Vincent Walker & Testimonies of Joy

New Jersey native Vincent Walker, Jr. carries on a strong legacy of Gospel music as the Founder & Director of the urban-contemporary singing group, Testimonies of Joy. As a child, music was almost equivalent to breathing to the young Vincent as he watched his father, the late Vincent Walker, Sr. sing and play his bass guitar with soul and power for likes of Shirley Caesar, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, The Royal Travelers, The Morgan Singers, and a host of other Gospel music groups. A singer, songwriter, producers and worship leader in his own right, Vincent followed his heart and pursued the Lord to live out his musical dreams. Vincent's ministry was birthed in 1991 where he was a member of New Jersey's St. Paul Fire Baptized Holiness Church under the leadership of the late Nathaniel Simmons. There he served diligently for 10 years as a members of the St. Paul Inspirational Choir (today known as Natalie Wilson & the SOP Chorale). He recorded with the group ont their sophomore project, Not the Same, where he had the opportunity to display his gift and execptional vocal prowess on the song, "I Am the Righteousness."

In 1998, Vincent founded the music ministry, Testimonies of Joy, a group of talented adults who hit the pavement running and are making a powerful presence on the urban-contemporary-traditional music scene.

Vincent is a member of the Cathedral International where Bishop Donald Hilliard Jr is the Senior Pastor. There he serves as a choir leader and psalmist on a regular basis leading the flock into praise and worship.

It hasn't been very long, but God is showing His faithfulness by anointing and setting His approval on Vincent's call to obedience

What an awesome Testimony of Joy!
