“Manifest is clearly a movement, not just an ensemble. The variety of traditional, bluesy, and modern textures and relevant, timeless expressions will hold you. Their obvious strong, brave belief – their faith in their messages -allows a fearless delivery which is economically divvied up, variously allowing each element, each voice and player ‘shine’ which makes for a continuous stream of unpredictable, pleasant surprises. When you think it’s great? These gentlemen take you even higher. Listening to their fresh arrangements and instrumentation is soul-rocking Sunday comfort any day. You’re gonna love Manifest and you’ll want to share them too!”
PAT McKAY | Program director for gospel and reggae at Sirius XM Satellite Radio

“MANIFEST is an amazing group. A bunch of guys who love the Lord, sound great, and their passion for ministry and for God is evident when they sing. Great things are to come from them.”
JJ HAIRSTON | Director of Stellar Award-nominated group, Youthful Praise and minister of music at First Cathedral in Bloomfield, Conn.

“Remember the warm feeling you got listening to the Winans’ gospel harmonies? MANIFEST takes you back to that feeling, but moves you forward as well with their heartfelt, original material. Bring them to your pulpit and souls will surely be saved and blessed!”
GORDON CHAMBERS | Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and record producer

“MANIFEST is a powerful group that sings praises to God with an exciting and unique style that must be heard to be believed! I got a copy and literally could not stop listening to the music! You are going to love this music and how their Praises lift your Spirits! Thank you Manifest! You certainly are letting God use you mightily!”
WILLIE JOLLEY | Award Winning Speaker, Host of the Willie Jolley Show on Sirius/XM and Best Selling Author of “A Setback Is A Setup For A Comeback”
MANIFEST is an all-male choral group, which made its performing debut at the Triad Theater in New York City on Friday, February 4, 2011. The group’s repertoire includes a range of original songs that span a number of musical genres from traditional gospel, to contemporary gospel, to jazz-infused inspirational songs, to Christian hip hop.
The mission of MANIFEST is to deliver the message of Christ to the people of God in non-traditional venues and to reach people in places and in methods that allow them to connect with Him outside of traditional church settings.
They also aim to assist churches who are seeking to reach audiences far beyond their current congregations as well as to assist fledgling churches that are establishing music ministries.
The group’s first CD project, “Highest Praise,” was released nationally August 9 and debuted in the top 40 of the Billboard Gospel chart at #32.
