Joyful, uplifting, inspiring, affirmative, exuberant and universal in itâs appeal and intention â that is the music of Minister JOMO. RELEASED on August 1st, 2008; the message and ministry of this uprising gospel sensation of the New York area is abundant with love, faith, rhythm, and wisdom. Itâs delivered with a persuasiveness springing forth from the heart. This recording is an original expression of his artistic arsenal and Godâs anointing on his life.

Written and produced by Jomo, the CD features guest appearances by Billy Thompson, a New York-based Jamaican Christian Dancehall/Ragga artist, Gospel Recording Artist Carol Amba Hawthorne, TAWM Worship leader Rhonda Dunn Morrison and a vibrant singer and spoken word artist Ms. Uwana.

This debut solo project âCan Do All Things Though Christâ is themed from Philippians 4:13, a popular bible verse and itâs emphasis is to admonish every born again to exercise the authority and dominion granted to us by God through his son Jesus and through the empowerment of His precious Holy Spirit. A music rich in diversity due to Jomoâs exposure to various cultures. Jomo was born in Malawi, Southern Africa and he is currently based in New York and has traveled in the United States and various countries in Africa and Asia Pacific.

Ask Jomo what he loves about his music and ministry? The answer is as warm, embracing, and reflective as his music. 'The music brings joy. I truly believe that my songs bring the answers and the solutions, as opposed to just talking about the problems. My music at its core is joyful.' I want to lift up Jesus and as he is lifted up, he draws men nigh unto himself.

Jomoâs music journey starts at the age of 9 when he gave his life to the Lord Jesus Christ. Born and raised up in Malawi, the warm heart of Africa. He grew up in an Assemblies of God Church and found himself falling in love with christian music because that's what his parents strictly made him listen to. Of course in his lone time; he could listen to different styles so as to broaden his artistic versatility. After a couple of years of training, Jomo started playing piano, acoustic guitar and drums. God started unlocking the potential in him and in no time at all he ventured into poetry, songwriting and music production.

In 1997, he got in college to study Electrical/Electronics Engineering but became so much immersed in (music and ministry) that people thought that the latter was his major. God divinely connected him to some influential people and he ended up forming an urban music ministry called "Springs". Associated to "Springs" was a vibrant dance ministry called "Judah Dancers", which he co-founded. Springs rose to be one of the prominent gospel groups in Malawi, Southern Africa. Jomo and the Springs have 2 CDâs to their credit and a music video compilation DVD.

God begun widening his vision such that he began marrying his artistic giftings with the technical skills acquired. That's how he ended up in the multimedia ministry and industry. Jomo has many facets including directing praise and worship teams, working as a Power Technician with a railway company, a sound engineer, production assistant for a commercial radio station, and he also has worked as a Technical Consultant for a mobile telecom systems company.

In one word, JOMO is a versatile individual; Minister, Engineer, Music Artist, Graphic Designer, Video Editor, Photographer, Web Editor, Radio Broadcaster and the list goes on. His Motto in life is: "Never ever limit yourself". You can't rise above what you think of yourself. What you see is what you become. With faith in God, hard work and commitment and consistency, one can accomplish amazing things. No matter the challenge, never quit cause quitters never win!
