Remember that what's for you is not for them.
Meaning that blessing, that talent, that gift that you
possess, especially tailor made for you, not for them.
(00:22):
So when you remember that that blessing was created for you and
not for them, that's a great reminder so that you can always
remember. You can tune out all the other
negative noise. You'll have people that can
recognize that blessing, that talent, that gift that you have
and they know that they do not possess that same talent gift
(00:43):
energy, that same light. So they'll.
Try. They'll try to.
Do their best to talk you out ofgetting that blessing they'll
try to do. Their best to talk.
Their insecurities into you transfer that energy of
insecurity into you. So you have.
To continue to remember what wassent for you was not sent for
them. Also, if you're struggling with
(01:04):
people understanding you, again,it was sent to you, not to them.
So that dream that you have is not for that other person to
understand because it's not thatdream, it's yours.
Remember all the energy, the blessings, the light within you
was tailor made for you. Again, it was created for you,
(01:24):
not them. So you don't have to discuss
everything with them because it was for you.
So remember everything right now, all the things that's
working in your life is pushing you towards greater again.
It was made for you and not them.
You don't need that validation from the outside.
That outside validation is goingto pull you back further and
(01:45):
further and further from achieving your dreams.
So remember a vision that God gave you that was a secret
meeting, a meeting between you and Him.
That gift is for you and not them.
So remember, keep your head heldhigh, keep looking forward and
don't give up. Use your discernment.
Do whatever you can to achieve those goals and that dream.
(02:09):
Don't let the naysayers talk youout of anything.
You know what you need to do. So remember that gift is for you
and not them. Hey Queen, welcome to another

never tilted. Go Queen.
(03:19):
Go queen, go queen. So thank you guys for joining
another episode of the Key chat today.
My very special guest is Mr. Titus Shower Senior.
And Titus, of course, is a gospel sensation and two time
(03:42):
nominated fellow award nominee. And we're going to talk about
this great new single that he has out right now.
Feed me with the legendary Fred Hammond.
But we're also going to dive into Titus's early beginnings
and get some insight on how we can keep our faith too right
now. And it's crazy time that's going
on. So how are you doing today?
(04:03):
I am great, thanks for having me.
How are you doing today? I'm doing great.
I'm blessed. I'm so happy to speak with you
now. Of course, your first album was
entitled Who? So of course, that's the first
thing I want to dive into just so you can give our audience
some background on who is Titus and you can give us some of your
beginnings and just your starting love of music and just
your childhood growing up and all that good stuff.
(04:25):
Absolutely. The album was entitled Who?
Because I wanted people to know who Titus Showers was.
And definitely I wanted them first of all, to know who our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was, because you know, when he
was out there with his disciplesand and then they asked the
question, well, you know what they saying about me out there?
You know, who do men say that I am?
(04:47):
And some said he was this personand some say he was that person,
but he asked them, well, who do you say that I am?
And, and they said in response, I am the Christ.
So I wanted the world to know that he's the man, He's the
Christ, He's the only way. And you will secondarily get to
know who Titus Showers is because I was started off with
my siblings, the showers. We were two times Stella
(05:09):
nominated. And the Lord has allowed me to
go solo. And that was my first album solo
project, introducing myself to the world as tight as showers.
The solo artists. And I definitely, definitely had
a strategic plan behind it. The Lord blessed it.
And I'm thankful for my family for the humble beginnings here
in Hammond, LA. I'm #5 of 10 children and I'm
(05:31):
everybody's favorite, I must say, you know, my dad's is this
amazing pastor and my mom amazing missionary who stands by
my my father who rightly dividesthe word of God and definitely
live the life that he preaches about so humble beginnings here
in Hamel, Louisiana. I'm with my amazing family
started off with my father asking the the Lord to bless him
(05:54):
with a singer started with my oldest sister.
And as he and my mother continueto be fruitful and multiply, the
rest of us develop the talent and receive the gift from God to
we have a very unique sound. And we formed our harmony here
in Hammond, LA and Hammond, LA around the table, just listening
to great music and just growing up on the legendary families of
(06:17):
gospel music. And we started singing before my
father would preach. So that's a whole summarization
of the TIDAL Showers humble beginnings.
That's awesome. Now my mom.
She's also APK preacher's kid. Also ten siblings.
So sorry family. Attention.
Out of 10, so it's a small world.
(06:38):
So and how that is who was some of your musical influences?
I know I would see being raised in the church, but people don't
understand that they weren't raised in church.
Being raised in church, it's a it's a concert on a regular
basis. You know, here in the gospel
choir, here in the fingers, you're exposed to some of the
best musicians in the world are in the church.
So I know obviously you had thatthat musical influence or who
(07:00):
would some of maybe your other outside musical influences as
well? You know, outside the church
rather. You know, I love like I'm great
singers that can help me in in developing my craft.
I love the R&B legend Joe. He definitely taught me a lot of
stuff. But definitely, you know, more
than that, you know, I was just really strictly a church guy,
(07:21):
you know what I'm saying? I'm Pastor John P Key, he's the
goat to me. Fred Hammond, he's a goat to me.
I'm the family, The Winans, you know, we grew up under that
umbrella of music and the great Paul Porter and the Christian
Arabs at the time. A great learn from I learned
from under his two religious as well.
You know, so many amazing singers that we studied in and
(07:42):
tried to develop their craft andand make it into our own.
So those that, those were great inspirations unto me and those
are great artists that I still listen to to this day.
Awesome, that's amazing. I know I will see.
You have Humber roots in Louisiana, So what influenced
you to, I guess, take it from church to take your gift, your
(08:05):
talent? I know your family had the
group, you know, to bring it outand introduce it to the world
and become actual recording artists.
What was that transition like? Just continuing to sound great
here in Louisiana. We thought we would had great
cohesiveness and great harmony. We just wanted to continue to
take our gifts to the next level.
We were singing here before my dad would preach, we would sing
(08:27):
at musicals here in Louisiana, and we was just developing as
this great family who should record a live album.
And we did that in 2009. Not knowing the business, we
just came out just thinking thatsomeone would hear us and we
would put out a great sound to the world that's unique and
someone would sign us. So it didn't work like that.
(08:48):
So we definitely had to study and research the business, visit
the GMW as visit the Stella's goand research this.
