MORE ABOUT TONY LIVINGSTONE

Anthony Livingstone has been an active Music Director for over 25 years. Together with his wife Dolapo, they were a popular Gospel Music Duo in the ‘90s known as Dee & Dee. She went on to release her album ‘Across the land’ which sold out in the first week. 

Anthony Livingstone was the keyboardist of the then gospel jazz band – Emerald that staged popular concerts in churches across the nation also in the ‘90s.

He is a prolific songwriter who single-handedly wrote most of the songs in an album – Sing for Joy for the then choir of the church-Christ Family Assembly (aka WOCOM) where he served as Music Director.

His contemporary operas drew crowds throughout the length and breadth of the Western States of Nigeria in the 90s in churches such as Scripture Pasture Christian Centre and Christ Family Assembly in Ibadan.

He is the author of THE CHOIR BIBLE – an instructional manual on how to sing Tonic Sol-fa that includes a compilation of popular contemporary gospel choir songs by notable artistes such as Kurt Carr Singers, Donald Lawrence and the Tri-city Singers, Kirk Franklin, TyeTribette and many more all scored out in Tonic Sol-fa.

A writer, he also authored and published the Christian fantasy novel -THE VIGIL!

From 2000 – 2004, he served as Associate Music Director with the National Mass Choir of Liberia.

From 2005 – 2008, he was music director of House on the Rock Lagos and even as far back as the late 80’s  had been music director of various churches conducting several seminars and workshops for various choirs in Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu, Ife, etc.

He has also conducted several choir seminars for churches such as Global Harvest Church, Daystar Christian Centre, Covenant Christian Centre, House of Mercy, Living Waters Church and many more; and his Outfit (Tony Livingstone Konsults) now runs an annual training program called CHOIR ACADEMY where choristers from different churches come together under the same roof to receive training in various aspects of vocal technique, keyboarding&music literacy from his invited guest facilitators notable of whom have been K-Stickss – Music Director Daystar Christian Centre, WOLE ADESANYA – Renowned Keyboardist/ CEO of Greenland Music Productions; ONOS – Multiple Award winning gospel artiste, ‘Bishop’ Moses Afolayan – Music Director of Latter Rain Assemblies and many more over the years!

For now, there is no school of contemporary gospel music in Nigeria and Tony Livingstone’s dream is to set up anARTISTE ACADEMY – a University of Gospel Music where musicians and singers can come and pursue their passion and be empowered at the end of the course to go out and raise the standard of excellence in our music industry.

Tony Livingstone currently runs a group page on Facebook by the name CHOIR ACADEMY to which over 600 choristers are subscribed.

He has fashioned out over the years a unique Course Content specifically designed to train the ears of singers/choristers to be able to recognize sounds by name the same way musicians do. The Course is named – TONE RECOGNITION SKILLS.

He believes that the training of the voice is not sufficient for any singer to be able to sing advanced harmony as it is done in the Western world, hence there must be a corresponding training of the ear.

Some of his tutorials can be found on his YouTube Channel – CONSECRATED TV.

MUSIC: MERCY CHINWO - TESTIMONY @Mmercychinwo

Mercy Chinwo makes a gracious entry on the music scene this year with her very first official single "Testimony" Produced by Rotimi Keys. 

While many might think this is long over due, she believes this is just the very right time. Having been through her fair share of life's challenges, from the days of little beginning to her grasp with fame, she pens down this song of encouragement to as many embattled people out there hoping they can find expression and solace in the words of her song.

"Very few people know where I am coming from and it makes perfect sense that a lot of people who never got to see my pain but see all of my Glory have the impression that I always had a silver spoon. My life in one word is a TESTIMONY" - Mercy Chinwo

However, by dancing and praising God Almighty, these problems are surmounted.

AWARD-WINNING SINGER, FASHION DESIGNER AND TELEVISION STAR, KIERRA SHEARD RELEASES NEW EP - "LED"

Award-winning singer, fashion designer and television star, Kierra Sheard has released LED, an EP that had her teaming up with her brother, producer J. Drew Sheard II and contributing producer Jor’Dan Armstrong.

 In a similar vein as recent full-length public releases from artists Beyoncé and J. Cole, Kierra decided to forego the tradition of promoting singles through radio in advance of today’s release. Available digitally on iTunes, the 8-track EP is made up of an array of sounds and styles that will give you a back-in-the-day vibe. 

The title track, “LED,” has a strong sound and message that is sure to keep your head bobbing while listening. Other songs on the project include “Make Me Better,” “Oh Jesus” and “So Easy,” and all will have listeners transported to wherever the music leads them.

On what helped inspire Kierra to give LED the sound that she and J. Drew did, she says, "A youngster who knows real music. You'll hear a 90's feel in the presentation of this music. Prince-inspired, Marvin Gaye-inspired. My goal is to give listeners a sound that they can take everywhere. I'm hoping to put God in people's atmosphere and they not even know it until later. It's something for in the meantime, but it’s fun and creative.”

Be sure to catch Kierra on her four-city pop-up shop tour for her new high-end, full-figured clothing line, Eleven60. The tour will include stops in Atlanta (November 21st), Washington DC (November 27th), New York (November 28th) and Chicago (December 4th).
