Demetrius West has a lot to celebrate. I’m Next, the lead single from Do It Again is finding its way into the top ten on the BDS Gospel Airplay chart. In more recent news, Open the Floodgates, the single from their Stellar Award nominated Choirology CD was lauded by both BMI and ASCAP as one of the most performed songs of 2019. West is humbled by it all, “Who would have thought that we would be here? These blessings are the results of a whole lot of praying, holding on to faith when times get tough and persevering through your circumstances. I give the glory and honor to God, and I am forever grateful to Mr. Kerry Douglas and the phenomenal Blacksmoke Music Worldwide family for their efforts and affording us the opportunity to share our message with the masses.” Blacksmoke Worldwide CEO Kerry Douglas adds, “D West gives added assurance that choir music is alive and vibrant. To see these people take the stage and sing is an experience in itself. I can’t wait to see what’s next.”
West was instrumental in pulling together singers from across Indianapolis to record a song in response to the unrest in our nation. “The whole world is in need of healing and I feel that if we could come together and ask God to heal our land that He would hear us. “ Heal Our Land was released by Indianapolis United and the song and video has been a blessing to listeners everywhere.
Gospel Music Fest takes place on Sunday, July 19th at the Macon County Fair in Indianapolis.
