5 AM PraiseBio All From Above-The Best of 5 A.M. Praise
Combine talent, ambition, personality, and a pure love of ministering
through music, and you have the main ingredients behind a spirited tour de force known as 5AM Praise.
The 2010 Stellar Award nominated sister act whose mission is to live a life that is pleasing and acceptable to God.
With a reputation built on being the most vibrant and energetic gospel duo to
take the stage, their musical style is impressive, blessed and infectious. And with an amazing choral arrangement, filled
with lyrical messages of worship and praise, 5AM Praise is living up to their name.
As they ready to release their third project, All
From Above-The Best of 5 A.M. Praise, on Born Again Records, the duos first single,
“So What,” which earned “Pick of the Week” from The Black Gospel Blog, is
creating a stir throughout the gospel community. “We all go through trials and
are discouraged at some point in our lives,” says 5 A.M. Praise. “Getting talked about, losing jobs or just not
good enough in someone else’s eyes, but this song says “So What” still stand on God’s promise and
keep your joy!” Nominated for a Washington Area Music Award for “Gospel/Inspirational
Group of the Year,” biological sisters, Temera and Toy, bring passion and inspiration
to the gospel music industry, and when they hit the stage their energy is contagious and instantly transforms the average
concert into an evening to remember—people are on their feet dancing and praising the Lord nonstop—proving that
their energy and anointing cuts to the core of what great live music is all about. Their experience and
knowledge have helped shape both their faith and their music, and with an interactive stage presence it’s no wonder
they’ve shared the stage and performed with artists as Tye Tribbett, Fred Hammond, Canton Jones, Tramaine
Hawkins, Dr. Bobby Jones, Vickie Winans and a host of others. In addition, they have three
songs featured on Bishop Abney's compilation CD, “Jesus Is the Sweetest Name I Know,” along with Marvin Sapp and
Jennifer Holiday.
Both sisters, who pride themselves in being dedicated to the
work of the Lord, hold Bachelor and Master Degrees in Organizational Leadership completing their studies at Biola and Chapman
University in Los Angeles, CA.
As faithful servants of the Lord and members of Spirit
of Faith Christian Center, where Dr. Michael Freeman is Pastor, their objective is to be aligned with Gods plan, obey, trust
and keep God on the top of their list. “We are totally committed to the Lord seeking first the kingdom of God and waiting
on the Lord knowing that He will provide our needs, give wisdom and guide us through,” says Temera. Currently
on the East coast, their history began as faithful choir members at West Angeles Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles.
But no matter where they live, their songs will continue to tell a message about Christ and encourage people to give
God an early-morning praise while allowing His glory to manifest in their lives.
