 What happens when a church gets its youth involved in a creative, artistic way? The kids use their God-given talents and giftings to bless others. In most cases, the blessings go to members of their particular faith community, or their neighborhood. Then, once in a great while, the fruit of young people's labor gets shared with the world at large-- such is the case with G-Fy-G, a high energy, urban contemporary Gospel singing group comprised of youth and young adults ages 16-25, mostly African-American and Caribbean-born, from the Greater New York City region. Vocal excellence, movement, precision, synchronization, versatility, and stage presence are the group’s strength-- other choirs will most likely be covering their tunes and trying to keep up with the vocal gymnastics of songs like "Let Everything That Has Breath" on G-Fy-G's Harambee Records' debut, "I Came To Glorify."

While the latter may be true theoretically, the former definitely needs consideration, because you are indeed a performer and it's not a sin to be entertaining while you're up on that stage or altar. Too often, performances are, frankly, sub-par or boring these days. If you want to be the best, you need to read the tips that follow. |
