Karon...

At a young age I attended Philadelphia Independent C.O.G.I.C. where E.W. Hill is the pastor. At the age of eight, I sat in Sunday school with a young lady named Jennifer. I never paid much attention to her and don’t remember any contact that we had. I do remember falling in love with music around that time spending endless hours in my parent’s car hitting my head up against the headrest in rhythm from countless hits of the past.

Many years past, I went off to college, and Jennifer went into the Armed Forces. While majoring in Radio and Television Broadcasting, I developed a keen ear for music and taught myself to play the keyboard and built my own project studio. I was the co-founder of a hip-hop gospel group 1NE ACCORD (one accord), but the group dissolved after only one album. Even after the failed attempt, I couldn’t pry myself from the music that was in my heart. I learned that music was truly a part of me. Even though music is my ministry I had prayed to find the perfect mate to share this gift with.
After two meaningful long-term relationships ended in broken engagements, I had almost given up hope in finding the true love of my life.

Ten years after departing from Atlanta and traveling all over the world, Jennifer had been released from the military and appeared back at the church that we met in 20 years prior.

To make a long story short, I performed a song I composed on my birthday at church entitled ”Close”, she was there that day and it was obvious that the little girl that I barely remembered was now the woman that I couldn’t forget. That was a year ago and we were married on June 18, 2005 at our church.
My debut album"The Close Album", Seeking Closeness was released following the nuptials. I would really appreciate if you would play the title track "Close" from the album to let my wife know that we have come to close to our destiny to turn back now. All I want for the rest of our lives is to become closer and with God on our side, blessings are sure to follow. Malachi 3:10..."if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

The “Close” Album was completed while Karon assists Kent Wolfes, a 27 year-old, who was injured in a car accident, with his education. One of his markets is on a college campus because college is the last level before reality. He encourages the students to stay focused because “Only God can keep you “Close” to the destiny that is prepared for you.”
