Los Angeles, CA (February 19, 2015) - The
McClurkin siblings crew up singing together around the house along with
five other sisters and brothers, not realizing there was a bigger plan
waiting to be unveiled. Andrea McClurkin-Mellini traveled for years
singing in the background for her well-known brother, Donnie McClurkin,
who’ve had great success as a gospel recording artist and a respected
and beloved pastor of Perfecting Faith Church.
In the recent CALLED Magazine cover story www.calledmagazine.com
Donnie and Andrea opens up about life, music and ministry. The
family’s ability to be candid about their struggles have become a
trademark over the years; but it’s the humor and laughter, laced within
the interview that allow readers to get a glimpse of how one can heal
emotionally, while growing spiritually. McClurkin-Mellini shares
feelings on stepping out as a solo artist for the first time and how the
journey has been a walk of faith.
“I
am overwhelmed and completely humbled by how well the single is doing! I
told the Lord from the onset of the project, to take this music where
he wants it to go; He has proven faithful and is answering my prayer. I
pray it continues to gain the momentum that he orchestrates and
prescribes,” says McClurkin-Mellini.
The
statuesque soprano has a busy first quarter that awaits her as she
preps to promote her sizzling single, “God Can” that is close to
breaking Top #10 on the gospel charts. The heat is on as she makes her
rounds starting with the Be Beautiful Expo in Philadelphia, PA on March 14.
On Sunday, March 15 McClurkin- Mellini is set to tape the new online television show, Donnie NEXT, to support her brother’s new venture and her debut solo album, Higher on Camdon Music, as well. The first show will be filmed at B.B. King Bar & Grill located at 237 West 42nd
