The phrase, “Vocal Inspiration” originated about 35 years ago at a roundtable discussion with a group of friends during the planning of my debut music concert. Since that time, Vocal Inspiration has remained in my spirit as a non-fading echo; and today…it is “my voice!”

1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” This verse commands Christians to continue to encourage and lift-up fellow followers of Jesus Christ!

Vocal Inspirations is not just a music ministry, but it has transcended to encompass spoken, written, and lyrical inspiration.  VI is an intimate approach, presenting the good news in a way that personally and authentically speaks to the needs of God’s people today; building one another up through hope and affirmation!

VI’s voice is to speak over others, that they may speak over themselves. To walk in their divine purpose, affirming they are fearfully and wonderfully made!

It has been said to me, “Thomas, many souls have been charged to you; waiting on you to inspire and speak life to their broken spirit” .

It is my hope you are inspired through my voice. Vocal Inspiration!
