Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and musician Kurt Carr is one of the most celebrated gospel talents of our time. Carr is a Dove and Stellar Award-winning artist responsible for the classic gospel songs, including “The Presence of the Lord,” “In the Sanctuary, For Every Mountain,” and “God Blocked It,” just to name a few. Mentored by the gospel legend Richard Smallwood, Carr is a classically trained musician who has developed a unique signature style combining traditional gospel composition and vocals with elements of R&B, jazz, soul, blues, and distinct modern harmonies. He worked extensively with the esteemed Reverend James Cleveland as pianist and musical director, and later went on to form his own ensemble, The Kurt Carr Singers, with whom Carr has released six acclaimed gospel albums. Carr has collaborated with both gospel and secular artists such as Stevie Wonder, Yolanda Adams, and Kirk Franklin, and continues to be a driving force behind the evolution of great gospel music.