And that's what my sister did. And definitely in 2014 and in
2016, we became known as the national recording orders, the
showers after we studied our craft and perfected it and work
(09:09):
on those area, areas of weaknesses that we had, we
definitely learned the business and definitely the talent
followed up behind the business.That's something else.
So being raised in the church now, did you ever have, I know
being APK and having your father's influence, did you ever
have any desire to be a ministerand a preach?
(09:32):
My Big Brother is amazing. Pastor, Preacher.
He's the only minister in the family besides my father.
I'm definitely, you know, I lovethe word.
I love good preaching. I must say that, you know, I
really have a calling on my lifeper SE.
You know, so many people hear mysound.
I sound like a preacher, but I don't want to sound like a
(09:53):
preacher. I want to make sure it's a
divine calling from the master. Because you don't want to have
an urge to do something that youwasn't called to do because
that's a good way for you to fall and that's a good way for
God to humble you. So you definitely have to walk
where He leads you. And right now I'm walking in the
path that He's leading me and then allowing Him to direct my
path. Yes, I love it.
(10:14):
I love it. And I know you mentioned too,
like when your family started your musical group, how you guys
didn't have, you know, a lot of knowledge with the music
industry. Are there any challenges that
you faced just being a musical artist, you know, when you first
started? I know like the music business
can be very complex. So were there any challenges
that you faced and overcame? Definitely I'm overcame the the
(10:35):
fact of I'm just being a new person out in the industry and
just really came in blinded you definitely, as I stated that
thought that your sound was justyour unique sound and someone
would hear it and pick you up and sign you to a major labels.
But we definitely had to learn that major labels were were
(10:55):
definitely scarce. It wasn't as many.
I think we can name two or threeof them right now in the gospel
industry. And but just imagine back then,
you know, you have more. But definitely the talent pool
was so open. It was so broad and so many
other talented people who are definitely searching out to be
signed as well. So you have to present something
(11:18):
on the table for us like the business side and starting your
own label to make them hear you and make them want to come.
So those challenges were there and we kicked down that door of
starting our own label, which atthe time was A&P Records after
researching the business. And we were able to walk through
certain doors that we normally couldn't get in just off of
(11:39):
talent. So we had to definitely learn
the business and definitely learn that aspect of it and
allow doors to open that way. And then we started another
company, which is Tight Music Group, the label that I'm under
now. And then the distribution deals
come from definitely, definitelyother distribution companies to
connect with you and allowing your sound to get out to the
(12:01):
world. So I'm researching the business,
kicking down that door, startingyour own label, definitely
having to go to certain engagements, having 3 minutes or
4 minutes to make sure you have to do what you do in that time
frame so your sound can be heard.
And then you can be welcome to more minutes, to welcome to more
(12:22):
venues with doors open and allowyour sound to be heard as well.
So we have to do that in the beginning.
Yeah, so I can. Imagine that was a big learning
experience so of. Course I want.
To ask you about this new singleFeed Me.
Fred Hammond, of course, is a giant, so I wanted to get some
information on how did you link up with him.
And like I said, I love this single.
(12:43):
I remember you shared it with meand it's just beautiful.
So I want to ask you first, how did you link up with Fred
Hammond and how was that experience working with him?
So I recorded the record initially in Philadelphia after
working with my great producer Jeremy Boyd and his amazing team
and ME definitely was a Co writer on this record with me.
(13:03):
The Lord dealt with me. We was in a session in Philly.
I became hungry physically, I was weary ready to sit down the
session. But the Lord said no and Jeremy
say let's continue to work. So I took me a nap, spoke with
my wife, spoke with my sister and the Lord gave me this great
appetite to crave my appetite. He said it's feed me till I want
no more. And he fed me with those lyrics
(13:26):
and I begin to hum it as Germanycontinue to produce.
And we recorded that record in in Philadelphia.
And after I recorded it, I was like, man, that's a great
record. Let's go.
Let's send it out to the press, to the radio, to the publicist.
Let's get this thing trending. And then my A&R, Miss Blakely,
who is also the assistant of type music group, she heard the
(13:46):
record and she heard Fred Hammond on the record.
So behind our backs, behind the scenes, she reached out to
Fred's team and Fred heard the record and he loved it.
And he agreed to be on the record.
And Blakely called and say, guess what?
I got a surprise. The great Fred Hammond has
agreed to be on your record. And I was like, wow, you
serious? That blew me away.
(14:07):
And I definitely had a FaceTime Zoom call with him.
We talked for hours and hours. He shared with me some insight
of of great things to start implementing in my music career.
And it was just a dream come true to fly out to Dallas in
March of 20, 24 to share in the studio session with the great
Fred Hammond. And even some of Commission was
(14:29):
in the building working on new music as well.
So as he was recording, I was able to just learn and sit back
and be a fan. And he had the audacity
initially to say, nephew, when I'm in there, I like to work by
myself. I like to not be bothered.
And I'm like, man, you Fred Hammond, what am I going to say
to you? So that process was great and it
(14:51):
was definitely a dream come trueto work with the legend.
And that's it in its totality. Wow.
That is something else. My Speaking of Commission, I
did, you know, doing my research, I did see a clip of
you singing some songs from Marvin Sapp during the tribute.
So who's like, who's your wish list?
And I know we we knocked off Fred, so we know you scratched
(15:12):
that one off. Do you have, you know, like if
you had a wish list of some morelegends that you love to link up
with and record with or produce with, who are some other people
on that list? Wow, I see.
I love the great Travis Green. I love Jonathan McReynolds, Ty
Delaney, I love Chandler Moore of Maverick City.
Chan is is the great sound that I love in this day and age.
(15:36):
And I can never forget the Paul Porters and the John P Keys.
Now, Paul did produce my family's first album.
So we have a great personal relationship and I'm definitely
able to connect the dots with that.
So we're getting ready to make that happen.
So Zaccardi Cortez, the Diedrichhaving haddons of the world, you
know where my you know, I have agreat producer team, you know,
(15:56):
with the luscious Hoskins, that's my bro from Houston, TX,
who has produced for the Marvin Sapps, for the Zaccardi Cortezes
of the world, the Jane Fortunes of the world.
So you know, my great producer team.
