Artist:Jonathan McReynolds
Song:Make Room
Album:Make Room
Singer songwriter Jonathan McReynolds has been topping the gospel album charts since his 2012 debut album Life Music. The 2018 album and single Make Room really hit the spot with gospel music fans. He was born Sept. 17, 1989 in Chicago. Raised by a single mom, McReynolds attended the New Original Church of God in Christ. He learned to play the drums at age five and then the piano at age eight. He didn't really want to sing. But he came out of his shell while in high school as a member of the group Mind Over Matter. They released an EP which McReynolds produced. Then he recorded an EP in his home that he gave to family members. He never intended to release it. When WGRB DJ John Hannah got his hands on it, he released the EP and booked McReynolds in local clubs. This led to a record deal with eOne's Light label. McReynolds has been very successful on the gospel charts. The 2018 album and single Make Room topped the gospel charts. He won eight Stellar awards and was nominated for two Grammys. McReynolds writes and produces all his music usually with his drummer Darrell "Lil Man" Howell. And like a lot of gospel albums, Make Room is a live recording. It is available as a digital download. His latest album People was released in 2020. McReynolds was a judge on season 9 of BET's Sunday Best. And he's a member of Mensa. So I guess he's a pretty smart guy. I expect Jonathan McReynolds to have a long career in gospel music. He's off to a pretty good start. Here's the video for Make Room by Jonathan McReynolds.
