专辑简介

Born and raised in Miami, FL to Reverend W.S. Curtis and Mrs. Darlene Curtis and having been the fourth of seven children, Maranda quickly found singing to be a source of comfort, not just for herself but for all that would hear her. She was often complimented for having such a crystal clear quality with a tone that was both mellow and melodic. She started out singing before family and friends at the age of two years old. It wasn't long afterwards that everyone knew God was going to do something magnificent with her vocal gift.

After relocating from Miami to the outer perimeters of Atlanta, GA in Concord, Georgia at the age of 12, later by the age of 19, it was clearly evident that Maranda developed a love for all types of music including traditional Gospel and the quartet sound. In the summer of 2003, Maranda caught the attention of musical genius, Pastor John P. Kee, when she performed on the new artist showcase at Kee's Victory in Praise conference in Charlotte, NC. This performance afforded Maranda the opportunity to be recorded singing "Great is our God" on the Victory in Praise CD, written & produced by Pastor John P. Kee. Since then she has been featured on several other projects that he has produced. In line with the will of God, Maranda is currently working on her debut project and it is greatly anticipated.

For nearly five years Maranda served as worship leader at New Life Fellowship Center in Charlotte, NC where John P. Kee is Senior Pastor as well as ministered at conferences, workshops, concerts and touring with the New Life Community Choir. She currently serves as the Praise & Worship Leader at the Greater Travelers Rest Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia where E. Dewey Smith, Jr. is Pastor/Teacher. On June 26, 2010 God blessed her to marry the gifted and anointed prophetic preacher & teacher, Jamil Willis. Together, they look forward to leading God’s people. Maranda, affectionately described as Gospel's greatly anticipated psalmist, has been called, anointed and released into God’s Kingdom for such a time as this. They that have ears shall hear what the Spirit says through His vessel, Maranda Curtis Willis.
