RECORDING ARTIST
Lael Gilbert
Calvary Baptist Church
Queens, NY

Fresh out of New York City an awesome Woman of God has emerged to share her gift of song with the world. Lael was first blessed with the gift of dance and studied at Alvin Alley Dance School in the heart of New York City. She later studied music at Julia Richman H.S. under the Talented Unlimited Music Program. Although Lael had been attending church with her grandmother for most of her life, it wasn't until she performed in a gospel play put on by the Talented Unlimited Traveling Troupe, that she completely received Christ in her life and was forever filled with the Holy Spirit.

Lael began singing on the Children's Choir when she was just ten years old, and later joined the Junior Celestral Choir at Greater Free Gift Baptist Church in Brooklyn, NY under the anointed covering of Rev. Bats . She now attends Calvary Baptist Church and sings on the Hearts for the Lord choir under the covering of Pastor Victor T. Hall, and the musical direction of Roger Holland.
Lael is a phenomenal writer as well as a talented actress, she has starred in a one woman play "Sojourner Truth", and has performed in various off Broadway plays such as; The Diary of A Mad Black Man, and "You The Experience". Although Lael enjoys acting, and has plans of returning to the stage, she is guided by ihe direction of the FATHER.

"I Am Loved" is the first single on Lael's CD which has an expected release date set for the end of 2005. "I am Loved" is a personal gratitude letter to God for his awesome unconditional love. God has blessed Lael with the gift of song; and with the ability to anoint those who have the pleasure oflistening to the message of Love that God has strategically placed in her heart.
