DJ Worship More One on One with Fondrea Lewis

DJ Worship More:

I am delighted to speak to the highly respected Fondrea Lewis on the “Your’ll Soul Music Hour”. I’m sure you have heard the music and have seen one of the coolest videos of 2011 sung by this woman of God. Fondrea Lewis just released her new album entitled, ” I Believe God” along with a hit single and music video entitled “Sweeter”. Fondrea, welcome to the “Your’ll Soul Music Hour” on PreachPastor.com.

Question DJ Worship More:

Fondrea before we discuss your music, you are a minister of the Gospel first. Please share with our listeners, when did you decide to preach the Gospel?

Answer Fondrea Lewis:

I knew that I was called to preach at 17, but I didn’t actually submit to that idea until I was about 23 years old.

DJ Worship More:

My sister, you are exciting, powerful and full of life. I have seen some of your live performances on YouTube, and they are just beautiful. You’re not only an excellent vocalist, but you have also directed award-winning choirs as well.

Question DJ Worship More:

What are some of the challenges being a solo artist present? Which do you find more challenging, being a choir director or a solo artist?

Answer Fondrea Lewis:

Well I am actually a new solo “artist” per say, so I am not sure what kinds of challenges I will be up against. I just listen to the experiences of my friends who are solo artists and try to get an idea. I can imagine that one major difference is that you have to deal with less attitudes and agendas as a solo artist and with a choir directress you have to try to make voices blend, attitudes mesh, schedules match, outfits come together and the list goes on and on! With one person those kinds of decisions are much easier to make, but I love both of those areas of ministry I was just ready to experience another avenue. I have 18 years of experience being a choir directress. I was just ready for something new! Maybe I will be able to answer that question differently after a few years of being a solo artist. We’ll see how long I last……LOL

Question DJ Worship More:

The music video for “Sweeter” from the “I believe God” album is one of the coolest and just relaxing music videos I’ve seen in awhile. When I say cool, to me the feeling I get is just that everyday vibe. You know, I can truly relate with the environment and peace in the video.

Question DJ Worship More:

What was your inspiration behind the song “Sweeter?”

Answer Fondrea Lewis:

Thank you so much, I love the video as well, And that was the idea behind the video which was directed by George Searight Jr.

That song was actually written by my 19-year-old daughter Kayla who you see there in the video with me. (Smile) She is an amazing songwriter, musician and singer who happen to have her own relationship with God. She came in my room one morning at about 2a.m. and said “Mom tell me what you think” and immediately I fell in love with the song and I asked her if I ever recorded could I put that song on my album? She said really? I don’t think it’s good enough and said let me worry about that because I LOVE IT!!!! So there you have it! Maybe soon you will be interviewing her alone. This Girl has a bright future!!!!

Question DJ Worship More:

Fondrea, I don’t want to be a spoiler, but your album has a lot to offer the listener. What is your favorite song on the CD and why?

Answer Fondrea Lewis:

I do happen to love all of the songs but my actual favorite song is “I cried to the Lord” because it is the song that the Lord gave to me. I appreciate all of the other writers but that song was birthed from my personal experience with God.

DJ Worship More:

Fondrea where can we purchase your CD?

Answer Fondrea Lewis:

The CD is now available on I-Tunes, Twitter, CD-Baby, Rhapsody, V-Cast and Napster.

DJ Worship More:

What websites can we read more about you and how can fans follow up on your latest achievements?

Answer Fondrea Lewis:

You can find out more about me and where I we will be on my website, Fondrealewis.org and I am also on FaceBook.com and Twitter.com as well.

DJ Worship More:

Fondrea, thank you for taking this time to speak with PreachPastor.com. Your presence alone will light up any room that God has sent you to walk into its doors.

Thank you and God Bless.

Answer Fondrea Lewis:

Thank you so much for having me, it was a pleasure to share with you!