I would love to stick with them and then bring these other
amazing artists in to collaborate with me and just
form this great unique relationship like I have with
(16:18):
Pastor Mike Junior. That's my bro.
I love his sound as well and I love his work.
So I'm those are some amazing people that I would love to
connect and connect with in the near future.
That's awesome. Those are some giants definitely
that you need to do. So I want to ask you just with
your career and it's great Louisiana hometown too.
So just being you know somebody,anybody from Louisiana, whenever
(16:42):
somebody out to the state makes it and achieves their dreams,
it's a great feeling. It's something great to watch.
So I want to ask you just right now in your career, what have
been someone you have to sit back and think, what are some of
the most special highlights thatstand out for you?
I'm sure there's many. There's so many and, and
definitely I want to start off just, I'm just having the
(17:02):
opportunity to leave worship at my father's churches, you know,
to leave worship and, and just continue to perfect my craft
there. And then God continued to expand
my territory to allow me to be hired as a worship leader at
Community Church in Covington, LA under Pastor Nathan Young.
And then he enlarged my territory again.
(17:23):
Now I'm working full time with Pastor Barrier and Household of
Faith in New Orleans, LA just tobe their full time worship
leader. You know, these doors that are
opening for me all starts from the humble beginnings.
And then you can branch out to being able to sing on the Stella
Awards emerging stage. Being able to be a
representative of the inaugural first Gospel celebration when
(17:47):
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ticket when they came in 2020,
having a #1 record, you know, all of these are great accolades
that I have to attribute to my humble beginnings.
You know, so there's so much more that's on the list, but
definitely, you know, the doors that the Lord is open for me, I
can only just sit back and tell him thank you and just remain
(18:09):
humble and continue to allow himto do the exalting.
Because if I exalt myself, he would definitely make me a base.
And I don't want to fall down and definitely struggle getting
back up. So if I keep him at the
forefront, he would continue to allow my territory to be
enlarged. I love it.
I love it and I want to ask you to, I know, and I'm going to
(18:31):
shift a little bit. I want to ask you, you know,
with music, I, I was in music isa ministry.
So you may not be behind that pulpit, but you're definitely
still reaching and touching lives what you're singing with
your melodies. I want to ask you to just with
mental health, I'm like, right now, this is a really delicate
time just in our world. Just things that we're seeing on
the news. They got this political things
(18:51):
going on. We have other things going on
that are very hurtful sometimes,you know, just to know.
So what are just some of your perspectives on just mental
health and how what are some things that you may do to cater
to your mental health? What are some suggestions that
you have because sometimes things may get a little muddy.
Sometimes people may, they can have some time, I think
struggling with prayer life, mental health, they don't know
(19:13):
like which direction to go and even seeking therapy, things
like that. What are just some of their
suggestions? Are just some of the practices
that you use to cater to your mental health and what are some
suggestions that you have for others as well?
Absolutely seek you first the Kingdom of God, and all these
things will be added unto you. So He must come first because
He's a common mechanism unto you.
(19:34):
He allows you to research those things even in His word that can
help your mental. Just out of respect for Him.
There's always a sense of nervous nervousness that comes
over me before I minister, a sense of anxiety, but just Him
allowing me to work for Him. He gives me at least common
mechanism of using a mic. You know, people don't.
(19:57):
People think of simplicity, but I think of it as a big thing to
have a mic stand as my coming mechanism because it helps my
mentor. It settles me down.
And definitely always having himat the forefront of my life
always settles me down and allows me to make better
decisions because I don't alwaysmake the right decisions, but
I'm able to go to him for the forgiveness that I need and
(20:19):
allow him to redirect my path. And so in all of our lives, we
got to have him at the head of our lives.
And then go out and even get advice from other people.
You know, I have great spiritualleaders that I can go help and
to go and help me steer me in the right directions because
there's great counsel in great leadership that I have.
(20:40):
And I'm it is, I'm grateful to be afforded that.
And I'm also a mental health specialist here in Louisiana
where I go out into the community and help young men and
try to keep them out of the system.
So many in the court system thatgoes into a different
facilities, I go there and show them a better way.
I let them know that just because you grew up in a single
(21:01):
parent home, don't let that be your downfall.
Look on TV, that's someone that made it without a two parent
home. LeBron James, the Kevin Durants
of the world. You never see these guys
bragging on their father. So don't let that be your
excuse. You get up, you go get you a
job. You don't have to stand on the
street corner and fall in the trend of the world of being a
(21:21):
drug dealer or trying to make fast money.
I go show them a better way. Go get you a nine to five.
Go get you some insurance. Because if you live the fast
life, it's going to lead to a hurried downfall and you're
going to have to have insurance.You're going to have to have
this in your lifestyle. You know, I've tried to teach
them a better way to help them maintain because it is a
(21:42):
stressful moment waking up in anenvironment that is not
conducive to live in. So we definitely try to steer
them in the right direction and give them a better way to
maintain through the bullying oflife, to maintain through the
anxiety, through the depression.You know, because many have seen
their fathers get murdered on seeing their father fall or the
mothers struggle on the food stamp side of the world.
(22:05):
You know, we definitely have to show them how they can be
uplifting to their family by making good grades in school,
getting a scholarship, just showing them from the the minute
things that we seen minute because we never had to struggle
like so many other people may bestruggling.
But just to go into that environment and show them a new
direction is just a ministry of itself.
(22:28):
And so I definitely love it, love the job that I do and also
would like to maintain my mentoras well by seeking guidance from
someone who can steer me in the right direction.
Yes. I love it, I love it.
And I commend you for working with the youth and especially,
you know, young males, because Ithink with young people, they
need to be introduced to faith. They need to be introduced to
(22:51):
Jesus because not sometimes I think you take, we take for
granted maybe, you know, depending on people's
upbringing, it's like you said, like we may take for granted
that OK, maybe this child reallyhasn't been introduced to Jesus
Christ at Church of Faith of Prayer.
We we can't assume that everyonehas that fruit embedded in them.
So I definitely appreciate you just acknowledging that and then
(23:13):
teaching these young children tolike something as minor as your
mindset, how you do things can change your life.
It can have a major change in your life, something that may
seem simple to them. We know just from from the
outside looking in like no, thiscan really shift your life.
