Detroit’s Own Pastor Jason Palmer Returns To Musical Roots

Pastor Jason Palmer returns to his gospel music roots with a new name, “JP & Nem,” and a new single, “Just Like Fiyah.” I had the chance to talk to JP about his 13-year hiatus, his new song… and the new name. I just had to know who “Nem” was.

It’s been some time since I’ve talked to Pastor Jason Palmer in person. Actually, the last time we talked about music… he wasn’t “Pastor” but rather JP with JP & Seasons. JP took a bit of a detour with music, as his church was planted and nurtured. When JP was the frontman of JP & Seasons, the music was decidedly different than his new release, “Just Like Fire.” With JP and Seasons, the music varied from Contemporary Christian to Christian Rock still, the sound was impactful and award winning. JP and Seasons picked up two “Rhythm of Gospel Awards” in 2011 for CD of the Year and Urban Contemporary R&P CD of the Year. “Just Like Fire” is as heartfelt as his previous music and is a powerful, soulful, Jeremiah 20:9 new start for this gifted man of God. In addition to JP’s music, he is an author (“God Help Me to Forgive”) and pastor of the Goodness & Mercy Church [https://www.thegmchurch.org/] with two locations in Detroit.

Erica Campbell: Trust & Obey Is Blind Faith Even If I Don’t Understand

Erica Campbell’s new single, “Trust and Obey”  is a testimony of as Erica says, “blind faith even if I don’t understand.” Each time I talk to the multi-award-winning singer and radio host, I learn a little bit more about not only her music but her faith walk. And she is always inspiring. I asked Erica what the word “obey” look like to her and why people find it difficult to trust and obey. Erica said, “God is consistent, God is faithful, He does not fail even when it’s uncomfortable. You believe it’s gonna work out for your good, so you obey Him. You believe that even if He calls you to do something that you’ve never done before, you can trust Him.” We also talked about the video of “Trust and Obey” and how she decided to shoot it in London, and the upcoming tour she will be on with David and Tamela Mann along with her daughter Krista. Campbell is the host of the nationally syndicated radio show “Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell” that can be heard weekdays 6am-10am EST on the Detroit Praise Network. Additionally, Erica has released three solo albums as well as seven albums with her sister as part of the dynamic duo “Mary Mary.” Erica is also an author and host of the very successful, “Laugh Cry, Heal Conference. Campbell is married to Grammy Award-winning producer and pastor of California Worship Center, Warryn Campbell II. They have three children — Krista, Warryn III and Zaya.

Artist Spotlight: Micah Lee ‘Clap My Way’

I first met Micah Lee at a Stellar Award Artist Showcase in Las Vegas. Despite being an amazing singer, I also noticed his positive attitude and confident demeaner. What I didn’t know then, Micah was in tremendous pain due to a horrible car accident in 2005. Later, I would find out that he was told he would never walk again. Which you can clearly see… is not true.

We talked about the background of the song, and the promise he made to his father before his death when the song was released. Micah’s sound is described a blend of jazz, neo-soul, R&B, and gospel with chart worthy songs like, “Heaven,” “Forever,” and “Tis The Season.” Lee is also a model, fashion blogger and named a “modern-day renaissance man” by BET. Check him out on social media @micahsmusic. “Clap My Way” can be found on all digital music platforms. CHECK OUT: CLAP MY WAY HEAR: ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: MICAH LEE ‘CLAP MY WAY’
