Martha Munizzi

An energetic and praise-filled woman of God, Munizzi has captured the hearts of gospel music lovers with songs like “Say The Name”, “Glorious”, “Because Of Who You Are” and “Jesus Is The Best Thing (That’s Ever Happened To Me)”. Martha Munizzi has become a household name in the Christian music industry. Singlehandedly, the GRAMMY Award Nominee and Dove and Stellar Award Winner has literally changed the face of the inspirational genre. With her dynamic and unapologetic style of praise and worship, she touches the very heart of the believer. Not only has she changed lives through her ministry, but she has savored the success of it as well becoming the best-selling independent artist in the history of gospel music, selling over 500,000 units. Not one to rest on her laurels, fans of her music can expect even more with her 6th release which dropped April 26, 2011, Make It Loud.

Gospel music is in Martha Munizzi’s blood. Beginning at the age of 8, her parents, who were traveling evangelists, took her and her sisters on the road. As she and her sisters got older, the family settled in Orlando, Florida and eventually as teens, Martha and her two sisters got a taste of singing on their own traveling across the state of Florida, performing at churches, conferences and Christian events. It was during this time when she met her husband, Dan Munizzi, who also played bass and keyboards for their music group.

The two married in 1987 and began their music ministry together. Planting their roots at a local church in Orlando, they not only began leading praise and worship and growing the music department there, but the experience gave Martha an opportunity to try out her own songs with the praise team and the congregation. Receiving a warm reception, she and Dan decided to record Martha’s first CD entitled, Say The Name, which dropped in 2002. The project introduced the cross-cultural praise and worship leader to a plethora of new fans and earned her the first of many Dove Award Nominations for Contemporary Gospel Song of the Year as well as her first GRAMMY Award Nomination for Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album.

Earnest Pugh

A superior vocalist and song stylist extraordinaire, Earnest Pugh has been included in a category with gospel singers such as Byron Cage, Smokie Norful and Marvin Sapp. At the same time, he’s forging his own path with an anointing and style all his own.
As the 2006 En Sound Male Vocalist of the Year and 2006 Independent Music Award Winner for Gospel Album of the Year, he followed the success of A Worshipper’s Perspective with Earnest Pugh Live: Rain On Us, which debuted #2 on Billboard Gospel Charts and escalated to #1 on Billboard Radio Charts. This chart topping CD, recorded live at Washington, D.C.’s Temple of Praise, solidified Earnest’s place as one of gospel music’s premiere worshipers.
Known for his riveting five-octave range and his unmatched ability in weaving his crystal clear vocals around gospel music power ballads, Earnest Pugh has made his mark in the gospel music world as a psalmist, conference worship leader, and songwriter.
Music has always been a part of this Memphis native’s life. By his teens, he was in great demand and sought after by the groundbreaking gospel pioneer, O’landa Draper. At Draper’s request, Pugh joined O’landa Draper and Associates. His tenure with the group was short-lived, instead deciding to join the United States Army where he continued to use his musical gifts to edify the body, soul and spirit.
Following his departure from military service, Pugh continued to pursue his love for music. His pursuit opened doors for major appearances on networks such as the Word Network, Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) and Black Entertainment Television (BET), including one of BET’s top-rated shows, Bobby Jones Gospel.
