Emory Anderson

CEO. Entrepreneur. Artist. Producer. These are just a few of his titles. Inspiring. Empowering. Uplifting. Encouraging. These are just a few of his ministries. Anderson’s journey began with the founding of Blessed Witha Gift Ministries (a Christian based Publishing and Production Company) in 2003 (now CHANGE Music Group), while he was still a student at Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia. Since then, Anderson has been making enormous strides in his ministry endeavors as a Spoken Work/Hip Hop artist , while still being independent, and has built a sizable and respectable resume on a national level within the Christian Music Industry and on the Urban Gospel Music scene.

Anderson is a preacher’s kid. His father was an ordained pastor of the United Methodist Church. Anderson’s father was called home by God when Anderson was three years of age. His mother was one month pregnant with his younger brother Aaron. Anderson grew up in a single parent home, but was determined not to be a number in the negative statistics concerning children brought up in similar environments. Anderson’s mother sacrificed much, to make sure that her two sons never went without. She made sure to instill Christian principles in her boys early, and at a young age. Anderson excelled in academics and sports in high school and went on to be very successful in college as well.

Upon graduation of college, Anderson returned home to North Carolina, where he then became a public school teacher. Even though being a school teacher was his passion, imparting into the lives of today’s youth and young adults was. Anderson worked in the public school system for 5 years from 2007 to 2012. He has now been given the opportunity and privilege to do full time ministry through lyrics, music and at his local church in Fayetteville, NC, Manna Church.

Anderson has performed with, written for, produced for, ministered with, and has opened for various well known artist such as Christian Band “Building 429,” EMI recording artist “Kierra KiKi Sheard,” Cajo Records recording artist Canton Jones, BET’s Sunday Best and Zomba Gospel Recording artist Crystal Aikin, the “First Lady of Gospel Soul,” Lisa McClendon, Myron Butler, KJ Scriven, Mali Music, Da T.R.U.T.H., Ambassador, Sean Simmons, D-MAUB, Sean Slaughter, Deitrick Hadden, Tye Tribett and many others. Anderson's style is so diverse, he can demand the attention of any audience. From the smooth spoken word style of a poetry cafe scene, to a standing room only event with music beating through the speakers... an ideal artist for any event.
