Born in England, Jemuel Anderson moved at age four with his family to New York. His interest in piano began as he listened to his older brother, Hopeland, a classical pianist, play. Hopeland encouraged Jemuel's interest and gave lessons to him beginning at age seven. Part of that instruction was a study of classical works. Those years of study influenced and motivated Jemuel, and continue today as a major influence in his life.
Jemuel's artistry is a reflection of the music he has heard, from that first exposure to classical music to jazz, blues, gospel, and spirituals. He has been influenced by numerous artists and is comfortable in expressing himself in both traditional and current styles in a music that speaks to audiences with widely varying cultural backgrounds.
In 2015, Jemuel Anderson and his piano duo group, 4 Hands 4 Him partnered with N2A Ministries to expand inspirational music reach to digital online stores and streaming services. A portion of song royalties are donated to different charitable organizations. Jemuel's online music ministry has generated over 1 million streams, with 650,000+ from Spotify alone! Jemuel and N2A Ministries overall desire is to share inspirational music ministry on an accessible worldwide scale.

(09:58):
okay you First of all, we'regonna, we're gonna, we're gonna
get to that name later because Iliked it. I liked it. I
gotta, I gotta, I gottafind originated where that name came from.
We're gonna get to that later.Huh. But um, um, my
brother, I want to ask yousomething out. You said you started playing
(10:20):
the piano at four years old.So were you best in the church and
the house that did that happen?That's that's the way. Well, I
my parents, I was raising agodfriend family. Uh it's just my mother,
father and my brother and uh mybrother. I would say I had
a lot to do with my uhto be the person that I am.
(10:43):
He's like nine years older than Iam. Um. I see my late
brother, UM, and he wasone of the taught me piano at the
very young age and and throughout theyears I just plays God for him and
my mother and my parents who keptme in lying even in the streets of
New York City. Okay, soyou learned the pan at four. Yeah,
(11:03):
you learned the pian at four,right, they talked to you.
Well, well, actually that actuallywhen I was starting, when I was
seven. I came. I camefrom England to the United States and when
I was four years old, andI think my brother was playing at the
time, and so I started.I'm sure I hurt him, and then
I got inspired. I finally startedwhen I was probably about seven years old,
and it never stopped saying set themyeah, seven years old. Okay,
(11:26):
Now let me ask you this.Now, you know, um,
you know you can bang in thepiano, you can do the recital at
seven to eight, nine, tenyears old. But when did you realize
that you were different? I'm notthe regular piano players. Something different about
me that God has given me.At what age did you realize that?
(11:48):
And was it a battle was ita warfare like, well, no,
I can use this for God glory, But no, I just can I'm
just a regular kid pan the pianotell us that story. Yeah, I'll
tell you, to be honest withI didn't have a clue when I was
young. I was just wanting tohang out and be able to hang out
in the corners when my friends andall that. I think the Lord had
oppressed upon me when I was maybelater close to high school. Actually I
(12:13):
played the author over these years,but it's not until the music began hit
me, especially gospel music and theministry that came from it. And so
I find myself on the piano practicing. You know, there's difference between when
you when you asked the practice andthen when you practice on your own and
when you have you moved to bythe music and the ministry. And so
(12:33):
when I got a little older,you know, like I said about seventeen
eighteen, that's when I really reallygot focused on music, and that the
Lord just opened my eyes to whatmy really called my real calling in life.
Was Okay, now did you didyou go to college on the music
scholarship or how did that work?So this is my testimony a testimony to
(12:56):
many people. I did not formallystudy music in college, and um,
you know, I studied. Ihad another I studied masks and computer science.
That was my major. And evenin college, you one would think
that you would figure out what yourtrue calling was, and you know,
I practiced. I started as amusic miner, but I think I dropped
because of the course loads are soheavy. So even then, I was
(13:18):
not understanding what the true call inmy life was until I got out of
college. And then that which Istudied in school, you know, that
was my day job. But that'swhen when the Holy Spirit got hold of
me and really music really became somethinga part of my life. Okay,
amazing, amazing, Okay later,Kay, I could keep asking questions,
(13:39):
but I'm not going to all thetime. That is phenomenal. I love
to hear that because you know thatit is God when you don't have formal
training, and I love to hearthat. You know, Um, and
so sorry for the loss of yourbrother. Um, I understand that that
(14:01):
is very difficult. And I lovehow you you said just real quickly.
