The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences announced on Friday, December 5, 2014 The Walls Group’s first Grammy nomination: Best Gospel Performance/Song for “Love on The Radio,” written by multiple Grammy-Award-winner Kirk Franklin.
“Love On The Radio” spent 17 weeks on the Gospel Radio Chart and peaked at an impressive #9 position.

“This is a special day for me and the entire Fo Yo Soul Recordings/RCA family,” said Kirk Franklin. “We are thrilled about receiving this Grammy nomination for our first signed artist, The Walls Group. I’m feeling like a proud father today!”

FAST FORWARD, the critically acclaimed album by The Walls Group, debuted at #1 on the Gospel Album Sales Chart, Billboard’s Top Christian/Gospel Albums Chart, iTunes Christian & Gospel chart, and Amazon’s Gospel chart. Executive produced by multi-platinum gospel star Kirk Franklin, FAST FORWARD features 10 tracks of modern, up-beat and progressive music with strong gospel influences. FAST FORWARD is available everywhere music is sold.

Inspired by the group’s multi-generational appeal, Franklin wrote and produced 8 of the album’s 10 songs and appears on the compelling track, “Beautiful.” Eldest member of the group, Darrel also showcased his pen, writing two tracks featured on the project, “Great Is Your Love” and “Freedom.” The album includes power collaborations with R&B artist Brandy on “God On My Mind,” and popular Christian rapper Lecrae on “High.”

The talented Houston-based siblings, Ahjah (17), Paco (18), Rhea (19) and Darrel (23) have been on the fast track to success that includes going on a national House of Blues tour with gospel phenom, Tye Tribbett , performing as BET Music Matter’s artists on 106 & PARK, and debuting a #1 selling album that received over a million streams on Spotify—but the group remains humble. The whole group co-signs the soul-searching single “Satisfied,” saying it reminds them to keep their eyes on the true prize.

SHILOH 2014 Day 3




All the participants in Shiloh 2014, can agree with me that the 3rd day was another unforgettable day in their lives as Heaven on Earth became a reality. There was an amazing worship session and breathe-taking performance by the Anointed Kids. The major high point of day 3 was the message for the night as delivered by Papa. The message came under an unusually heavy prophetic anointing. Papa declared that a Holy Ghost riot was on, where everything that didn’t look like heaven in the lives of God’s people will be terminated. He continued his teachings on “Heralding the Era of Heaven on Earth”. Declaring that maintaining a life of righteousness, joy was prerequisite to maintaining ones citizenship in this new heaven on earth. Regularly, Papa broke into spontaneous singing & the whole crowd joined. As Bishop Oyedepo switched into the prophetic, the atmosphere changed &   God came down powerfully among His people the world over, and   prophetic declarations and blessings came from the man of God like an hurricane. Many could’nt restrain their excitement, because it was evident that God had indeed dwelled with His people.

SHILOH 2014 Day 2

SHILOH 2014 DAY 4 (Live Event)


                                 Facebook

From all indications Shiloh 2014 Day 4 morning session carried more glory and power than seen before.  The Day began with an unusually intensive and powerful Shiloh Prayer Hour. The highlight of the morning session was the message by Bishop Oyedepo on Prayer. He said prayer was needed by the saints to maintain a Heaven on Earth lifestyle. Then came the moment of national significance, when Papa spoke on the thorny issue of Boko Haram and terrorism in Nigeria. The atmosphere became immediately heated with the Spirit of Faith as Papa led the millions in a prophetic warfare prayer against Boko Haram and their cohorts. He declared 12 Dec. 2014  the day that Boko Haram must end. Such prophetic audacity, energy, force and power characterized the morning session that was well attended by many from the top hierarchy of society, down. Somebody may ask “are we seeing the end of Boko Haram in Nigeria”, my answer is an emphatic YES, because God honors the words of His servant.


