There is a popular statement that says, “Those who can’t do, teach.” To the contrary emerges an extraordinary music teacher who is discrediting this phrase and evolving as an exceptional educator of the arts and a phenomenal Gospel vocalist. Ronnette Harrison is a vocalist with exquisite tone, a composer of prolific melodies, and an accomplished pianist and organist. Ronnette received a Bachelor Degree in Music Education from Towson University and previously taught in Prince George County Schools in Maryland. Now Ronnette administers private vocal and piano instruction and is making her debut as a Gospel music artist with her first single “Vessel”.
Ronnette began performing as a singer and musician with Gospel Music Hall of Fameinductee Shirley Ables & The Joy Gospel Singers at the age of 11 and has recorded with numerous artists including Vicki Yohe, Pastor Shirley Caesar and Dorothy Norwood. Ronnette is now stepping out as a solo artist after recently spending time as a singer with Stellar Award winning group Isaiah D. Thomas & Elements of Praise, and with popular Washington DC area group Mike McCoy & Voices United.
The songstress recently delivered a stunning performance garnering a standing ovation from industry executives and artist in Chesapeake, VA at the Independent Gospel Artists Alliance Conference. “Ronnette Harrison just simply blew us away at the IGAA Conference,” shares Phillip Carter, Award Winning Gospel artist and founder of Independent Gospel Artists Alliance. “Her voice and anointing changed the atmosphere in the room. She will be a breath of fresh air in Christian Music.”
Ronnette’s heartfelt and expressively sincere single “Vessel” is available on iTunes and is the first glimpse of JOURNEY, Ronnette’s debut solo album to be released in 2014.
As a highly sought after music instructor and worship psalmist, Ronnette has an increasingly busy schedule. She’ll be guest at several upcoming women’s conferences and concerts including the Vision Community Church Women of Worship Anniversary Concert on September 14 in Fredericksburg, VA. The super charged concert is presented by Rejoice America Radio and will feature Ronnette and six powerfully anointed women including southern songbird Monica Lisa Stevenson and noted vocalist Pamela Johnson. “Ronnette has an angelic voice,” states Brother Reggie Richardson, Owner of Rejoice America Radio. “Her new single “Vessel” will really bless you!”