You know, my parents kept mein line in New York, and New
York is a when I when myhusband and I went to New York,
I was my mind was blown becauseit's never sleeps. This that is a
(14:22):
city that never sleeps. So,um, how were you protected other than
the Lord? Can you give ussome examples of how God protected you in
that space in New York? Amen? I love the question. Yeah,
so let's let's picture New York city. Um, I just like I have
fun telling about this. But Iwhen I was maybe twelve or thirteen years
(14:46):
old, I was in the homeclass of brun dmc um. I used
to yeah, yeah, run hewas a little looks like yeah, okay,
okay, great to credit time.I used to write the bus the
grand Master and flash. I usedto watching, uh you believe in he
was a he was a great readof books. And so he's just staying
in the bus. He's just youknow, we're watching. You know,
(15:07):
we just seen each other. Andso I didn't right, right, But
yeah, but so this is theenvironment I was raised in, and so
how how thank God for my parents? I gotta tell you because to answer
your question, Lady Kate, Iremember my father's rule was being in the
house before dark. That was therule. And I remember if I forgot
(15:28):
it. And I was trying tohang out my friend and trying to be
cool. And well guess who wasstanding at the corner with his hands on
his hips trying to uh trying,you know, but you got you got
the signal and I had to hadto shameless. It was a great shame
of toad head down, had towalk towards my father trying to be cool.
And you know, you can imaginethat. But and I said,
why, man, my father isso strict, But I can see why.
(15:50):
You can see a lot of youknow, fast things happened after dark.
And so just just those little things, uh great wisdom that my parents
will you know, had and andthe God has used them and kept me
in straight and kept me in line, kept you alive, you know,
yeah, yeah, yeah, andnot to and of course every every family
(16:11):
worship and we'll talk about that alittle bit more. Parents, we prayed
together, uh you know, uh, just about every night if we want
to go to bed, we cometogether and pray together and study the word.
And so those kinds of things arethose those building blocks with builds and
stressing the family. So those arevery important when when it comes to uh,
(16:33):
uh keep staying in the church.That's another big part of my life.
And so um, you know itwas you know when you see once
once the seat is planted in youyou know, you know, training the
child is a way they should gowhen it grows older, doesn't put the
apart from it. So that Iwas, I'm a testimony of that.
That's an excellent testimony. And whendid you begin writing music? Did you
(16:57):
write music with at you know,in the church? I believe I was
always it was called I thought Iwas really called to write music in the
church. The music always played,even though it's classical. I always focus
is on Christian music. I loveto say it was anything wrong with anything
in any other type of music.And like you mentioned earlier, my emphasis
(17:19):
is were more more a piano,more instrumental. So I didn't really write
too much music. Actually, Ibelieve it or not, this is probably
but the third song I wrote ina lifetime. But it's not just just
to be honest with you. Yeah, so, and I got gonna bring
them mention my wife don Maria,she a pianist herself, and for many
(17:42):
years we played together piano. Somy my emphasis ministry wise it was piano
and I got sort of grew intoa vocal arrangement. So I have for
range boy vocals for a male group, and then it's a female singers and
a lot of times it's a laboratorywork with those I know. And so
I sort of grew from a pianoto vocals to then to instrumentals. Then
(18:06):
I think twenty years ago I writewrote a full song and I said,
well, based on experience, umof this song, which which we will
I'm sure we'll talk about. Iwas actually commissioned by my uh my mother
in law. I'm gonna called motherand christ and my wife to write this
song because I never thought myself asa songwriter. Um, and because it's
so hard beyont but but but butwhen when the Lord is some pressed to
(18:33):
do something or commission to, youknow, do something, A lot of
tremendously blessed me to to and writethis song. But yeah, to ask
you a question I did. Idid. My focus is more instrumental and
piano my man, Yeah, goahead, Yeah, And like I said,
I got a stag a question foryour So my next person is,
(18:57):
do you play any other instant manlike a keyboard or anything like that?
Well, yeah, I love.Yeah, I used to mess with the
Hammond organ. Um I just said, I say, messed with it.
There's some cats out there can reallyplayed organ, but I did a little
bit of that. I think,of course keyboards, but I stuck with
(19:18):
the Hammond organs and the keyboards andpiano. Those are those are my main,
uh instruments of to play on.Yes, okay, now I want
to go back to you once again. I want to go back to your
youth. Did you ever have anidea or did you ever think that this
is what you wanted to do inlife and you was gonna be this successful?
(19:41):
Or was there something else that wasgoing on as a youth that you
thought you was gonna be or doyou even have a clue? Did you
You're saying, I'm just gonna I'mjust a kid running around teenagers and have
no clue where I'm going, Oryou have another dream? But like that
did getting a dream? Right?Right? Yeah? I was clueless,
I would say until I started gettinginto high school. And I never forget
(20:03):
when one of the we were thosecontests, Uh, I don't remember,
what's his thing. Dave Winfield usedto play for the Toronto Blues going way
back. Yeah. Yeah, sohe came and he came to New York
and he get in New York.Okay, he probably went to he played.
