Gifts come without repentance, but the anointing costs. Tisa (Tee-sah) is an artist who has always been gifted but it was not until she submitted to the Lord could she see how all the painful experiences of her childhood had been preparation for her ministry. There is a process; a crushing that releases the oil of the anointing. Listening to her music you will hear the sincerity and purity of her spirit and feel the anointing of the Lord God. Tisa’s decision to use her vocal ability to sing exclusively in the Gospel Inspirational music arena was one she could not escape. She knew that her true calling was to inspire, uplift, exhort and positively impact individuals for Christ. Since then, Tisa has been the winner of contests at local radio stations as well as a semi finalist in Bishop Paul Morton's Gospel Dream Talent Search. In 2000 and 2002, Tisa once again won talent contests as 'lead vocalist' of a trio and as ' solo female vocalist'. She has appeared on TBN’S “Praise The Lord”-Jacksonville FL and Bobby Jones New Artist Showcase. Also Tisa has opened for BIU, VICKIE WINANS and BISHOP LARRY TROTTER and showcased at Teresa Hairston’s GHF conference 2005 in Atlanta. She has performed background vocals on Co-Pastor Elena Robertson's 2007 release "Amazing" as well as live with Allen and Allen and Stephanie Dotson. She was a finalist in Daywind’s Exalting Him 2005 talent Search televised to over 90 million households via TBN. Most recently she was awarded contemporary female vocalist of the year at the IGMA ceremony. Tisa released her debut album in October 2003, entitled "Diary Of An Overcomer" in which she had the opportunity to minister songs at the Legendary Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. The album is an Urban/Contemporary production. It features all original material written primarily by Tisa, and is packed full of lyrics inspired from Tisa's unique, personal testimony. The album is filled with energy, passion and emotion, and is an inspiration and comfort to people everywhere. She has just released her sophomore project self-titled "TISA Chapter II". This project displays her ascension as an artist and worshipper, for GOD’s glory. Tisa is an artist of pure, real music ministry who has truly lived to "overcome". Tisa currently is a member of the International Praise Team and a state leader of worship for the Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship under the leadership of General Overseer of Music William Murphy III. She also serves as a praise and worship leader and choir director at Mt. Gilead Full Gospel International Ministries in Richmond, VA as well as a leader in the Women's Ministry (KAPOW) at Mt.
