Divas Redemption featuring Paul Smith

Divas Redemption Bio

Divas Redemption, featuring Paul Smith, is a North Jersey gospel group that blends traditional gospel, today’s R&B and jazz. And for good measure, you can sometimes hear a taste of country.

In March 2011, the group won the "Best Gospel" song category for "Love Him 4 That" in the 10th annual Independent Music Awards program.

In 2010, the group won the McDonald's Gospelfest award for "Best Vocal Group."

The “Divas” part of their name fits the ladies’ style of dress and onstage demeanor – fiery, soulful and delightful, while “Redemption” reflects the core message in their music.

The “Divas” – Faye Chapman, Keshia Clark and Jeanie Brower -- interchangeably share lead and background roles. Featured lead vocalist, Paul Smith, is a veteran gospel singer and former Brower Brothers group member.

No strangers to gospel fans along the east coast, collectively, they have performed in Europe and Japan and on shows with the likes of Paul Anka, Georgia Mass Choir, Rev. Milton Bingham, Brower Brothers, Rev. John Kee, Lee Williams and a host of others.

All four members are strong songwriters, and Paul is a talented guitarist. In 2009, the group completed a five-song EP, which was released on indie-label Jay St Records.

In March 2010 and, again in February 2011, DR took honors and thrilled the crowd at the Annual Gospel Extravaganza in Olive Branch, MS. With a full CD released November 2010, the group will continue efforts to be heard and seen, and be recognized as a major new voice in today’s gospel music.
