Calvin J Golden & Shekinah

Born and raised in Detroit MI, Calvin Golden knew from an early age that music would be a major part of his mission. At the age of 13 years old, Calvin had an ear for music and was called upon to help teach the church choir. Although he was only thirteen and the church drummer, his father saw the special talent he possessed and appointed him, minister music. This opportunity only heightened his passion and love for all façades of music.

As Calvin grew older it was evident that he had a special love and compassion for people. When Calvin became 17 he founded the Shekinah Glory Fellowship Chorale, a group of over 40 individuals. Calvin & Shekinah Glory traveled across the US as well as throughout the cities of Michigan. In 1993 Calvin Golden & the Shekinah Glory Fellowship Chorale competed in the Thorn Apple Valley “Something to Sing About” and placed 1st runner-up. During this time he developed himself as a music and songwriter and in 1997 Calvin wrote “My Soul Is A Witness”, which was released on the Peter’s Rock Mass Choir album entitled “Over and Over”.

In 1998 Calvin lost his mother and only a few years later his sister, and this year he lost his dad. This was and is a very hard time for him. However, the lost fueled his love and passion for God, he gained the strength he needed to push closer to making his mother, father and sister proud by focusing and pursuing God’s will for his life. Now stronger and more dedicated then ever, fully assured that this is his time and season, Calvin reveals his trials, triumphs, passion and love for God through his lyrics and music. As time passed Calvin embarked on a solo career with a much smaller background.

It is now time for the anointed psalmist to stand on a mainstream level and introduce the world to praise and worship in excellence, and this is his purpose. To deliver the word of God through song full of the power and anointing and the purpose of God in the spirit of excellence. To break barriers and eliminate color lines and help to unite people regardless to race, background or class. The unique combination of anointing, coupled with talent and a style that is his own has defined Calvin Golden & Shekinah as one of the premiere performers of this century.
