Jonathan Nelson New Project “Right Now Praise” Releases February 5th

“I’m truly excited about the new relationship we have formed,” Nelson adds. “I believe that it’s the right timing and the right season for this. For years to come we will continue to produce great music and great worship together. It’s been a seven-year journey and in the Bible seven means completion. So, that season has ended and as we enter 2008, I’m looking forward to a season of new beginnings and new experiences with this project.”

Nelson grew up in church and earned his first professional singing gig when he assembled some singing friends to back Karen Clark Sheard when she performed at Baltimore’s Greater Bethlehem Church (where his father was the pastor) in 2000. Following the successful concert, Nelson and his friends formed Purpose. They have since backed a who’s who in music, ranging from BeBe & CeCe Winans to Michael McDonald. Their debut CD “Everything You Are: Live in Baltimore” was released in 2003 and featured the regional hit “Healed” which was eventually picked up by Donald Lawrence and made into a national hit. Married with two children, Nelson is Worship Leader and Minister of Music for the Empowerment Temple.