And you're right that no matter what your circumstance is, you
(23:34):
don't have to sit in it. You know, there's single mother,
you know, you don't have to think that you have to conform
to the world. So I think that's the in
general. You know, even for.
Adults, you know, just reaching out to people saying you don't
have to conform to the world, you don't have to conform to
(23:55):
what's popular. It's OK to you don't have to
join any crowd. So I definitely commend you with
that because it's never enough of that like as we can do any as
much teaching as possible. Like I said, even past the
youth, just to have that confidence built into you.
Like it's OK to just if you knowthis is right, stick with it.
(24:17):
You know like to do that. So I definitely commend you with
that. I want to ask to just just with
faith and being positive becausejust like you touched on how the
youth, you know, they're being introduced just from what you're
doing and just how this can change your life.
This can shift your life. I think even sweater thoughts,
as I mentioned, sometimes peoplestruggle with faith, especially
(24:38):
in the type of world that we're living in now, the darkness that
may exist to just struggling with their faith.
What are just some things that you can say to encourage people?
And I know I would say your wordalone, just opening the Bible,
get into the word. But as I said, some people
really they don't know that. So what are just some things?
(24:59):
I guess I can ask you just to maybe reach out to people who
they may not they really are struggling.
They don't know to pray. They don't even know how to
start a prayer life. So to say to people, they may be
like, you know, I want to, I want to build my faith.
I want to get closer to God. I want to learn Jesus Christ,
but I don't even know how to pray.
I open the Bible. I don't know where to start it.
(25:21):
So like, what can you say to these people, people?
And I hate to put you on the spot.
But no, I love it. I love the great question
because everything has a starting point.
Even your car, you have to warm it up before you take off and
drive. There's certain process that
must be taken before we do anything in life.
And so even as a new creature inthe Lord and Savior Jesus
(25:42):
Christ, that's a starting point.So we start really with Romans
10 and nine, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus and believe in thine heartthat God has raised Jesus from
the the dead, thou shalt be saved.
So that's a whole starting pointfor every person that needs a
starting point. You believe that God raised
Jesus from the dead. You believe that Jesus died on
(26:04):
the cross. He suffered a tremendous death
just to save us and became our sacrifice.
You believe that you can be saved.
So you start there and then you introduce them into the things
that the Lord has done for them in waking them up this morning
and being the creator of the world.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God.
You start slowly. That's a slow process with
(26:26):
everything. Even in cooking you got to cut
the stove on before the meat getdone.
So even as babes in Christ, I believe we talked about it in
First Corinthians over there as it speaks of a spiritual in the
corner Christian. The spiritual Christian lays up
on his foundation gold, silver and Press of stone.
Then it speaks of that corner Christian whose wood, hay and
(26:46):
stubble and every man work is going to be tried by the fire of
what sort it is. And it even speaks about being a
baby in Christ where you speak, you feed those spiritual
Christians with with with with with meat.
And you feed the the beginning Christians with milk because
even the baby we start off feed the baby with milk.
You know what I'm saying? Until they're able to get to the
(27:08):
processing of the food of the meat, what can digest and
meditate into our lives. And so everything is a starting
process introduced them to how to pray.
You introduced them to the Our Father, which art in heaven, you
know. So that's a sorting process that
we all must take in every aspectof life.
I love it. I love it.
(27:30):
Back to music, of course, so. I want to.
Put you on the spot yet again. So if you have to create a
playlist, just a playlist of some great inspirational songs.
It could. It could be some from a from
just a nice mix from some of thegiants or just from from the new
upcoming people. Can you create a playlist right
now for people? It could be 5 songs, it could be
(27:52):
10, whatever you want. I want to add to this, you could
create a playlist right now in the spot to just really feed us
a combination of everything to feed us.
And then the time where you know, like when you you can
really feel it. You want to get up?
You want to start dancing to theorg?
Give us a playlist. A nice, well-rounded playlist.
Well, you know, I have a great playlist, so I would definitely
(28:16):
start off with, you know, with legendary old school songs, you
know, that's spiritual to me andhave that healing medicine like
my dad always say, you know, andGeneral P Key was great word in
this song. I start with Pastor Key, start
with the Fred Hammonds of the world.
I will start off even transitioning to the new era of
the Travis greens. He has great music.
(28:39):
Todd Delaney never miss. I call him Mr. Consistent.
Definitely. We can go into the maverick
cities of the world now. I love the Channeler Moore
sound. So I really just have the
Channeler Moore sound in my playlist.
And then I got the PJ Martin. He has that soul for R&B.
Not too controversial, you know,I love his sound and love his
(29:00):
music. He's from Louisiana as well.
Shout out to PJ. Even John Legend has a great
sound. Joe See, I learned from great
artists that I can definitely implement their ribs and runs on
my stage for my so my showmanship.
So so these are the type of people I have on my playlist as
we speak. So I think you'll be great in
(29:21):
listening to these great artistsbecause Zaccardi as well.
I love learning from men becauseI'm a you know, I'm a man as
well. And you know, with the females,
they sing so high. I'm not able to do those
dynamics that they do. So I love listening to great
male singers, but nothing against these amazing women
because the great Kim Burrells of of the world, the great
(29:42):
Leanders of the world, Lisa knows, you know, Tasha Page
Lockhart, you know, even the TheClark Sisters, Karen Kiara as
well, you know, you know, come on the list can go on and on
with the females. But I like to listen to the
brothers, you know, so I can learn a lot from them.
Oh. Yes, that's yes and I love Kiara
Cher for sure is in conversation.
(30:04):
But before we end everything, tell us what's next.
What can we expect? And of course you have this
single right now, which is and what else can we expect in the
future? Definitely, I have some some
dates coming up and definitely when I'm in a town in the city
near you, you definitely can come pop up on me.
I would love to interact with each and everyone of you.
I'm leaving out on a retreat on next week.
(30:27):
I leave out for Nashville this weekend as well to do some
content work with my amazing team at Way North and the
Orchid. I'm able to travel next week to
Charlotte. Then the week after that I have

introducing them, you're introducing him to people.
Of course, young people who likeI said, they may not, they may
not know and you may be, you're probably the first person that's
even told them things that couldsave their life.
And I definitely committed with that.
And also, what's your ministry ministering to music?
Thank you. Because right now we need it.
