Meet Our Entertainment and Speakers
Marcus D. Wiley is a premiere entertainer whose class of comedy surpasses the status quo. Deeply rooted in old-time religion he offers a contemporary flair on Christian living. Wiley is best known for addressing the elephant in the room with respect, compassion, and perspective. This co-host of the syndicated Yolanda Adams Morning Show and Texas Southern University professor proves life is a journey best spent with a smile, and he is sure to bring many along the way.
The past 11 years have been a plethora of events for CoCo. She has performed continuously with Gerald Levert (11 years), Miki Howard, Aaliyah, The OJays and many others. Nevertheless, during these high profile performances, CoCo has always managed to keep God first in her life. Her spiritual commitment is so strong that she is now working in her own ministry.
She was been nominated for the 2010 Stella Award “New Artist of the Year Award” and has won the NCGAG’s 2010 “New Artist of the Year Award”. In 2004, CoCo won the “Next Gospel Star Competition” in Raleigh, NC. This experience parlayed her into sharing the stage with Kim Burrell, Beverly Craw-ford, Shirley Ceasar, The Mississippi Mass Choir, Kurt Karr, Byron Cage, Rizen and other artists.