I was, uh, he mustbecause I remember he made his tour
around it. And so we hadall wrote essays what we wanted to do
in life. In everybody probably saidI wanted to I dream to be a
(20:26):
baseball player one day and I neverforget my finger says. My essay was
being a concert pianos pianist um.And also I think that was into all
things right. Everybody wants to bea football player. Everybody wants to be
uh some you know baseball starr.I said, you know, you know,
the concert pianist. If I'm notgoing to be this great athletics star.
(20:48):
That that's what I actually remember sayingthat. And I think that's one
of the things the Lord really spoketo my heart. Those those man,
Man, that's that's awesome. Thatis awesome. From a young man,
you knew your dream, you knewwhat you wanted you know. And and
I'll tell people this once you onceyou know that from a young man,
(21:10):
you don't under take all these bumblesand stumbles and go down the wrong path
like I did trying to say thatyour path. So I I praise the
Lord for you, and I praisethe Lord for your parents that kept you
on the right path and protected youand kept you along the way. Now,
the question I want to ask younow is um was the influence?
(21:34):
Who was on the keyboard? Giveme, give me a couple of names
that we recognize that influence you areare really encourage you to to UM say
the keyboard, I say to thekeybo Yes, of course, yes.
I love that question because I rememberI don't I can't remember how many times
I attended and smallest concerts, umuh, sitting in front seat watching them
(21:57):
played from back in the day.I think that first time I saw him
was back in ninety nineteen eighties actually, and uh with the smaller seniors and
UM and I many time. ThomasWinfield is another cat on the piano.
UM, I see, Oh,this is great, this is great.
Uh. So Thomas Winfield, alot of the contemporary guys, you know,
(22:18):
contemporary pians today has has some kindof influence indirectly, whether directly or
indirectly, from Thomas Winfield back inthe day and back then he used to
play for this. Uh, thisyoung lady, she was used to be
a model, and he may haveheard her name. Her name is Julanda
Adams. Uh so, yeah,well I saw Thomas used to produce her.
(22:48):
And I used to say, Iremember seeing she was, you know,
not well known and everything. Anduh, but you small was on
the concert as well. He was, he was, he was the main
attraction. But this young lady,you know, and who she was,
Like I said, she's a model, and she was very beautiful and elegant
and all that, and and shejust her mouth just took us to having
the ministry and so to So thosetype of musicians, um Smallwood, Thomas
(23:15):
Winfield. I had some personal friendslike brother brother Dolphus and Donald Crandell.
He used to take me, pickme up and directly to take me to
different churches and play. Got tomention him. But yeah, those individuals
and uh who had an incredible influencein my life that I would say that
those that was my school. Imean, you asked ya, So that's
(23:37):
my those my mentors. And youknow back in the day, uh,
we used to have this thing calleda tape recorder. Might and I didn't
leave, I didn't leave home withoutit, and I went to the concerts
and uh wherever it may be.And I used to take and listen to
take take to take home and justlisten to minutes and I was able to
develop my air and listening to pianomusic, you know, picking up notes
(23:59):
and things like that. So thathelped me grow as a musician. But
yeah, that's listening to those guys, Henry Davidson another one, um um
voice of supreme to those back inthe day. If that rings the name
rings about for you. So thoseinspire him a lot of times. I'm
sitting right to seats behind um watchingthese individuals playing and being wow. Wow.
(24:22):
Now now let me ask because whenI when I was growing up,
I I had, like I said, I was all over the place.
So I took I took me onpain a class and far about three days.
Then I found out my fingers,my fingers was too fat, and
the and the nun can't hopre meon my knuckles when I was in the
room. Oh man, I knowabout that. Yeah, I know you're
(24:45):
talking about really you're but um,I you know, Mike mine back in
my days, but our days,you know, I used to watch Libertache
yeah. You know, to me, it's kind of like that guy there,
because the way he pops his handoff the keyboards and just landing back
(25:07):
on the keys and find out andI'm like, how is this guy doing
this? And smiling and looking toughand looking at the sand. You know,
that's always does an amazing gift tome. Now, what I want
to ask you is this, doyou play more by ear or do you
play more by reading the music?How do you do both? Good question.
(25:30):
I started started out playing being readingmusic, and as I got older,
I leading on ear because, likeI mentioned before, because the music
that I heard is what I wasgravitating towards. And I think at the
time that the music writing, atleast I was in terms of being exposed
to, I didn't see what Iwhat I was was printing on paper.
