Who allows an album featuring a song of deliverance to debut on the Gospel Billboard charts at No.19? Only God Can! The debut CD from Pastor Lock entitled: “The Good Seed Project” began distribution (physical and digital) through Central South Distribution on May 11, 2015. It debuted on the Billboard charts of top gospel albums at No. 19, on May 19, 2015, with the quartet vibe of his current single: “He Delivered Me.” The Good Seed Project is nominated in 2 categories for the 2016 Stellar Awards: New Artist of the Year and Traditional CD of the year! On his next single, “Hang On,” Pastor Lock encourages the listening audience to not let go of God’s unchanging hand. The song is a societal song, inspired by the many challenges the world face today. It is produced by 9 time Grammy Award winning producer, Kevin Bond.
Pastor MARLON Lock understands what it takes to hold on to God’s hand through difficult situations. As a youth, he dealt with mistreatment of a daycare provider (which lead to one of his greatest blessings in disguise – his grandparents raising him from 15 months up through adulthood), childhood obesity, the loss of his dad at the age of 10 from a heroin overdose, the incarceration of his brother, suicidal thoughts (making plans to take his own life, with his own gun as a police officer), and then the loss of his beloved grandparents. When you listen to the lyrics of “You Covered Me” written by Pastor Lock, you will have a new appreciation of the love, hope and grace God has given us by covering us through our mess.
Pastor Lock has ministered at events such as the 2016 Stellar Awards Pre-show, 2015 MegaFest Mega Indie event, the 2015 Stellar Awards Radio Show, 2015 McDonald’s 365 Inspirational Gospel Tour (Milwaukee), Radio One’s “Be Beautiful” Conference in Philadelphia, and Rejoice Musical Soulfood Live, to name a few!
