It helps to have family in the business.
I don’t mean in a nepotistic way, but when your sister is recording artist Elaine Norwood, you come from a gene pool that is recording-ready. This is contemporary gospel artist Sharon MaRee’s story.
The assistant choir director for the Music Worship Ministry of the Apostolic Faith Home Assembly Church in Los Angeles, MaRee shows that she can do more than lift her hands and encourage the choir to sing out.
On “My Worship,” from her sophomore CD Triumph, MaRee solos with a deep, soulful expressiveness (just like sister Elaine) and also demonstrates brilliant performance technique in her pacing. No shouting, just straight-away gospel singing, with a fine crescendo at the conclusion.