(25:52):
In terms of music, it's notwhat I heard, And so I was
leading listening. Yeah, but todayI think the music writers are dead on.
So you can get it both waysmusic cheap music as well as you
know audio. So so that's that'sthat's my that's my growth. And and
so I sort of mixed with proand as I've gotten to more classical music,
(26:15):
to develop my playing, and ofcourse I have to read music for
that as well. Nice, niceMike. That's you know, I before
I pass over a lady, K, I just wanted you know, I
always admire, uh keyboard A keyboardplayer that can just listen to someone saying
and the ning and find that keyand match. That's just a gift.
(26:36):
That's it. It's certainly kind ofhere. And that's just I don't think
you can even teach that. Youknow, that's just amazing. But you
know what, you hit me.Hell, I'll give you a challenge now
because you know you got abc Dis it on the piano. I'm gonna
give you a challenge now. Ican hit some I need some notes that
(27:00):
ain't even in the alphabets because Ican't go ahead later, game go ahead.
I knew, I knew already.I was like, don't go there.
I cannot say. Uh, I'myeah, go ahead. Oh my
(27:26):
god, oh I have a question, Um, how did you meet your
wife? Oh? Oh, nowyou're talking, okay, Well my wife.
Well, first of all, myI was a roommates with her brother
(27:49):
women first number one and that wasback in my youthful days. And then
I knew her mother, uh,probably more so than even my wife at
the time. My mother was likea music coordinator for our headquarters in Seventh
Day Vendus General Conference headquarters, andso it was musical, so I have
(28:10):
to interact with it all the time. I knew I knew of her daughter.
But uh, I remember seeing thatI finally, I think I finally
began to see Donna Maria my wifeat the time, with just a student
school while her brother was there.So I knew more of a brother at
the time. But sometimes the timeI see, I see it. But
(28:30):
my years years years later, Um, I run into her, uh seeing
her, I think it was inthe airport or try and it was,
you know, traveling, and Isay hey, And I actually called her
by her mother's name because I knewher mother more than her. And then
we yeah, and so um weexchanged numbered at the time and just just
(28:51):
just so you know how friends arereconnecting and so um I was then to
come to learn that she was livingin the area of water and long story
short, uh things turned out whereI said, you know what I need
to I need to I need tolook into this young uh and uh and
(29:14):
and I knew them. I canfly well and and so I rest his
history because because we have guys overtwenty five years, over twenty five years
of friendship or relationship, so wenever got serious romantically until later in life.
So we always friends and there wasalways overs foundation, and I took
(29:37):
I took the chance, as always, I took the risk of gemandizing the
friendship to pursue as as a wife. I did. So we get best
of all. Amen. Wow,a man, Amen, amen, you
know you know him? Yeah,I me later, I'm literally keep asking
a question. But when I metmy That's that's why I came across my
(30:02):
mind. She was walking by alittle minute skirt, and my mind came
to my mind. I said,I said, I need to go look
into this. I need to go. Yeah, I need to investigate this
right here. So, man,with having the greats around you, um,
(30:26):
the great rap artists around you,how did you not get into second
yes, rap music? Yes,I was going to ask that, yes,
good question, lady k wow wowwow, well, very very good
to ask some good question. Youneed to write some from the downd um.
(30:47):
I the music is so good inchurch music, so good that I
believe it or not. I wasjust I was just not as interested into
second of music. It was somethingabout music. It was good music,
and then it was uplifting music.So words that mean something, you know,
because to get you through the day. Uh, so that and I
always felt that way, and soI and I'm thinking and I wasn't really
(31:08):
you know, it's the rap thing, you know, it's it's right,
It's just not my thing. Soright, I need something to uplift me
and something to inspire me. Andyou know, um, I have been
exposed to instrument instrumental instrumental music thatis inspirational. And so a lot of
(31:32):
times in church we sing songs thatwe sing about our misery or we sing
about you know, overcoming and it'llhave a lot of you know, there'll
be a lot of repeats in thesongs. How did you get into the
instrumental music because it can be umawkward for people that are so used to
(31:59):
the sing portion and not yeah,listening to the actual music to be uplifted.
Right, And so and I likethat because I like your question because
uh, as a as a musician, you have to be able to connect
musically. So you got to meetthem where they are music in terms of
(32:19):
music, So the songs that theylike to sing all the time, the
songs that they're familiar with. Youknow, I tried, you want to
you know, you want to startsomething that you have in common musically.
