ABOUT THE CAST<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breeann \u201cBree\u201d Hammond’s <\/strong>musical clock is ticking. So, she returns home to the hub of Gospel of Music to give her career one more shot. The daughter of Gospel great Fred Hammond has a now-or-never attitude and strives to integrate herself not only in the music scene, but with this tight-knit group of childhood friends\u2026also offspring of the Gospel elite. Will they welcome her back with open arms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J. Brooks<\/strong> is the son of Bishop Michael Brooks, founding member of gospel group \u201cCommissioned\u201d along with Fred Hammond. He had his first placement at only 14 and has been a traveling musician and producer ever since. With a strong belief that music creates the genre and not vice versa, he was Bree\u2019s first call upon her return to Detroit. Will he be able to rally the crew to support Bree? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasha Page-Lockhart<\/strong> is the daughter of Lisa Page Brooks, one of the original members of the contemporary gospel group \u201cWitness.\u201d A mother of two and recent winner of BET\u2019s Sunday Best striving to push her career forward\u2026Tasha is working on a compilation album with stepbrother J. Brooks and struggling to hold on to her marriage. But will her sordid past sabotage it all? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elijah Connor<\/strong> is an R&B singer on a strictly secular path in the music business and lives by the motto, \u201cAsk for forgiveness, not permission.\u201d Regardless of having grown up in the church as a PK (Preacher\u2019s Kid), his interests led him in a different direction. Though he is tirelessly working towards success…the pressure to prove himself to his parents is immense as they are still disappointed that he never graduated college and strayed from the church.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikkia Cole-Beach<\/strong> was rebellious in her youth and all eyes were on her as the daughter of the legendary Dorinda Clark Cole of \u201cThe Clark Sisters.\u201d  Having overcome many demons on the journey to adulthood, Nikkia is now balancing her full time job as tour manager for \u201cThe Clark Sisters,\u201d motherhood and being the rock for her family, while her husband is in prison. Although she has come a long way, she is in a constant battle to escape the judgment of her past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shana Wilson-Williams<\/strong> is a singer, wife and mother of three, raised by two Pastors who served the Detroit church community for over 30 years. Although a worship leader in her own right, she feels like an outsider in the gospel music industry and will have to work even harder without any \u201ccoattails to ride\u201d like the rest of her peers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
