Destiny Praise / Driven
(Destiny Style Records)

June, 2008 on BlackGospel.com

Destiny Praise has a sound best described as intense praise and worship delivered by pure anointed voices. Possessing the artistic range to tackle such genres is a feat in itself, but their seamless transition is God’s handiwork alone. Together since 2001, this Atlanta based group of 9 has the God-adoring lyrical composition and infectious rhythm that permeates throughout all types of audiences, young and old alike. Saddleback pastor and best-selling Purpose Driven Life author Rick Warren even noted Destiny Praise’s ability to make every audience member want to say, “Me too, God. That is how I feel.”

Destiny Praise has the support of many who are anticipating the release of their third CD entitled DRIVEN on June 3^rd, 2008. With the first single ‘His Will’ making it’s way onto radio stations across the United States and the accompanying video is now playing on The Gospel Music Channel and BET. This project is best described stylistically as a cross between Israel Houghton’s praise and worship, with the urban radio friendliness of Kirk Franklin, doused in unabashed energy and praise of Tye Tribbett.

These energetic, gifted performers were selected from the praise team ministry of Atlanta area Destiny Metropolitan Worship Church (DMWC), where founder, Dr. Bryan E. Crute is the Senior Pastor. DP has been blessed with many opportunities to share their talents. In 2007 DP performed at the Gospel Choice Music Awards and won the category of Best Duo/Group. They performed at the 2005 Trumpet Awards, were featured on the debut album of Integrity Gospel Recording Artist "Charles & Taylor," opened for greats such as: Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Kim Burrell, Donnie McClurkin, and John P. Kee to name a few. They also participated in the Purpose Driven Worship Conference concert held at Saddleback Church, where the pastor is Rick Warren.

Destiny Praise was designed to export musical expression all over the world, across all color lines, sharing the Gospel through song so that in the midst of life situations all who hear can be encouraged, saved and strengthened for God's purpose.

A worship experience with a God-inspired focus, Destiny Praise displays a non-wavering commitment that pours through their current CD Driven. In the midst of the excitement of their new release, "DP's message is real and relevant because it speaks to the process of being broken and letting God rearrange you for His glory." (Amanda Braithwaite, a Destiny Praise vocalist). DP is transforming gospel into a universal groove that will have an end result of changed lives for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
