Meet:
Dave James
Born in Harlem, residing in Queens, NY, Dave James was destined for greatness at the age of 14. Dave had his first solo at
a church. He didn’t take music seriously until later on when he
decided to join a group called Militant Christians, consisting
of 4 rappers and 4 singers. There, Dave got his real taste of
music. Although he joined the group as a rapper, he quickly
realized that his true calling was singing. Two years later, at the
age of 16, he wrote his first song titled “Thank You Lord” and
ministered at a church service by himself for the first time. His
popularity soon grew and he started receiving more ministerial opportunities. He later met an artist and a producer who
encouraged him to make his first album. Seeming like the right
thing to do, Dave gathered the necessary funds to do so.
However, when he reached out to the artist and producer, it
was no avail. The Holy Spirit told him “You’re doing things in
your own strength, SO WAIT.” The Lord then led him to read
scripture Isaiah 40:31. Dave fasted for 30 days and in doing so,
the Holy Spirit gave him the go ahead to proceed forth with
his ministry. Dave’s desire was to go around the world and
make the kingdom and the Glory of God known. Dave said, “I
want to see lives transformed and see God’s people restored. I
want to help people to obtain that relationship with Jesus and
not just to be saved. When people come to a concert or a
conference I want them to come and expect God to show up
because he’s the reason why we do these concerts. This is why
I do this! (Cont’d)
