past winner of the Albertina Walker Scholarship.
Comfortable with being "behind the scenes" Kevon has always tried to fight the call on his life to be "in front". After much procrastination, Kevon has finally submitted to the will of God, and is releasing his debut project entitled, "PHILIPPIANS 4:13". "PHILIPPIANS 4:13" features the production skills of Daniel Weatherspoon (Donald Lawrence, Shekinah Glory), Loren Mcgee (The Clark Sisters, The Murills), and "Jon Wain" (The Oprah Show). Kevon writes all of his own songs, and takes the writing process very seriously. "I am not gonna blow anyone away with my vocal prowess, lol." "So it is very important that I write songs that reach the heart of the listener". Also, Kevon writes on various topics for this project. "I love praise and worship, but I feel my music should represent who I am as a person." "Yes, I love to worship, but I also love to have fun." When you listen to the music of Kevon Carter, you will praise and worship, but you will also be challenged, and encouraged. God has given Kevon a unique ability to make you laugh, while at the same time giving you a message.
Kevon Carter is a member of New Faith Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Trunell & Rev. Alexis Felder. He is happily married, and the proud father of two.