The Evening Session was Shiloh Celebration Service, where dedication of miracle babies, blessing of miracle marriages and parade of represented countries, were among the attractions of the evening. Papa was called upon to pray for the nation of Kenya that was currently celebrating their independence. Then Papa spoke the importance of illumination in dominating darkness and living the heaven on earth lifestyle. He also declared that “Heaven was the epitome of financial fortune”, thus taught on the act of covenant giving as the key to unlocking financial fortune.  The awesome night was marked with numerous manifestations of the Supernatural power of God as seen in the instant miracles occurring all over the world as a direct result of prayers offered by Bishop Oyedepo. Once again it was evident that God had indeed dwelled with men.

Biography of Capital Kings



There’s no denying much of today’s music has the power to move the masses physically. Inventive beats and hooky choruses are the currency of the day. Now enter Capital Kings, a talented duo that blends pop, electronic dance music, and rap into an intoxicating musical mix that makes audiences want to move, and yet there’s a thought-provoking, life-affirming undercurrent. Capital Kings combine style with substance and introduce flash with a foundation.

Years Active: 2010 – present
Genres: Christian Hip – Hop, Christian – Pop, Electropop, Dance-Pop, Dubstep, House Music, Hip House and CEDM. 
Label: Gotee

Engaging audiences seems to come naturally to Jon White and Cole Walowac, who formed Capital Kings while still living in their native Washington D.C. Jon and Cole have parlayed a long-term friendship and shared passion for music into one of the hottest careers in the industry. Despite their young age, the duo’s history is a lengthy one. “We were in the nursery in the same church,” Jon says.

“We moved away to Massachusetts for a few years, Cole and I met back up in the same middle school and we started playing in the youth group band. Cole would play drums and I would sing and that’s how we started making music.”

Influenced by a variety of artists from Maroon 5 to TobyMac, Jon and Cole began creating their own sound. Both are multi-instrumentalists, and between the two of them, they play piano, guitar, trumpet, keyboards and drums. "We were really interested in electronic music and were always fascinated with what DJs were doing because that was starting to get big when we were in high school,” says Cole. “We got really into programming, just making beats. We love hip-hop music as well, so I always made beats and we just decided that one day we’d start making music that was different than a normal rock band. We just started making electronic music and beats and it just came together. It was a natural thing.”

The duo began sharing their music and earning the respect of some of their heroes. “We were even dropping music to Toby, saying, ‘Hey, check out our music,’” says Jon, recalling how they caught the attention of one of Gotee’s founding fathers, Toby McKeehan. “We played a bunch of shows in high school and it gave us a lot of experience. That’s when we first really started getting out in front of the public. It definitely shaped us into who we are now.”

The two relocated to Franklin, Tennessee, and soon found themselves working with TobyMac. “Toby said, ‘Hey, I’ve been telling people about you guys and how you guys can do remixes,’” says Jon. “We did one for him and then all of a sudden we just kept getting calls. It came out of nowhere. It was a blessing for sure.”

Since signing with Gotee Records, the duo has gained a reputation as the industry’s freshest REmix masters, working with some of the top artists in the industry, including TobyMac (EYE ON IT, Dubbed & Freq'd), Group 1 Crew (Fearless), Mandisa (Remixed: Get Movin') and Britt Nicole (Gold).

As much as they’ve enjoyed working with other artists, recording their own music afforded them a whole new level of creative expression. “We have a studio in Franklin that we use and we basically go in almost everyday and write song after song after song,” says Jon. “Over the past year we’ve developed a lot.”

“It’s not everyday I get to introduce Christian music fans to a group that exceeds all expectations, but that’s exactly what Capital Kings is doing,” says Toby McKeehan, Gotee Records co-founder and CEO. “Already proven studio remixers and producers, this songwriting duo makes up a new artist that will take our industry to a new chapter and inspire listeners everywhere. I can’t wait for people to hear it!”

Aside from creating their own unique wall of sound, Capital Kings have also earned a coveted slot on the 2012 Winter Jam Tour. They will join Tobymac, RED, Chris August, Group 1 Crew and label-mate Jamie Grace.

In a perfect storm of entertainment and inspiration, Capital Kings create music that is definitely fun, but with an underlying current of hope that is absolutely infectious. “We’re not preachers. We just love singing about real life,” says Jon.

“God is obviously No. 1 in our lives and we base most of our experiences on finding His hope and His love.”

