“POWERHOUSE”
Hailing from Toronto Canada, the
Powerhouse Fellowship Soul Choir is
a group of talented teens and young
adults with a passion and goal to change
lives though music. Fondly referred
to as POWERHOUSE, the choir was
formed in 1986 for a church building
fund program. In 1988 the choir was
officially founded and directed under
the leadership of Shawn Cotterell. With
thirty-five voices and a multi-talented
band, the choir’s repertoire ranges
from hip-hop, reggae, traditional and
contemporary gospel.
The director and founder of this
anointed choir is Shawn Cotterell. Shawn
Cotterell’s first musical experience
began at the age of seven singing in
a church choir. By the age of twelve,
Shawn answered the call of God on
his life and began organizing the
Powerhouse Fellowship Soul Choir.
Having a love for music, Cotterell’s
professional musical experience
included recording background vocals
for Sesame Street fame-Bob Mcgrath,
