Discography
It's All Good (2007)
New-school, urban Gospel group, Focus, was formed in the spring of 2003. Rooted in Greensboro, North Carolina, not only did they physically enter a new season, but embarked on a new beginning to an incredible journey. The group, consisting of 13 anointed minstrels, led by Gospel impresario, Todd Curry, would lay and continue to build on the foundation of "pure" ministry.
Their debut project, "It's All Good", one of the most anticipated projects of the year, was produced by Grammy and Stellar Award nominee, Cedric Thompson, who has done production for Donald Lawrence, John Kee , Karen-Clark Sheard, Men of Standard, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Michah Stampley and many others. Additional production and vocals on the project was done by world renowned, Grammy Award winning, singer & producer, TONEX.
The group is currently embarking on a national promotional tour, which has already started, under the direction of Marnita Thorpe of Sought Out International and Alicia Smith and Judy Groover of Sweet Finesse Entertainment. The tour is taking them from Miami, Florida to New Haven, Connecticut, and from Charleston, South Carolina, to Los Angeles California and every hot bed of marketing in between. God's favor is definitely on their lives.
"Pure" ministry has truly resurfaced in the form of this hot new group,
Todd Curry and FOCUS!!!
Born in Reidsville, GA and raised in Greensboro, NC I learned that music would be a very big part of my life.
I began to sing around the age of 4 years old. By the time I was 7 years of age I started to play the drums. At this point I learned what musicianship was all about, and began to read music and make the best of it.
I am now the Minister of Music for New Beginnings Full Gospel Ministries, Inc in High Point, NC. Also I'm currently a vocalist for Todd Curry & Focus. Which we have a new CD out called, It's All Good Produced By: Cedric Thompson and Additional Production By: Tonex. I did have a chance to be one of the writers for this album. This was my first major album singing, writing, arranging, and producing on. So this was a big thing for me.
I have performed with Todd Curry & Focus on concert billings with artist such as Tonex, God's Chosen, Byron Cage, Micah Stampley, Donnie McClurkin, LeJeune Thompson, Donald Lawrence & Tri-City Singers, Marvin Sapp, Bishop Paul Morton, Stephen Hurd, Christopher Lewis, Darwin Hobbs, Lisa McClendon, Pastor John P. Kee & New Life Choir, Elder William Murphy, Pastor Hezekiah Walker, Ricky Dillard & New G, Lee Williams & The Spiritual QC, Vashawn Mitchell, Jonathan Butler, Canton Spirituals, Dennis Reed & GAP, Lucinda Moore, Earnest Pugh, Monique Walker, Darrell McFadden, Lamar Campbell, The Murrills, Anthony Jones & The UWF Mass Choir, & Many More. Also I had the honor of singing for Fantasia (American Idol Winner) Mother's Wedding April 7, 2007. I performed with Aseelah (P. Diddy's Background Vocalist).
Since then I have started my own Production Company called Rell's Productions. So watch out for that for real. I'm looking forward to working with many other artists in the future. For those of you that waiting to know if I'm going to do my own album soon. I will plan on it, but I will have to see what God has for me to do first ok.