We need, Phoebe, like you said, we need as much fullness, we
(32:42):
need as much food for thought, as much food for healing that we

that, but thank you. But guys, make sure you check

Remember that what's for you is not for them.
Meaning that blessing, that talent, that gift that you
possess, especially tailor made for you, not for them.
(00:22):
So when you remember that that blessing was created for you and
not for them, that's a great reminder so that you can always
remember. You can tune out all the other
negative noise. You'll have people that can
recognize that blessing, that talent, that gift that you have
and they know that they do not possess that same talent gift
(00:43):
energy, that same light. So they'll.
Try. They'll try to.
Do their best to talk you out ofgetting that blessing they'll
try to do. Their best to talk.
Their insecurities into you transfer that energy of
insecurity into you. So you have.
To continue to remember what wassent for you was not sent for
them. Also, if you're struggling with
(01:04):
people understanding you, again,it was sent to you, not to them.
So that dream that you have is not for that other person to
understand because it's not thatdream, it's yours.
Remember all the energy, the blessings, the light within you
was tailor made for you. Again, it was created for you,
(01:24):
not them. So you don't have to discuss
everything with them because it was for you.
So remember everything right now, all the things that's
working in your life is pushing you towards greater again.
It was made for you and not them.
You don't need that validation from the outside.
That outside validation is goingto pull you back further and
(01:45):
further and further from achieving your dreams.
So remember a vision that God gave you that was a secret
meeting, a meeting between you and Him.
That gift is for you and not them.
So remember, keep your head heldhigh, keep looking forward and
don't give up. Use your discernment.
Do whatever you can to achieve those goals and that dream.
(02:09):
Don't let the naysayers talk youout of anything.
You know what you need to do. So remember that gift is for you
and not them. Hey Queen, welcome to another
episode of the Q Chat. Today we're honored to have with
us Titus Showers, a gospel powerhouse whose voice and
message have touched hearts across the nation.
(02:29):
A stellar award sensation, Titushas made a profound impact in
the world of gospel music. His latest single, Feed Me,
featuring the legendary Fred Hammond, is already making
waves. From his soulful melodies to his
unwavering faith, Titus brings us a unique blend of
spirituality and artistry to every performance.
(02:50):
Get ready to be inspired as we dive into his journey, the
stories behind his songs, and the faith that feels his passion
for music to. The Queen about a business,
working hard on a mission and high purpose driven crown on
never tilted. Go Queen.
(03:19):
Go queen, go queen. So thank you guys for joining
another episode of the Key chat today.
My very special guest is Mr. Titus Shower Senior.
And Titus, of course, is a gospel sensation and two time
(03:42):
nominated fellow award nominee. And we're going to talk about
this great new single that he has out right now.
Feed me with the legendary Fred Hammond.
But we're also going to dive into Titus's early beginnings
and get some insight on how we can keep our faith too right
now. And it's crazy time that's going
on. So how are you doing today?
(04:03):
I am great, thanks for having me.
How are you doing today? I'm doing great.
I'm blessed. I'm so happy to speak with you
now. Of course, your first album was
entitled Who? So of course, that's the first
thing I want to dive into just so you can give our audience
some background on who is Titus and you can give us some of your
beginnings and just your starting love of music and just
your childhood growing up and all that good stuff.
(04:25):
Absolutely. The album was entitled Who?
Because I wanted people to know who Titus Showers was.
And definitely I wanted them first of all, to know who our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was, because you know, when he
was out there with his disciplesand and then they asked the
question, well, you know what they saying about me out there?
You know, who do men say that I am?
(04:47):
And some said he was this personand some say he was that person,
but he asked them, well, who do you say that I am?
And, and they said in response, I am the Christ.
So I wanted the world to know that he's the man, He's the
Christ, He's the only way. And you will secondarily get to
know who Titus Showers is because I was started off with
my siblings, the showers. We were two times Stella
(05:09):
nominated. And the Lord has allowed me to
go solo. And that was my first album solo
project, introducing myself to the world as tight as showers.
The solo artists. And I definitely, definitely had
a strategic plan behind it. The Lord blessed it.
And I'm thankful for my family for the humble beginnings here
in Hammond, LA. I'm #5 of 10 children and I'm
(05:31):
everybody's favorite, I must say, you know, my dad's is this
amazing pastor and my mom amazing missionary who stands by
my my father who rightly dividesthe word of God and definitely
live the life that he preaches about so humble beginnings here
in Hamel, Louisiana. I'm with my amazing family
started off with my father asking the the Lord to bless him
(05:54):
with a singer started with my oldest sister.
And as he and my mother continueto be fruitful and multiply, the
rest of us develop the talent and receive the gift from God to
we have a very unique sound. And we formed our harmony here
in Hammond, LA and Hammond, LA around the table, just listening
to great music and just growing up on the legendary families of
(06:17):
gospel music. And we started singing before my
father would preach. So that's a whole summarization
of the TIDAL Showers humble beginnings.
That's awesome. Now my mom.
She's also APK preacher's kid. Also ten siblings.
So sorry family. Attention.
Out of 10, so it's a small world.
(06:38):
So and how that is who was some of your musical influences?
I know I would see being raised in the church, but people don't
understand that they weren't raised in church.
Being raised in church, it's a it's a concert on a regular
basis. You know, here in the gospel
choir, here in the fingers, you're exposed to some of the
best musicians in the world are in the church.
So I know obviously you had thatthat musical influence or who
(07:00):
would some of maybe your other outside musical influences as
well? You know, outside the church
rather. You know, I love like I'm great
singers that can help me in in developing my craft.
I love the R&B legend Joe. He definitely taught me a lot of
stuff. But definitely, you know, more
than that, you know, I was just really strictly a church guy,
(07:21):
you know what I'm saying? I'm Pastor John P Key, he's the
goat to me. Fred Hammond, he's a goat to me.
I'm the family, The Winans, you know, we grew up under that
umbrella of music and the great Paul Porter and the Christian
Arabs at the time. A great learn from I learned
from under his two religious as well.
You know, so many amazing singers that we studied in and
(07:42):
tried to develop their craft andand make it into our own.
So those that, those were great inspirations unto me and those
are great artists that I still listen to to this day.
Awesome, that's amazing. I know I will see.