And then and so a lot oftimes I will I may even even some
of the rangers I do. Itry to do something relatable that they relate
to. And then I probably tointroduce something classical that they may not heard
(32:43):
before, and so they have itjust brings a new appreciation to the music
and the genres. And I rememberone time I did that. When I
did I did a presentation at ahigh school um years ago and uh for
assembly and if you remember how rowdyasembles used to be in high because I
was time to go, remember thatI had had a back to back of
(33:04):
family and so you know that youhave come and it's a public school and
you know, the typical two thousands. But what I would say I did
it was pretty much instrumental. Onething I noticed that I shared it with
them the music they are accustomed to, you know, playing some of the
songs that they knew, and Italked about Alicia Keys and then how she
started out classical musically, you know, classic class of music, and how
(33:30):
you know, this is what shedid, This is how she got to
where she was, to class themusic. And so by that then I
started to bring in some of thesongs which Small used to do, and
remember too Small he used to dolike the Lard's Prayer and then people gospel
blues, and then he brought theclassical. So right, so you mixed
the genres and people would appreciate notonly appreciate what you're bringing, but to
(33:51):
appreciate how it could be used withthe music they whatever they relate to.
And it's just level. Yeah,excellent. Let's excellent because our kids need
to be exposed to more than whaton the radio you know, or what
you know, what is popular onYouTube. They need to be exposed to
(34:12):
more, and I think your musicis something that exposes them to more,
opens and broadens their mind. Soyes, and that's phenomenal. My next
question for you is when you uembarked into ministry, tell us how did
(34:34):
you get into ministry? Because youhave four hands for him partner with into
a ministry. Tell us about theministry side of your music. Yes,
so it's It's sort of started outsmall, you know, it didn't was
like a big impact per se.It started out a lot of times for
(34:59):
my asking to play a little song, uh, to fill in the time
because there's no music and so andit drew from that. Literally the first
time we were getting up point becauseI wasn't no person to really get up
a front and play front the folk. I played for my personal enjoyment.
And it took one guy to RobertHenley. I will never forget his name.
(35:20):
This is Metter putting a brother onthe spot can play play a song
for me? And so I didn'thaven't been prepared or anything like that.
You know, Lord said, whatjust I do? So I'm coming to
walk into the pan. I don'tknow what I'm gonna play. It's a
lot of pressing. You played asong and the rest of his history.
So it started off small and thenand then you begin to see the blessings
of you know, lives being upliftedand by the ministry what you're doing.
(35:45):
And I mean it's a lot sometimesa lot of work, but but you
realize that the work that you're doingis for the benefits of it, for
the edification of God's body, thechurch. Yea. And so it's not
about easy living. I mean youjust just want to cruise and to take
it easy. But you know it'sit's a lot of work, a lot
of practicing. Um. You know, you got you got your day job.
(36:06):
But you know, you know,sometimes I find myself waking up in
the morning just to practice, tocompare history and so um. But that's
when so once you feel there asa calling, yeah, I always say,
Okay, I know I must respond. I mean, I can't do
anything. I'll I'll do my dayjob, but I cannot not do what
God has called me to do.And I have to put put in the
(36:28):
time to compare for and minister tothe hearts of those or listening. Oh,
absolutely great. And one moment beforeI passed the mike to RIVERMD um,
Yes, have you um seen orexperienced anyone getting healed or delivered from
your music? Wow? Yes,um, I received those two big uh
(36:57):
moments. Uh. One of myfriends told me that there was their sister
he used to visit in the hospitaland she was listening to and before she
passed, he said he was hewas She used to listen to quite a
bit. Another incident. Um,there's another person. I received a phone
call from somebody I never met before. I didn't know if she was at
(37:19):
the time, but she said,I want you to come and play at
my sister's funeral. Uh uh shepassed up, but she should listen to
your music quite a bit and uhad minister to her and I never met
her anything, and so she broughtthat, she brought us in and so
um so those those really touched me. And I said, he played.
(37:40):
But if I ever have the nerveto uh forget or be discouraged, h
and seeing you know I'm playing,I just got to remember. You know,
you know Lad is using what Iwhat I know it or not using
the ministry for for his glory.And that's that's what matters most. N
Amen, go ahead, uh umbrother and the son. Before you leave
(38:07):
um the show today, we wouldgive you an opportunity to share your website

the north? You got to that? Do you plan a new tour or
(40:37):
do you go out the states orin the state tour or do you have
some get tour with? I usedto quite a bit um nowdays not as
much, but I used to.You know, the used to travel overseas
with it was England and South AfricaMetrica. One of the one of the
releases I did, I did Lifein South Cape Town, South Africa.
