Artist Information Biography Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.  Jeremiah 1:5 Introducing, Ms. Tawana Ross, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.  She is anointed with a voice determined to capture the attention of the nations.  She is humble and has Godly character and integrity along with the ability to capture the hearts of individuals and house God’s Glory.  She is not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  According to Hebrews 11:3 “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God.” Tawana Ross moves and breathes because of Christ.  If it had not been for His sustaining power she would not be here today.  The Bible says; I am set apart; the head and not the tail.  She refuses to compromise and settle for less than all God has for her life in purpose and destiny.  The Word is the blueprint for her life.  It has transformed her thoughts to having the mind of Christ and to seek after His will.  Through Him that keeps her, she mounts up her wings like an eagle to face the world.  With breath in her nostrils and air in her lungs she ministers through scripture and holy messages put to music in the form of Gospel Rap.  Motto: “Before I am a rapper, I am a minister of the gospel; the unadulterated word of God that changes, heals and sets captives free.  My hearts’ desire is to not lose one soul to the tactics of the enemy.  I vow to help spread the Gospel throughout the earth, teaching the Good News so that Minds are Transformed, Thoughts are Reconstructed, Hearts are Changed to want to be like Christ and Holiness becomes the Choice of lifestyle.  As a student of New Life Theological Seminary, she knows her charge; to stay committed to building The Kingdom of God, setting the captives free and proclaiming liberty in the Name of Jesus. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.  Isaiah 26:2 “A Charge to Keep… I have a God to Glorify” Instrumentation The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost and Tawana Discography 2009- Global Love 2007- But God Album 2007- Tru Soldiers Compilation VOL 1 2007-Holy Hip Hop Album Volume 5 2007-Lighten the load Cd 2007-Active Duty Mix tape 2007- Clash of the kaka-lack-ians 2007-Music meets the truth 2006-Bliss Entertainment –Virtuous Women 2006- No Compromise Compilation –Rock Solid Records 2005-Introduction Song for the Tiffany Awards-Unity Productions -"We Hear"-Tawana Ross 2005-Faith, Hope, Love and Hip-hop LP 2005-Fire and Thunder 2004-Messiah Mafia 2001-Depth of Her soul 1998-Come "N" Groove Wit Me Radio Play: NYC, NJ - WFDU-FM 89.1, The Bridge FM 103.1, 1310 am, 94.3, 99.7, 89.7 (Floyd Cray), Interviews with 1540 Cynthia Neely, Maceo at word net , Friday Night Fire 100.9, Citi 97.3 fm Accra Ghana, Still Blazin Radio (Red Fish) Ministry Opportunities 2006- Ministered at 91 churches, outreach, and more (Urban Evangelism) 2006- Ministered at the Holy Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta Georgia 2007-Ministered at the Carolina Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards 2007- Ministered at 98 Churches, outreaches, and more (Urban Evangelism) 2007- Featured on several Television Shows in North Carolina (INSP, Access 21, Channel 14) 2008- Travel to Accra, Ghana for the first time (stayed 10 Days) 2008- Featured on CHA Today (Channel 16 with Jennifer Gallman) Awards/Achievements 2007-Received Best Female Rap artist at the Carolina Achievement Awards 2007-Received Gospel Hip Hop Single of the Year “Bless the Lord” Tiffany Awards 2007- 3rd place in the INSP Christian Talent Search Hosted by Jason Crabb 2008 - Received Artist of the year NC at Charlotte Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards 2008- Written for several Magazines (Kontagious Magazine) 2008- Nominated for the Best Upcoming Gospel Rap artist (CIGMAS) Degrees 2008- Received an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Divinity in Africa (Accra Ghana) 2007- Currently pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Urban Christian Ministries/Christian Education 2003- Received an Associates Degree in Public Administration www.bedrockgospel.com Bedrockgospel/Simbos Publishing P.O.Box 18541 Charlotte, N.C. 28218 tawana@bedrockgospel.com blog.bedrockgospel.com www.soundclick.com/tawana www.freewebs.com/bedrockgospel www.myspace.com/thedunamis Links http://www.bedrockgospel.com