You have Humber roots in Louisiana, So what influenced
you to, I guess, take it from church to take your gift, your
(08:05):
talent? I know your family had the
group, you know, to bring it outand introduce it to the world
and become actual recording artists.
What was that transition like? Just continuing to sound great
here in Louisiana. We thought we would had great
cohesiveness and great harmony. We just wanted to continue to
take our gifts to the next level.
We were singing here before my dad would preach, we would sing
(08:27):
at musicals here in Louisiana, and we was just developing as
this great family who should record a live album.
And we did that in 2009. Not knowing the business, we
just came out just thinking thatsomeone would hear us and we
would put out a great sound to the world that's unique and
someone would sign us. So it didn't work like that.
(08:48):
So we definitely had to study and research the business, visit
the GMW as visit the Stella's goand research this.
And that's what my sister did. And definitely in 2014 and in
2016, we became known as the national recording orders, the
showers after we studied our craft and perfected it and work
(09:09):
on those area, areas of weaknesses that we had, we
definitely learned the business and definitely the talent
followed up behind the business.That's something else.
So being raised in the church now, did you ever have, I know
being APK and having your father's influence, did you ever
have any desire to be a ministerand a preach?
(09:32):
My Big Brother is amazing. Pastor, Preacher.
He's the only minister in the family besides my father.
I'm definitely, you know, I lovethe word.
I love good preaching. I must say that, you know, I
really have a calling on my lifeper SE.
You know, so many people hear mysound.
I sound like a preacher, but I don't want to sound like a
(09:53):
preacher. I want to make sure it's a
divine calling from the master. Because you don't want to have
an urge to do something that youwasn't called to do because
that's a good way for you to fall and that's a good way for
God to humble you. So you definitely have to walk
where He leads you. And right now I'm walking in the
path that He's leading me and then allowing Him to direct my
path. Yes, I love it.
(10:14):
I love it. And I know you mentioned too,
like when your family started your musical group, how you guys
didn't have, you know, a lot of knowledge with the music
industry. Are there any challenges that
you faced just being a musical artist, you know, when you first
started? I know like the music business
can be very complex. So were there any challenges
that you faced and overcame? Definitely I'm overcame the the
(10:35):
fact of I'm just being a new person out in the industry and
just really came in blinded you definitely, as I stated that
thought that your sound was justyour unique sound and someone
would hear it and pick you up and sign you to a major labels.
But we definitely had to learn that major labels were were
(10:55):
definitely scarce. It wasn't as many.
I think we can name two or threeof them right now in the gospel
industry. And but just imagine back then,
you know, you have more. But definitely the talent pool
was so open. It was so broad and so many
other talented people who are definitely searching out to be
signed as well. So you have to present something
(11:18):
on the table for us like the business side and starting your
own label to make them hear you and make them want to come.
So those challenges were there and we kicked down that door of
starting our own label, which atthe time was A&P Records after
researching the business. And we were able to walk through
certain doors that we normally couldn't get in just off of
(11:39):
talent. So we had to definitely learn
the business and definitely learn that aspect of it and
allow doors to open that way. And then we started another
company, which is Tight Music Group, the label that I'm under
now. And then the distribution deals
come from definitely, definitelyother distribution companies to
connect with you and allowing your sound to get out to the
(12:01):
world. So I'm researching the business,
kicking down that door, startingyour own label, definitely
having to go to certain engagements, having 3 minutes or
4 minutes to make sure you have to do what you do in that time
frame so your sound can be heard.
And then you can be welcome to more minutes, to welcome to more
(12:22):
venues with doors open and allowyour sound to be heard as well.
So we have to do that in the beginning.
Yeah, so I can. Imagine that was a big learning
experience so of. Course I want.
To ask you about this new singleFeed Me.
Fred Hammond, of course, is a giant, so I wanted to get some
information on how did you link up with him.
And like I said, I love this single.
(12:43):
I remember you shared it with meand it's just beautiful.
So I want to ask you first, how did you link up with Fred
Hammond and how was that experience working with him?
So I recorded the record initially in Philadelphia after
working with my great producer Jeremy Boyd and his amazing team
and ME definitely was a Co writer on this record with me.
(13:03):
The Lord dealt with me. We was in a session in Philly.
I became hungry physically, I was weary ready to sit down the
session. But the Lord said no and Jeremy
say let's continue to work. So I took me a nap, spoke with
my wife, spoke with my sister and the Lord gave me this great
appetite to crave my appetite. He said it's feed me till I want
no more. And he fed me with those lyrics
(13:26):
and I begin to hum it as Germanycontinue to produce.
And we recorded that record in in Philadelphia.
And after I recorded it, I was like, man, that's a great
record. Let's go.
Let's send it out to the press, to the radio, to the publicist.
Let's get this thing trending. And then my A&R, Miss Blakely,
who is also the assistant of type music group, she heard the
(13:46):
record and she heard Fred Hammond on the record.
So behind our backs, behind the scenes, she reached out to
Fred's team and Fred heard the record and he loved it.
And he agreed to be on the record.
And Blakely called and say, guess what?
I got a surprise. The great Fred Hammond has
agreed to be on your record. And I was like, wow, you
serious? That blew me away.
(14:07):
And I definitely had a FaceTime Zoom call with him.
We talked for hours and hours. He shared with me some insight
of of great things to start implementing in my music career.
And it was just a dream come true to fly out to Dallas in
March of 20, 24 to share in the studio session with the great
Fred Hammond. And even some of Commission was
(14:29):
in the building working on new music as well.
So as he was recording, I was able to just learn and sit back
and be a fan. And he had the audacity
initially to say, nephew, when I'm in there, I like to work by
myself. I like to not be bothered.
And I'm like, man, you Fred Hammond, what am I going to say
to you? So that process was great and it
(14:51):
was definitely a dream come trueto work with the legend.
And that's it in its totality. Wow.
That is something else. My Speaking of Commission, I
did, you know, doing my research, I did see a clip of
you singing some songs from Marvin Sapp during the tribute.
So who's like, who's your wish list?
And I know we we knocked off Fred, so we know you scratched
(15:12):
that one off. Do you have, you know, like if
you had a wish list of some morelegends that you love to link up
with and record with or produce with, who are some other people
on that list? Wow, I see.
I love the great Travis Green. I love Jonathan McReynolds, Ty
Delaney, I love Chandler Moore of Maverick City.