(41:00):
Um. And so you know theEuropean countries, England, I you know,
visit them from time and times ofcourse the world born. So nowadays
I'm not as as not as travelingas much, Thank God to we have
the other you know, the socialmedia and YouTube so I don't have to
travel as much, right, butyeah, but I do. I might
get back into its more, umbecause so you know, I see myself
(41:22):
in different phases. Sometimes I'm morefocusing on the production of music where you
know, recording and in writing musicand dealing with you know, singers and
so forth. Within the other timesI'm focusing on the piano and the playing.
So it's like two different disciplines atdifferent times and different types of focus.
So okay again, m okay,okay, okay, Well, if
(41:44):
you if you ever come to Dallas, you know, oh yeah, yeah,
let let us know. We needwe need two tickets. Lady came
myself, you know. So,UM, I have another question before I
let you introduce your your website andall that. Have you? Um?
Have you or do you um?Minutes to the word like as far as
(42:08):
you know, preach or teach theworld or motivate by speaking. I ain't
away the ain't gonna behind a poople. What it's funny. I'm gonna gives
me a good segue because I dida little bit of that during the pandemic,
believing that um uh not in abig stetting but during the pandemic if
(42:28):
you remember, I mean there wasa thing called shelter Home. And what
happened was I'm not prior to that, I was not a preacher per se,
but I started. We started,my wife and I and my mother
I called Mother and Christ. Weused to come together and we had our
own sort of sort of church service, and each one, each one of
us started took turns preaching to oneanother. So I started to do more.
(42:52):
Yeah, and so this gives mea good segue to what this how
this song came about? Um soto this preaching the word think. So
one particular weekend we were not ableto come together, and I was when
my wife and I were here andmy mother in Christ was the outside of
time about two hours away. Sowe try to worship over the phone,
(43:13):
and over the phone Lord and processto do something in terms of worship,
and so came up did was saying, well, I was. I was.
We would take turns thing a phrasein adoration to God. For example,
I would say, I started bysaying, Lord, we give you
thanks for all that you have done, and then my mother in law would
say, for you are so modelous. And my wife came up after that
(43:37):
and said for the wonderful things youhave done for us. And so we
kept going in circles that way,and the Lord had just poured the holy
spur on us, and we hadwe had like an upper room experience,
and so has to do a song. That's that's exactly how it starts off
with the Lord, we give youthanks for all you've done, and so
so and so of so of along winded answer to your question. That's
(44:00):
how the ministry started from that,and then from that came the beautiful song.
A lot of the words you hearwhen you heard your crystal starts speaking
of reading the words that actually camefrom from our experience of worshiping together uh
preaching and with using you know,uh speaking the words of praise to him.
(44:23):
Amen. Amen, not do youever do you ever thing? They
um that you might be called tothat ministry also as far as as much
as the manuscript music. But theministry I'm ministering the word. I will
I will never close the door whatthe God has had Amen. Mean some
(44:49):
Amen, I love that sometimes becauseif if you put you in a position,
sometimes you have to come through andand some you know, you know,
like a ram and a thicker kindof thing you're not prepared to do,
I think, but you call forthe particular purpose and look and you
have to uh sort of do whatthat is needed for that time and place.
And so sometimes a lot of timesministry starts that way. You didn't
(45:09):
know that that you have this giftuntil you remain dormant until you're called upon,
and then the gift becomes begins tomanifest itself. So yes, so
I'm definitely open to it. Heyman, that's beautiful, and that's beautiful,
and that's that's what the Lord wantsus to be. Just be open
to him and he would take careto risk. Well, right, probably
Anderson, let me allow you nowto share with our listening audience everything about
(45:32):
you. I didn't get in touchwith you, and they can follow you
email and whatever they need to share. What if you got to shout out
to anyone, A sure shout outto my wife and my mom. Um.
So, uh, those who areinterested in probably we're under all the
major um uh digital two outlets suchas Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music,
(45:57):
iTunes and so if you want tolook me ups Felling and you can go
by my name as Jimmy Will spelledj E m U E L Anderson,
so you'll probably get a hit thatway. And the other ministry, my
wife and I actually both played atthe same on the same piano. We
call ourselves four hands with him.You can find us there as well,
so it's a number four word handsand the number four again and him.
(46:21):
So that was another ministry that weenjoyed it. So you can find us
either way. Of course you're lookingon Facebook. Reach out to me on
Facebook. I would love to hearfrom you. So you have all those
ways to reach out to us.Amen. Amen, Now, m Chris
before I pass him, pass himover to you before we get rid of
(46:43):
the clothes. Um, your wifedid she learned the same time you did.
She already knew before when y'all met. He was already at pianist and
y'all just mentioned like that, Howdid that work? Yeah, she was
very accomplished pianos even from a youngage herself. But it's once was interesting
(47:04):
that we never we were never themusical. The piano was not what brought
us together, but we just itwas just a bonus to our relationship.
