My first live recording as a Karew artist makes me feel motivated and sincerely excited. I pray that every song, each melody and lyric will touch the heart of every listener.”
“We are greatful to what God did during Jonathans live recording,” said Karen Clark Sheard, co-founder of Karew Records. “Jonathan is our first signee and first venture outside of the family. We are very excited to have the opportunity to market and promote his debut project on Karew Records.”
