Real Gospel with the Xman Podcast
Religion & Spirituality
Kierra Sheard returns as my guest on Real Gospel! She’s been on my show more than any other gospel artist and she always leaves us with golden nuggets of wisdom and insight! Her latest song is called “Hang On” and you’ll enjoy the story about this new song and this new cd project, not only is she my in-studio guest, I’ll be joined by another special guest as well, who…you’ll have to listen and find out.
Let’s take a quick look at her bio:
Kierra Sheard made her recording debut when she was nine and sang a duet with her mother on "The Safest Place," from Karen's chart-topping album, Finally Karen. When she was ten, she began traveling with her mother on tour to join her for the song. Kierra went on to win a Steller Award for Children's Performance for the song. At first, Kierra recalls not being that interested in singing and performing, but she soon began to witness the fun and joy her family had in singing and praising God, and she longed to be a part of it. By the time she was 13, Kierra had the desire in her heart to minister to people her own age, and she felt God leading her to do that.
Kierra wants people to know that, while she does follow in a long line of great musical talents, she does have her own style and is very serious about her ministry. She is determined to show young people that they don't have to live in sin to have fun and enjoy life.
So just how mesmerizing is Kierra Sheard’s voice? Captivating enough to shut down a noisy audience until you can hear a pin drop.
Case in point: Sheard’s recent Grammy Week performance at BET’s annual Music Matters showcase. Those lucky enough to be in the audience were treated to a brief but powerful set that included a song about insecurities, both physical and emotional in her latest single, “Flaws,” as well as a goose bump-raising cover of the Mary J. Blige classic “No More Drama.” That colorful versatility provides the creative blueprint for Sheard’s contemporary urban inspirational sound.
“It’s about singing an inspiring song that everyone can listen to,” explains Sheard,
“especially those people who may never step foot in a church. It’s about R&B/hip-hop and
gospel beats mixed with Coldplay and other pop/rock sounds—but always with a positive
message.”
Like I always say, You don’t want to miss this interview!!