It was like months and months intoour relationship Bishop before we just thought about
playing together. So we just satat the piano just sharing and having fun
is what couples to do. Andthen the birth this wonderful ministry that we
have. Awesome. Yeah, sowhat is next for you? What is
(47:31):
next? Well? Not? Well, well, believe when I was getting
back into playing the piano. Sonow I'm playing very playing various churches uh
uh uh, pulling some more classicaland the gospel uh pieces with the hymns.
(47:52):
Having done that a little while,so I am. I'm enjoying doing
that again and practicing hard and uhand so I enjoyed it very much.
So that's that's what I'm doing now. And of course sharing the ministry of
the song that we the Lord,we praise you. That was a big
project in itself, you know,getting you know, instrumentals with the orchestration
and all that. But so I'mgetting back to the back back to my
(48:14):
roots, back to the piano.And when did you release When did you
release that last song? Oh thatwas just back in October actually okay,
oh yeah, that's excellent. Whatwas that? Um? What was that
(48:37):
deciding moment on why October twenty twentytwo? Well, that was that's a
good question, because I was Iwanted to release it around my birthday,
so uh so it's like a giftto everyone else. But my birthday was
like the weekend, weekend after butI want to do it. I wanted
to do my birthday. It wasget to do it my birthday months and
(48:58):
so so that was part of theit. Uh And it was just such
a journey. Uh you know,there's a whole that's a whole another discussion,
but it was a it was whichjourney getting to point where where so
many players, so many individuals becamea part of that project to make that
the ministry come to the truition.So yeah, the back in October,
that's that's when we released it.So excellent, excellent. I love to
(49:22):
release stuff around my birthday too,so I know that it's something about that
birth month. UM for launching it'sjust always great. So congratulations on the
release and just a phenomenal amount ofI have a I have a question on

what inspired you or what brought thatto your mind? Well so so so
two things. So first, Iwas being commissioned by my my wife and
(50:05):

and the second was the best blessingsof family worship with birth this worship experience.

brother, I want to ask yousomething out. You said you started playing
(10:20):
the piano at four years old.So were you best in the church and
the house that did that happen?That's that's the way. Well, I
my parents, I was raising agodfriend family. Uh it's just my mother,
father and my brother and uh mybrother. I would say I had
a lot to do with my uhto be the person that I am.
(10:43):
He's like nine years older than Iam. Um. I see my late
brother, UM, and he wasone of the taught me piano at the
very young age and and throughout theyears I just plays God for him and
my mother and my parents who keptme in lying even in the streets of
New York City. Okay, soyou learned the pan at four. Yeah,
(11:03):
you learned the pian at four,right, they talked to you.
Well, well, actually that actuallywhen I was starting, when I was
seven. I came. I camefrom England to the United States and when
I was four years old, andI think my brother was playing at the
time, and so I started.I'm sure I hurt him, and then
I got inspired. I finally startedwhen I was probably about seven years old,
and it never stopped saying set themyeah, seven years old. Okay,
(11:26):
Now let me ask you this.Now, you know, um,
you know you can bang in thepiano, you can do the recital at
seven to eight, nine, tenyears old. But when did you realize
that you were different? I'm notthe regular piano players. Something different about
me that God has given me.At what age did you realize that?
(11:48):
And was it a battle was ita warfare like, well, no,
I can use this for God glory, But no, I just can I'm
just a regular kid pan the pianotell us that story. Yeah, I'll
tell you, to be honest withI didn't have a clue when I was
young. I was just wanting tohang out and be able to hang out
in the corners when my friends andall that. I think the Lord had
oppressed upon me when I was maybelater close to high school. Actually I
(12:13):
played the author over these years,but it's not until the music began hit
me, especially gospel music and theministry that came from it. And so
I find myself on the piano practicing. You know, there's difference between when
you when you asked the practice andthen when you practice on your own and
when you have you moved to bythe music and the ministry. And so
(12:33):
when I got a little older,you know, like I said about seventeen
eighteen, that's when I really reallygot focused on music, and that the
Lord just opened my eyes to whatmy really called my real calling in life.
Was Okay, now did you didyou go to college on the music
scholarship or how did that work?So this is my testimony a testimony to
(12:56):
many people. I did not formallystudy music in college, and um,
you know, I studied. Ihad another I studied masks and computer science.