Chan is is the great sound that I love in this day and age.
(15:36):
And I can never forget the Paul Porters and the John P Keys.
Now, Paul did produce my family's first album.
So we have a great personal relationship and I'm definitely
able to connect the dots with that.
So we're getting ready to make that happen.
So Zaccardi Cortez, the Diedrichhaving haddons of the world, you
know where my you know, I have agreat producer team, you know,
(15:56):
with the luscious Hoskins, that's my bro from Houston, TX,
who has produced for the Marvin Sapps, for the Zaccardi Cortezes
of the world, the Jane Fortunes of the world.
So you know, my great producer team.
I would love to stick with them and then bring these other
amazing artists in to collaborate with me and just
form this great unique relationship like I have with
(16:18):
Pastor Mike Junior. That's my bro.
I love his sound as well and I love his work.
So I'm those are some amazing people that I would love to
connect and connect with in the near future.
That's awesome. Those are some giants definitely
that you need to do. So I want to ask you just with
your career and it's great Louisiana hometown too.
So just being you know somebody,anybody from Louisiana, whenever
(16:42):
somebody out to the state makes it and achieves their dreams,
it's a great feeling. It's something great to watch.
So I want to ask you just right now in your career, what have
been someone you have to sit back and think, what are some of
the most special highlights thatstand out for you?
I'm sure there's many. There's so many and, and
definitely I want to start off just, I'm just having the
(17:02):
opportunity to leave worship at my father's churches, you know,
to leave worship and, and just continue to perfect my craft
there. And then God continued to expand
my territory to allow me to be hired as a worship leader at
Community Church in Covington, LA under Pastor Nathan Young.
And then he enlarged my territory again.
(17:23):
Now I'm working full time with Pastor Barrier and Household of
Faith in New Orleans, LA just tobe their full time worship
leader. You know, these doors that are
opening for me all starts from the humble beginnings.
And then you can branch out to being able to sing on the Stella
Awards emerging stage. Being able to be a
representative of the inaugural first Gospel celebration when
(17:47):
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ticket when they came in 2020,
having a #1 record, you know, all of these are great accolades
that I have to attribute to my humble beginnings.
You know, so there's so much more that's on the list, but
definitely, you know, the doors that the Lord is open for me, I
can only just sit back and tell him thank you and just remain
(18:09):
humble and continue to allow himto do the exalting.
Because if I exalt myself, he would definitely make me a base.
And I don't want to fall down and definitely struggle getting
back up. So if I keep him at the
forefront, he would continue to allow my territory to be
enlarged. I love it.
I love it and I want to ask you to, I know, and I'm going to
(18:31):
shift a little bit. I want to ask you, you know,
with music, I, I was in music isa ministry.
So you may not be behind that pulpit, but you're definitely
still reaching and touching lives what you're singing with
your melodies. I want to ask you to just with
mental health, I'm like, right now, this is a really delicate
time just in our world. Just things that we're seeing on
the news. They got this political things
(18:51):
going on. We have other things going on
that are very hurtful sometimes,you know, just to know.
So what are just some of your perspectives on just mental
health and how what are some things that you may do to cater
to your mental health? What are some suggestions that
you have because sometimes things may get a little muddy.
Sometimes people may, they can have some time, I think
struggling with prayer life, mental health, they don't know
(19:13):
like which direction to go and even seeking therapy, things
like that. What are just some of their
suggestions? Are just some of the practices
that you use to cater to your mental health and what are some
suggestions that you have for others as well?
Absolutely seek you first the Kingdom of God, and all these
things will be added unto you. So He must come first because
He's a common mechanism unto you.
(19:34):
He allows you to research those things even in His word that can
help your mental. Just out of respect for Him.
There's always a sense of nervous nervousness that comes
over me before I minister, a sense of anxiety, but just Him
allowing me to work for Him. He gives me at least common
mechanism of using a mic. You know, people don't.
(19:57):
People think of simplicity, but I think of it as a big thing to
have a mic stand as my coming mechanism because it helps my
mentor. It settles me down.
And definitely always having himat the forefront of my life
always settles me down and allows me to make better
decisions because I don't alwaysmake the right decisions, but
I'm able to go to him for the forgiveness that I need and
(20:19):
allow him to redirect my path. And so in all of our lives, we
got to have him at the head of our lives.
And then go out and even get advice from other people.
You know, I have great spiritualleaders that I can go help and
to go and help me steer me in the right directions because
there's great counsel in great leadership that I have.
(20:40):
And I'm it is, I'm grateful to be afforded that.
And I'm also a mental health specialist here in Louisiana
where I go out into the community and help young men and
try to keep them out of the system.
So many in the court system thatgoes into a different
facilities, I go there and show them a better way.
I let them know that just because you grew up in a single
(21:01):
parent home, don't let that be your downfall.
Look on TV, that's someone that made it without a two parent
home. LeBron James, the Kevin Durants
of the world. You never see these guys
bragging on their father. So don't let that be your
excuse. You get up, you go get you a
job. You don't have to stand on the
street corner and fall in the trend of the world of being a
(21:21):
drug dealer or trying to make fast money.
I go show them a better way. Go get you a nine to five.
Go get you some insurance. Because if you live the fast
life, it's going to lead to a hurried downfall and you're
going to have to have insurance.You're going to have to have
this in your lifestyle. You know, I've tried to teach
them a better way to help them maintain because it is a
(21:42):
stressful moment waking up in anenvironment that is not
conducive to live in. So we definitely try to steer
them in the right direction and give them a better way to
maintain through the bullying oflife, to maintain through the
anxiety, through the depression.You know, because many have seen
their fathers get murdered on seeing their father fall or the
mothers struggle on the food stamp side of the world.
(22:05):
You know, we definitely have to show them how they can be
uplifting to their family by making good grades in school,
getting a scholarship, just showing them from the the minute
things that we seen minute because we never had to struggle
like so many other people may bestruggling.
But just to go into that environment and show them a new
direction is just a ministry of itself.
(22:28):
And so I definitely love it, love the job that I do and also
would like to maintain my mentoras well by seeking guidance from
someone who can steer me in the right direction.
Yes. I love it, I love it.
