Kim Burrell

Kim Burrell, a pioneering voice in gospel music since 1989, has earned widespread acclaim for her powerful vocals and emotive performances. A daughter of a Church of God in Christ pastor, she began singing at just one year old with the church choir, performing Andraé Crouch’s "Hallelujah Praise". Burrell rose to national prominence with her feature on Ricky Dillard & New G’s "Worked It Out" and her breakthrough album "Everlasting Life", produced by Asaph Alexander Ward, which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Gospel Charts.

Known for her virtuosity as both a singer and pianist, she recorded "Live In Concert", earning a Grammy nomination for Best Soul Gospel Album. Subsequent albums include "No Ways Tired" (2009) and "The Love Album" (2011), the latter reaching #5 on the Billboard Gospel Albums chart and winning multiple awards, including the Dove Award for Urban Recorded Song of the Year for the lead single "Sweeter".

Beyond her recordings, Burrell founded The Love & Liberty Fellowship Pentecostal Overcoming Holy Church, where she serves as Senior Eldress/Overseer-Bishop. She also hosts the annual Ephesians 4 conference to mentor emerging gospel artists. Revered by peers like Chaka Khan, Harry Connick, Jr., Beyoncé, and Jessica Simpson, Burrell’s influence bridges generations, blending traditional gospel with contemporary innovation while maintaining a deep spiritual foundation.
