This week I connected with another artist that will be ministering at the 2024 @thespinawards THIS WEEKEND, @antoinehilton . Love his entire spirit. Even though he tried to get me and omitted that he is technically Pastor Antoine Hilton (our joke). However, lock in and enjoy the interview and music 🎼. Go STREAM IT TUH-DAY!

About Antoine Hilton: Soulful, smooth, eclectic, anointed, prolific and artistic are just a few words to describe a singer/songwriter/musician/producer. Antoine was born and raised in New York and has been singing and creating music from a very young age.

Antoine desired to write music that would capture the ears and spirits of young people growing up with negative influences. He believes that music is a vehicle by which one’s perception about life can be altered, conversely, he believes that music is also a giver of life. Music alters moods and atmospheres, and much of the music for this generation has been used to promote agendas that are counterproductive to living a free and abundant life. With that in mind, and with the desire to be a voice that can lead youth to greatness and help them avoid the pitfalls that many fall prey to, he went into the studio to create his first solo album Born Again Into Truth (B.A.I.T) and B.A.I.T 2 which has generated a major buzz and has been galvanizing listeners since its 2011 release. Songs from the album have continued to graced stations from New York to the UK.

The success of B.A.I.T has garnered the attention of Antoine’s peers earning him an Agape Award, McDonald’s Gospel Fest award and a Kingdom Choice Award. Antoine has released videos in which he showcased his directing skills and gained a huge following leading to over 200,000 views and counting.

It’s been a year! Thank you for kicking it with me. I had the pleasure of interviewing my brother from LIGP Living In God's Presence. They are a second family to me and have an amazing spirit. You can grab their self entitled, volume one EP 🎶 that was produced last year where all digital music is sold.

About LIGP: On December 31, 2015, at a New Year’s Eve service, God said “Make It So!”, leading to the birth of Living In God’s Presence (L.I.G.P.). Although they had been singing background for Min. RaShawn Truss under no name, there was a new assignment placed on their lives. They received a prophetic word that was an answer to a prayer. God ordained for them to be a diverse group called to minister through singing and testimonial style worship. They are blessed to be able to lead songs as individuals, but when they come together to harmonize, the presence of the Lord falls heavily in the atmosphere. Their goal is to lead souls to Christ for the Kingdom of God. Their hope is for you to live in God’s presence, to find God’s Purpose, Passion, Power and Peace that surpasses all understanding.

Psalm 100:2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.
