*“I prayed and asked God, ‘What has kept me in the industry?’…and ‘the elements’ came (wind, earth, fire and water),” said Grammy nominated VaShawn Mitchell about his upcoming new album “Elements” (VMan Enter/Tyscot).
When I mentioned how outstanding the musicians, especially the guitar, are in the live music video of the project’s first single “God Can Do Anything,” which plays as soon as you log onto his website, he said, “Most are from Nashville. Some I know on regular bases…I have several guitar players!”
VaShawn Mitchell, a singer/songwriter/producer, was noticed by Bishop Larry Trotter and hired as Minister of Music at Chicago’s Sweet Holy Spirit Church. Though he has a degree in Psychology, music is his calling. In 1998-99 he debuted as a solo artist with “So Satisfied”. His break-through single was “Nobody Greater” in 2011, which stayed on the top of the Billboard Gospel Charts for nine weeks.
“Part of it is also giving God the power,” VaShawn said about the meaning of the upcoming album “Elements.” “We have to put our trust and hope in Him.”
