Antonia Lawrence

For Antonia, music is about service -- to God and to those whose lives might be changed by the power of a song. Every note is given freely, with nothing asked in return other than a willingness to open one's heart and listen. It is the most generous of gifts, and the easiest to receive … because singing came to Antonia only after her own heart had opened to God. Its value lies not in the promise of fame, but in its power to touch others as it has touched her.

Antonia has a unique multicultural background. She was born in Manchester, England, her parents are from Jamaica and she was raised in Canada.
Her music reflects her multicultural background through the diversity of styles, mixed with lyrics that capture God word for today’s generation. On her new project called “Global Hallelujah” experience the excitement of live praise and worship with Antonia Lawrence. This 2 disc DVD/CD set, includes live concert footage, Antonia’s testimony, and interviews. The project celebrates the presence of God and inspires and ignites a passion for the calling of every believer-- Worship & Missions. The goal is to communicate the message of Christ through a contemporary, cross-cultural style of music. From, Latin to jazz; rock to reggae; this project displays the unity that is in Christ as we join together with believers of many cultures to worship the Lord.

Antonia’s greatest passion is to worship God and to lead others into His presence, so they can freely express their hearts to God, and be refreshed and renewed in His presence. Her new project “Global Hallelujah”, released November 2005, will not only minister to your spirit but will refresh your soul with God’s power and love. Where there is pain you will feel God’s healing touch, where there is doubt there will be renewed confidence through God’s grace. Where there is fear you will know peace, where there is sorrow, you will rejoice.
