Personal Praise Radio Interview

One of my favorite youth groups are back, Personal Praise and I have a feeling one of them is going to end up preaching one day! I’ll welcome back Yana & Tez to the show to talk about their newest song, “I Don’t Need A Thing” These young folk have a story to tell, they’ll talk about what it’s like being in high school and loving the Lord to sharing the technique they used to record their newest song. 

Let’s take a peek at their bio:

The brother-sister duo, Tez and Yana are no strangers to the singing of God's praises. They often assisted their father as members of the church praise team and would travel as a family to various church musicals to deliver songs of praise. Hence, in 2007 Personal Praise was born as a family singing group, but to the parents it was obvious that the group was destined to be much more. “I remember being in St. Louis at my Godfather’s anniversary. I had stepped out for a moment when someone came to get me and said, ‘You got to see this!’ To my surprise, it was my 5 year-old Tez, leading praise and worship songs and bringing the congregation to its feet. It was at that moment, I knew God had greater plans.”

As the children began to develop their own unique style of singing, they wanted to deliver a more modern approach to Christian music, one that would appeal to a more youthful audience. Yana possessed a strong traditional gospel sound likened to a young Tramaine Hawkins but Tez was quite the opposite and preferred the smooth R&B soul of artists like John Legend. Being a singer-songwriter himself, Mr. Person reached into his repertoire of original songs and began to work closely with the kids to create an authentic sound that would be pleasing to both children and parents alike. In 2010, Personal Praise was re-developed into a contemporary youth gospel ensemble that would include cousins Destiny, Chris, and Josh along with new choreography that would definitely add a youthful touch to gospel music.
