Charles Winton
CEO of Kingdom Alliance Entertainment
Charles Winton has been dedicated to bringing men and women the best in Christian entertainment for the past 3 years through his company, Kingdom Alliance Entertainment. This year won't be any different as Charles prepares to unveil a lineup of excellent events for the Christian/Gospel community. The first event of the year is the Memphis Celebrates Gospel concert taking place this Saturday, January 7, 2012. Charles took a moment from his schedule to speak with DIVINE Magazine about this weekend's event.
DIVINE:: Tell our readers about Memphis Celebrates Gospel. CW:: Memphis Celebrates Gospel is a concert geared towards promoting artists and talent in the Memphis and surrounding areas. Although we're highlighting Memphis artists, we're not limited to Memphis artists only. Eventually, we would like to bring in national artists to participate in this celebration. Our main objective is to celebrate gospel music, all forms.
DIVINE::Who are some of the headliners at this exciting event?
CW::Some of the featured guests are Memphis' own: Cedric King and the King Sisters, Vincent Tharpe and Kenosis, Lisa Knowles, Michelle Prather, Supa Mario, Pastor Linwood Dillard and The Voices of Citadel, Melrose Baptist Church and many others!
DIVINE::Why did you develop the Memphis Celebrates Gospel event? CW::Memphis Celebrates Gospel was a vision God gave me to celebrate gospel music. The goal is to bring all types of genres together, under one roof, and celebrate the gospel music.It doesn't matter what form, the goal is to celebrate the talent God has given artists to express their God-given talent. This night is designed to celebrate the gifts and the music!
DIVINE::Why are events such as Memphis Celebrates Gospel so important to the Gospel community? to Memphis?
CW::Celebrating gospel on a whole, is important because we're in a day and time when it's not politically correct to speak or sing about the Gospel. So, everytime we get an opportunity, we should celebrate the Gospel of Jesus of Christ through the expression of music.I think it's especially important to Memphis because we have a lot of talent here in this city, and it's just good when we can come together and celebrate each other, and not be envious, or jealous, but rather, use the gifts God has blessed this city with and come together and represent Memphis all under one roof!
DIVINE::You named some of Gospel's greatest singers as well as some up and coming artists who will be performing at the event, what is it about their style of singing that will make this event memorable?
CW::I think each artist has their own unique gift that God has given them. When they operate in that gift, it becomes a blessing to the body of Christ. Such as, the smooth, soulful sounds of Lisa Knowles, and the the Church sound of Michelle Prather, who will take you right to chhuuuuch, like my grandma used to say. Also, the quartet sounds of Cedric King and the King Sisters appeal to those who love quartet singing. So, when you take all of these talents and put them together, you're setting up for a Gospel Explosion!! one that will be remembered.

DIVINE::What other activities will take place during this event?
CW::We're also honoring different people who have contributed to the Gospel music industry and the Kingdom as a whole. We will honor Tracy Bethea, 95.7 Hallelujah Radio Personality, for her contribution to gospel music. Also, Pastor Ricky Floyd for his contribution to Kingdom ministry, service, and the plethora of ministries that Floyd's church offers in the community. Lastly, we will pay honor to Barron McGlothlin, booking manager for Perfection. Oftentimes, we give credit to the artist, but leave out the managers and booking agents who work tirelessly to help the artist reach their potential.
DIVINE::What other events does your ministry, Kingdom Shows, have in store for 2012?
CW::We're expecting great things in 2012, we're still looking forward to hosting our Fall edition of The GospeLounge, a Christian networking set. Also, we have our Heart of Worship 2012 event and we're planning a special Easter Concert. Needless to say, my wonderful staff & I are extremely excited about the great things we're planning for 2012!