And I commend you for working with the youth and especially,
you know, young males, because Ithink with young people, they
need to be introduced to faith. They need to be introduced to
(22:51):
Jesus because not sometimes I think you take, we take for
granted maybe, you know, depending on people's
upbringing, it's like you said, like we may take for granted
that OK, maybe this child reallyhasn't been introduced to Jesus
Christ at Church of Faith of Prayer.
We we can't assume that everyonehas that fruit embedded in them.
So I definitely appreciate you just acknowledging that and then
(23:13):
teaching these young children tolike something as minor as your
mindset, how you do things can change your life.
It can have a major change in your life, something that may
seem simple to them. We know just from from the
outside looking in like no, thiscan really shift your life.
And you're right that no matter what your circumstance is, you
(23:34):
don't have to sit in it. You know, there's single mother,
you know, you don't have to think that you have to conform
to the world. So I think that's the in
general. You know, even for.
Adults, you know, just reaching out to people saying you don't
have to conform to the world, you don't have to conform to
(23:55):
what's popular. It's OK to you don't have to
join any crowd. So I definitely commend you with
that because it's never enough of that like as we can do any as
much teaching as possible. Like I said, even past the
youth, just to have that confidence built into you.
Like it's OK to just if you knowthis is right, stick with it.
(24:17):
You know like to do that. So I definitely commend you with
that. I want to ask to just just with
faith and being positive becausejust like you touched on how the
youth, you know, they're being introduced just from what you're
doing and just how this can change your life.
This can shift your life. I think even sweater thoughts,
as I mentioned, sometimes peoplestruggle with faith, especially
(24:38):
in the type of world that we're living in now, the darkness that
may exist to just struggling with their faith.
What are just some things that you can say to encourage people?
And I know I would say your wordalone, just opening the Bible,
get into the word. But as I said, some people
really they don't know that. So what are just some things?
(24:59):
I guess I can ask you just to maybe reach out to people who
they may not they really are struggling.
They don't know to pray. They don't even know how to
start a prayer life. So to say to people, they may be
like, you know, I want to, I want to build my faith.
I want to get closer to God. I want to learn Jesus Christ,
but I don't even know how to pray.
I open the Bible. I don't know where to start it.
(25:21):
So like, what can you say to these people, people?
And I hate to put you on the spot.
But no, I love it. I love the great question
because everything has a starting point.
Even your car, you have to warm it up before you take off and
drive. There's certain process that
must be taken before we do anything in life.
And so even as a new creature inthe Lord and Savior Jesus
(25:42):
Christ, that's a starting point.So we start really with Romans
10 and nine, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus and believe in thine heartthat God has raised Jesus from
the the dead, thou shalt be saved.
So that's a whole starting pointfor every person that needs a
starting point. You believe that God raised
Jesus from the dead. You believe that Jesus died on
(26:04):
the cross. He suffered a tremendous death
just to save us and became our sacrifice.
You believe that you can be saved.
So you start there and then you introduce them into the things
that the Lord has done for them in waking them up this morning
and being the creator of the world.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God.
You start slowly. That's a slow process with
(26:26):
everything. Even in cooking you got to cut
the stove on before the meat getdone.
So even as babes in Christ, I believe we talked about it in
First Corinthians over there as it speaks of a spiritual in the
corner Christian. The spiritual Christian lays up
on his foundation gold, silver and Press of stone.
Then it speaks of that corner Christian whose wood, hay and
(26:46):
stubble and every man work is going to be tried by the fire of
what sort it is. And it even speaks about being a
baby in Christ where you speak, you feed those spiritual
Christians with with with with with meat.
And you feed the the beginning Christians with milk because
even the baby we start off feed the baby with milk.
You know what I'm saying? Until they're able to get to the
(27:08):
processing of the food of the meat, what can digest and
meditate into our lives. And so everything is a starting
process introduced them to how to pray.
You introduced them to the Our Father, which art in heaven, you
know. So that's a sorting process that
we all must take in every aspectof life.
I love it. I love it.
(27:30):
Back to music, of course, so. I want to.
Put you on the spot yet again. So if you have to create a
playlist, just a playlist of some great inspirational songs.
It could. It could be some from a from
just a nice mix from some of thegiants or just from from the new
upcoming people. Can you create a playlist right
now for people? It could be 5 songs, it could be
(27:52):
10, whatever you want. I want to add to this, you could
create a playlist right now in the spot to just really feed us
a combination of everything to feed us.
And then the time where you know, like when you you can
really feel it. You want to get up?
You want to start dancing to theorg?
Give us a playlist. A nice, well-rounded playlist.
Well, you know, I have a great playlist, so I would definitely
(28:16):
start off with, you know, with legendary old school songs, you
know, that's spiritual to me andhave that healing medicine like
my dad always say, you know, andGeneral P Key was great word in
this song. I start with Pastor Key, start
with the Fred Hammonds of the world.
I will start off even transitioning to the new era of
the Travis greens. He has great music.
(28:39):
Todd Delaney never miss. I call him Mr. Consistent.
Definitely. We can go into the maverick
cities of the world now. I love the Channeler Moore
sound. So I really just have the
Channeler Moore sound in my playlist.
And then I got the PJ Martin. He has that soul for R&B.
Not too controversial, you know,I love his sound and love his
(29:00):
music. He's from Louisiana as well.
Shout out to PJ. Even John Legend has a great
sound. Joe See, I learned from great
artists that I can definitely implement their ribs and runs on
my stage for my so my showmanship.
So so these are the type of people I have on my playlist as
we speak. So I think you'll be great in
(29:21):
listening to these great artistsbecause Zaccardi as well.
I love learning from men becauseI'm a you know, I'm a man as
well. And you know, with the females,
they sing so high. I'm not able to do those
dynamics that they do. So I love listening to great
male singers, but nothing against these amazing women
because the great Kim Burrells of of the world, the great
(29:42):
Leanders of the world, Lisa knows, you know, Tasha Page
Lockhart, you know, even the TheClark Sisters, Karen Kiara as
well, you know, you know, come on the list can go on and on
with the females. But I like to listen to the
brothers, you know, so I can learn a lot from them.
Oh. Yes, that's yes and I love Kiara
Cher for sure is in conversation.
(30:04):

What can we expect? And of course you have this
single right now, which is and what else can we expect in the
future? Definitely, I have some some
