JOSHUA FREEMAN

Joshua Freeman is a multitalented artist, whose main goal is to bridge the gap between generations & genres through his unique musical approach. He is a dynamic vocalist, songwriter, producer & musician. As well as a loving husband and father.


From the time he was born, music has always been a part of his life. With both his parents being amazing singers and his uncle being a talented musician, it was

inevitable that he would one day pursue music. 


At the age of 3, his father bought him his first drum set. By the time he was 5, his uncle began teaching him how to play the piano. Those musical seeds that were sown blossomed into a passion & desire to perfect his crafts.

Although he seemingly always had the ability to sing, Joshua didn’t begin taking it seriously until later in life, oftentimes, trying to keep it a secret. At the age of 18,

he heard the Lord say “the thing that you’re trying to hide, is what I’m going to use most for My glory!” 


Over the next 10 years, he began auditioning for shows

and competitions, such as “Sunday Best”, “McDonald’s Gospelfest” and “The Four”. All of which Freeman never made it past the preliminary rounds. Fueled by every denial, Josh began to truly perfect his craft, spending countless hours fine-tuning his pitch, range & control.


As he learned how to better steward his gifts, God began to open doors for him. In 2017, Freeman became a viral sensation after a video of him singing to his baby

girl boomed across social media. From that, he’s been blessed to have worked with music mogul, David Foster, as well as Gospel Legend, Fred Hammond, who

happens to be Josh’s biggest musical inspiration. Other musical muses, such as John P. Kee, Stevie Wonder, Jason Nelson, Doobie Powell, PJ Morton & Tank, have all helped influence Joshua’s musical approach.

Freeman recently released his debut single, “Trust You,” available on all digital platforms Friday, June 18th, 2021, preceding his forthcoming EP later this fall. The first of many projects to come from the rising star. His prayer is that his transparency in his music reaches the lost and ultimately helps lead souls to Christ.

SHAQ HESTER, Man of Talents and Gifts

The Journey Begins...

Born in Paterson, New Jersey, and later relocating to Sumter, South Carolina, Shaq Hester, singer, actor, creator, began his relationship with music singing for his Preschool graduation ceremony. After that, his eardrums were influenced by the likes of Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Usher Raymond, The Clark Sisters, Kirk Franklin, John Legend and Musiq Soulchild.  


Exposure to such refined musicians at an early age would soon pay great dividends for this young artist. In high school, he deepened his love for the performing arts.  There, he performed in ensembles of various genres (Gospel, Jazz, Classical, and Musical Theatre). 

Blossoming and Opportunities...

During his college years at the University of South Carolina, his passions expanded.  While under the tutelage of Jacob Will, he was a featured vocalist in Carolina Alive Jazz Vocal Ensemble, USC Concert Choir, USCGospel Choir, and Opera at USC.  USC Credits include: Bardolph (At the Boar’s Head, 2015), Don Alfonso (Così Fan Tutte, 2015), and Informer #1/Señor/Captain/Croupier (Candide, 2013). Other Credits:  Little Moe (Five Guys Named Moe, 2014).


During his graduate studies, his gifts blossomed. While under the tutelage of Dr. Brian Gill, he was a featured vocalist in the IU African American Choral Ensemble and IU Soul Revue.  IU credits include:  Second Burgess (Peter Grimes, 2017), Water/Opera Chorus (Florencia en el Amazonas, 2016), Solo Inmate Three (Dead ManWalking, 2015). Other credits include Andre (Welcome to College Musical, 2017-2018). Hester earned his master’s degree from Jacobs School of Music in 2018. 

The Continued Journey...

Since moving to New York, he has performed as a featured vocalist in the Off-Broadway play, Antigone in Ferguson and in Kerby Jean Raymond’s 2019 Pyer Moss Fashion Show.  He has also appeared in Bronx Opera’s The Mikado and Trilogy Opera’s Treemonisha. In his 2019-2020 season, he provided background vocals for Aloe Blacc (GRAMMY-nominated recording artist), Jason Michael Webb (Special Tony Award recipient), Ari Groover (Alline - Tina:  The Tina Turner Musical), A. Renee, and Demetrius Lane.


He strongly resonates with Donny Hathaway, who once said, “When I think of music, I think of music in its totality, complete. From the lowest blues to the highest symphony, you know, so what I'd like to do is exemplify each style of as many periods as I can possibly do.”

DEVORY L. PUGH

Musical Creator

Devory "Lefty" Pugh is an artist, musician, and songwriter hailed from New York City.  Born into a religious household, Devory’s musical roots were planted in the church. Although his household was morally grounded, he was  exposed and influenced by the outside communities he spent time in. 


"The synergy of my home and external influences molded my musical genesis  and guided my pen when I put it to paper. Whether behind the piano,  producing, or writing, my music is the sum total of my experiences” .


Devory's music is a reflection of the world seen through his eyes. He writes from firsthand experiences as well as  from the point of view  of an observer. The stories and imagery in his music/lyrics are captivating and full of vivid description. With the stroke of a pen, accompanying melody, rhyme,  and chords, the listener can easily find  themselves in the middle of a story as it is being told. 


Devory has three new EP's available right now: The System, Love Will Win, and Climbing Out the Hole.

GUITAR LOVE

Cory grew up hearing his parents play various genres of music. He fell in love with the guitar's sound through listening to "Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.  Cory's inspiration came through watching his godfather Angel (his father's best friend and guitarist) jam out to "Maggotbrain" by Funkadelic and also through his cousin, who played bass for Gloria Gaynor, Gary U.S. Bonds, and Wilson Pickett, who took Cory to a guitar clinic.

The love of the guitar  within Cory, alerting him of his purpose on earth. 

THE JOURNEY

Cory's musical journey started with the drums in a school band at the age of 12. Though he enjoyed the drums, the electric guitar pulled the strings of his heart. In 8th grade, Cory wrote in his journal that he wanted to be "one of the best guitar players in the world." 

Cory played the drums until the age of 16. In high school, he played the bass. During his senior year at an annual show called I.N.T.E.X., he and some friends formed a band, where they played "Rearranged" by Limp Bizkit as their first performance. 

Christmas of 1996, Cory's parents surprised him with a guitar after seeing how serious it became about his life's love and journey. He studied the style of who would become one of his "guitar heroes," Jimi Hendrix. He took on the stage name "Gypsy" after Hendrix's biography "Electric Gypsy." 

A CAREER COME TRUE

After graduating high school, Cory "Gypsy" walked with his guitar on his back. This signature landed him his first recording gig with someone who noticed him and was looking for a guitarist to make a "complete" sound. 

Over the years, Gypsy has continued to practice and perfect his craft. He learned to let all of his emotions out through his fingertips. It's said of Cory to have the ability to "change the record with his playing." He plays skillfully and passionately in several genres, such as Rock, R&B, Pop, Reggae, Gospel, Funk, and some Jazz.
