DREAM Gospel is proud to announce the signing of Orlando-based artist, Javis Mays & Restoration to its growing Gospel roster. Javis is set to release his debut album through DREAM Gospel in October 2014. This is sure to be a powerful, upbeat and anointed album! Javis Mays currently serves as the Worship Minister at the Apostolic Worship Center Orlando. His passion for worship has driven him to write songs, lead praise and worship in many arenas, and teach/train worship teams and congregations how to effectively come before the Lord in worship.
“Dream Gospel embracing me is a dream come true”, says Javis Mays. “I am so excited to be joining this team. I look forward to building this relationship and making God proud of what we will accomplish together!”
Javis was the Minister of Music at New Harvest Christian Center COGIC, pastored by Pastor Ray C. Brown, for 4 years while he attended Florida A&M University (FAMU) before returning to Central Florida. He now attends the Apostolic Worship Center Orlando, pastored by Pastor Frank E. Thompson, where he has served for almost 5 years as the Worship Minister.
His passion for worship has driven him to write songs, lead praise and worship in many arenas, and teach/train worship teams and congregations how to effectively come before the Lord in worship. Minister Mays is a man of integrity who walks in power, truth, and holiness for whom worship is an authentic lifestyle.
One day, sitting at the keyboard, the Lord gave him the name “Restoration” and the rest has been history. A group of young Spirit-filled singers, whom he always says sing better than him, came together to form the group Restoration. After eight (8) months of ministering together, the Lord moved upon Minister Mays to record a live CD/DVD Project, The Oil of Worship Live, on May 1, 2009, which was released on March 19, 2010. The Lord has anointed Minister Javis Mays to minister to the nation in Praise and Worship.
Dream Gospel was founded by David Hanley, lead singer of Press Play, in May of 2013. David Hanley (President) and wife Gina Hanley (VP of Development) have one very focused purpose and passion… and that is to see lives changed. Lance Brown (General Manager) is one of our industry’s leading minds and together the entire team puts all trust in God. DREAM is truly setting a new standard in the music and entertainment industry, while reaching thousands of lives each day.
DREAM’s approach and model is to not only sign and develop artist in the traditional manner of promoting an artist to the top of the traditional music industry and market – but also not forgetting about the church-based artist and developing a solid foundation of artist that are called, committed and targeted to reach their local, regional and world markets. DREAM Label Group is also home to CCM artist Jonathan Thulin, Cindy Cruse Ratcliff and Gospel Trio, Zie’l.
