Erica Campbell noted that Porter’s path into gospel music might surprise some listeners, especially given his background in business and writing. Porter shared that music has always been part of his life. He grew up singing in the choir and has been writing music for decades, but he did not begin releasing songs publicly until his mid-fifties. What started as a creative outlet turned into something much bigger. Porter revealed that he has written close to 100 songs and feels energized by finally sharing them with the world.
In addition to “Finally Christmas,” Porter also released a second holiday single titled “The Announcement.” While the two songs live in the same season, they serve different purposes. “Finally Christmas” focuses on the anticipation and celebration surrounding the holiday, complete with a medley of beloved Christmas favorites at the end. “The Announcement,” on the other hand, takes on a more classical and reverent tone. Porter described it as majestic, centered on the birth of Jesus Christ and the true meaning of the season. Together, the two songs balance joy and reflection, making them easy additions to any Christmas playlist.
