One listen to her anointed ministry and it’s easy to see that this woman has been touched by God to change the world. It also explains why she’s affectionately known as Gospel music’s “Anointed Sweetheart”. Sharon Roshell is more than a singer; she is a psalmist that has the ability to bring her audience to an experience with God through her passionate delivery and powerful vocals. It’s no surprise that one prophecy after another has spoken of an influential music ministry. A former worship leader with famed preacher Pastor Rod Parsley, she moved towards her calling with three projects, God Is Bigger in 2005 and Never Thirst Again in 2008. Her most recent release, Church Girl 20:14 showcases this gifted songstress at her finest and sets the stage for her national debut. Growing up in a Christian household in Hope Mills, NC, Sharon was wellacquainted with church. But what was unusual was that as a little girl, she longed for the presence of God. She found herself in her bedroom worshipping and talking to God, simply enjoying time spent with Him. The daughter of two music lovers, she caught the music bug early in life. “I remember marching around the house behind my mother and singing along with her,” shares Sharon. “Music was blasting from the record player constantly,” she recalls. Later when she and her brother learned to play piano, her entire family hit the road and would sing at churches, nursing homes, and in homes of the elderly and ill. At the age of 13, she joined singers across the nation to sing at the renowned Carnegie Hall in New York City. It was her first taste of what it was like to sing on stage. It was then that she knew she wanted to sing for God. Her path to music ministry, however, wasn’t a straight line. She initially planned to go into the medical field as a nurse. As she drew closer to graduation, she realized that she did not have the stomach for it. Shortly after that realization, one night she ended up at a tent revival. The preacher prophesied to her that she was a singer and said that she would bless the world with her music. It was at that point that she decided to embark on a ministry in music. She graduated from Valor Christian College with a degree in Praise & Worship Leadership, followed by receiving a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Psychology from Liberty University and is currently in pursuit of her Master’s Degree in Human Services. While at World Harvest Church, she was a member of Pastor Rod Parsley’s praise and worship team. She traveled with the noted pastor and was bestowed a Pastoral medal of honor for her superior service to the ministry. After leaving World Harvest Church after graduation, she served as the worship leader at Kingdom Life Church in Baltimore, Maryland. Serving for seven years, she honed her songwriting skills while there. She added the title “recording artist” to her resume with the introduction of her debut release, an EP called God Is Bigger. That project was followed by her first full-length CD, Never Thirst Again. Tehillah Enterprises, LLC • P.O.

The 10-track project includes mesmerizing songs like “At The Cross”, “Father of Glory” and “You Shall Reap”. In early 2015, Sharon released a concept music video of the CD’s title tune, “The Church Girl Anthem”. The project is a highlight to a ministry that has seen the psalmist open for artists like Hezekiah Walker, Tye Tribbett, Fred Hammond and Smokie Norful. She was also a member of the Gospel ensemble Todd Curry & Focus. Sharon Roshell has traveled the country spreading the message of Christ through song. Wherever she goes, many are touched by her ministry. One woman came up to Sharon after a concert and told her that a spirit of sadness that had been with her since her son’s death 15 years earlier had completely disappeared when Sharon began to sing. Another woman who had been hearing “voices” was freed from those spirits when Sharon started to minister. Experiences like these further confirm God’s calling upon Sharon Roshell’s life. She continues walking in her calling with her husband, Antonio Thomas, who is also her partner in music ministry. Both licensed and ordained ministers, they serve at Harvest Church in Louisville, Kentucky. The parents of foster children, Antonio and Sharon are in the process of opening transitional homes and emergency shelters under their non-profit organization, Fuego Corporation. Damion, with his transparent songwriting ability, embraces many facets of human life experiences and knows how to lyrically navigate listeners to God through the rich textures of his music. He weaves his various influences and puts them on full display with various styles which contribute to the vividness of his message. In Damion’s own words, “Through music and life, I want to be a vessel to bring the world closer to God and to be able to help save the lost by lifting someone’s spirit through my musical message.” Tehillah Enterprises, LLC • P.O.

Reminding the listener of the immutability of God, the two women’s worship is lovely to witness. It’s just one more great song on this blessed CD. “Love”, an urban, up-tempo jam, talks about the need for true love in the world today. “You Shall Reap” is another gem on Church Girl 20:14. With a chorus taken directly from scripture, “You Shall Reap” is a beautifully-arranged track filled with doses of inspiration. The song “I’m Surrounded” shares with the believer that God is always surrounding His loved ones. Those who need to feel protected have Sharon Roshell to remind them of God’s omnipresence in this mid-tempo tune.