“We’ve always really like believed in what we are saying. We know the importance of everything that we do and we’re cool with that,” adds Cole. “That’s why we were put on the planet. If we can inspire somebody to live life to the fullest and we can just be a positive influence on other people, I think we’re doing our job.” Recently Cole got married

Ayiesha Woods was born on July 2, 1979 in Long Island, New York. She has lived in a variety of locations, including Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, and Texas; she spent a portion of her childhood growing up in Bermuda, as well.  

Woods was surrounded by music while growing up, and was the granddaughter of a professional musician. Throughout high school she sang in chorus and played in the school's band, sang harmony in her church choir, and learned to play instruments such as the guitar, keyboard and. percussion

In 2003, Ayiesha Woods wrote and recorded an independent album, What You Do to Me, which was released in 2004. In 2004, she was the first female musician to receive the Producer of the Year  award at the Caribbean Gospel Music Marlin Awards.  She also received Marlin's New Artist of the Year  and Contemporary Vocal Performance of the Year (Female) awards that year.  Crazy, a song from the album, was being played on local Christian radio where she lived in Jamaica. Gotee Records manager TobyMac was visiting the area for an interview, and heard her song on the local station Love 101. After Caribbean Hour host Arnold Kelly played a few of Woods' songs for him, TobyMac obtained her contact info and called her as soon as he returned to the United States. Initially in disbelief upon receiving the call, Ayiesha Woods said, "I wasn’t home when he first called ... I couldn't believe it."  A few weeks later he invited Woods and her family to a concert he was slated to perform at in Texas, where they met in person. She was soon signed onto his record label, and went in studio to record material for a new album.

Introducing Ayiesha Woods (2006–2007). After recording the album, Woods' first single "Happy" was released in 2006, and soon became a hit on Christian radio. The song was used in an ad campaign for the DVD release of the 2006 film A Good Year. The song was also used in the 2009 movie "My Life in Ruins" starring Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding).  Her debut Gotee Records album, Introducing Ayiesha Woods, was produced by Chris Stevens, Otto Price, Ric Robbins and David Mullen. It was released on June 6, 2006 and reached number 39 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart. The album was Grammy Award-nominated for the category of Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album in 2007. Two additional songs from the album were released as singles: Big Enough and Beauty. At the 38th GMA Dove Awards of 2007, Woods received a nomination for the New Artist of the Year award.

Love Like This (2008–present). Woods guested on Women of Faith's Revolve Tour, an annual conference for teenage girls, in February 2008. Her second album, Love Like This, was recorded around early 2008, and its approximate release time of  late summer was announced in May 2008. The album's lead single, Love Like This, was released to contemporary Christian radio in June 2008.  Ayiesha Woods performed at several major Christian music festivals over the next few months, including Creation East, Creation West, and Lifefest, as well as the 2008 Christian Music Boat Cruise. Love Like This was subsequently released on September 9, 2008 through the Gotee label. It debuted at #20 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart. The album's latest single is the track Alive.

Woods has also recorded and released a Christmas album entitled Christmas Like This, which was released on November 10, 2009. Woods was one of three judges at the 2013 Christian Women in Media Association National Music Showcase in Nashville, Tennessee.

Ayiesha Woods grew up in a variety of cultures including the Bermuda locale, which has given her music a Caribbean and dancehall sound. Her musical influences include Stevie Wonder, Commissioned, Fred Hammond, Ella Fitzgerald, Lauryn Hill and India.Arie. Her musical genre is generally defined as Christian pop and soul, although it contains much variety on both of her albums, including R&B and urban styles. Woods has said, I don't want to be placed in one specific category. I think I represent a lot of different styles of music. Her debut album Introducing Ayiesha Woods has been labeled as having something for everyone, and critics have compared her singing voice to Tracy Chapman and Tasmin Archer.  Love Like This is also a multi-genre project, "subtly adding jazz infusions" on the song Take Me There, although Christian Music Today's review said that it was "not as soulful" as her previous album. Her music includes rock influences (Big Enough) as well as the contemporary worship style in her songs Love Like This, Refine Me, and her originally-independent track What You Do to Me.
