•Tony B. Dickerson (now embracing the resonant name"Barnshaw") is not just an artist; he is a catalytic force in inspirational music. A two-time Grammy-considered songwriter and performer, his journey is a masterclass in musical synthesis. He channels the raw soul of gospelpioneers, the fearless innovation of funk, and the lyrical depth of classic songwriting into a sound that is both timeless and urgently contemporary. •Dickerson’s credentials are a testament to a life dedicated to craft. From his foundational role with the legendary O’LandaDraper & The Associates to serving as a U.S. Navy musician and worship leader, his path has been one of disciplined artistry. His pen authored the Tennessee Mass Choir’s celebrated anthem, “The Greatest of All Time,” and his own 2024 release, “The Song Within,” continues to garner acclaim, featured on platforms like GospelTop40.com. As a voting member of the Recording Academy, he helps shape the industry’s future while honoring its roots. •On stage, Dickerson is a “being himself” kind of entertainer; authentic, magnetic, and deeply connected. Off stage, he is an architect of community. He is the founder and dynamic bandleader of Tony B. Dickerson & The Essential Band, the guiding teacher at Barnshaw's School of Piano/ Voice,and the visionary director of The Songwriters Group, International. His mission extends beyond performance to education, mentorship, and providing "excellent musical service that produces positive results."