That was my major. And evenin college, you one would think
that you would figure out what yourtrue calling was, and you know,
I practiced. I started as amusic miner, but I think I dropped
because of the course loads are soheavy. So even then, I was
(13:18):
not understanding what the true call inmy life was until I got out of
college. And then that which Istudied in school, you know, that
was my day job. But that'swhen when the Holy Spirit got hold of
me and really music really became somethinga part of my life. Okay,
amazing, amazing, Okay later,Kay, I could keep asking questions,
(13:39):
but I'm not going to all thetime. That is phenomenal. I love
to hear that because you know thatit is God when you don't have formal
training, and I love to hearthat. You know, Um, and
so sorry for the loss of yourbrother. Um, I understand that that
(14:01):
is very difficult. And I lovehow you you said just real quickly.
You know, my parents kept mein line in New York, and New
York is a when I when myhusband and I went to New York,
I was my mind was blown becauseit's never sleeps. This that is a
(14:22):
city that never sleeps. So,um, how were you protected other than
the Lord? Can you give ussome examples of how God protected you in
that space in New York? Amen? I love the question. Yeah,
so let's let's picture New York city. Um, I just like I have
fun telling about this. But Iwhen I was maybe twelve or thirteen years
(14:46):
old, I was in the homeclass of brun dmc um. I used
to yeah, yeah, run hewas a little looks like yeah, okay,
okay, great to credit time.I used to write the bus the
grand Master and flash. I usedto watching, uh you believe in he
was a he was a great readof books. And so he's just staying
in the bus. He's just youknow, we're watching. You know,
(15:07):
we just seen each other. Andso I didn't right, right, But
yeah, but so this is theenvironment I was raised in, and so
how how thank God for my parents? I gotta tell you because to answer
your question, Lady Kate, Iremember my father's rule was being in the
house before dark. That was therule. And I remember if I forgot
(15:28):
it. And I was trying tohang out my friend and trying to be
cool. And well guess who wasstanding at the corner with his hands on
his hips trying to uh trying,you know, but you got you got
the signal and I had to hadto shameless. It was a great shame
of toad head down, had towalk towards my father trying to be cool.
And you know, you can imaginethat. But and I said,
why, man, my father isso strict, But I can see why.
(15:50):
You can see a lot of youknow, fast things happened after dark.
And so just just those little things, uh great wisdom that my parents
will you know, had and andthe God has used them and kept me
in straight and kept me in line, kept you alive, you know,
yeah, yeah, yeah, andnot to and of course every every family
(16:11):
worship and we'll talk about that alittle bit more. Parents, we prayed
together, uh you know, uh, just about every night if we want
to go to bed, we cometogether and pray together and study the word.
And so those kinds of things arethose those building blocks with builds and
stressing the family. So those arevery important when when it comes to uh,
(16:33):
uh keep staying in the church.That's another big part of my life.
And so um, you know itwas you know when you see once
once the seat is planted in youyou know, you know, training the
child is a way they should gowhen it grows older, doesn't put the
apart from it. So that Iwas, I'm a testimony of that.
That's an excellent testimony. And whendid you begin writing music? Did you
(16:57):
write music with at you know,in the church? I believe I was
always it was called I thought Iwas really called to write music in the
church. The music always played,even though it's classical. I always focus
is on Christian music. I loveto say it was anything wrong with anything
in any other type of music.And like you mentioned earlier, my emphasis
(17:19):
is were more more a piano,more instrumental. So I didn't really write
too much music. Actually, Ibelieve it or not, this is probably
but the third song I wrote ina lifetime. But it's not just just
to be honest with you. Yeah, so, and I got gonna bring
them mention my wife don Maria,she a pianist herself, and for many
(17:42):
years we played together piano. Somy my emphasis ministry wise it was piano
and I got sort of grew intoa vocal arrangement. So I have for
range boy vocals for a male group, and then it's a female singers and
a lot of times it's a laboratorywork with those I know. And so
I sort of grew from a pianoto vocals to then to instrumentals. Then
(18:06):
I think twenty years ago I writewrote a full song and I said,
well, based on experience, umof this song, which which we will
I'm sure we'll talk about. Iwas actually commissioned by my uh my mother
in law. I'm gonna called motherand christ and my wife to write this
song because I never thought myself asa songwriter. Um, and because it's
so hard beyont but but but butwhen when the Lord is some pressed to
(18:33):
do something or commission to, youknow, do something, A lot of
tremendously blessed me to to and writethis song. But yeah, to ask
you a question I did. Idid. My focus is more instrumental and
piano my man, Yeah, goahead, Yeah, And like I said,
I got a stag a question foryour So my next person is,
(18:57):
do you play any other instant manlike a keyboard or anything like that?
Well, yeah, I love.Yeah, I used to mess with the
Hammond organ. Um I just said, I say, messed with it.
There's some cats out there can reallyplayed organ, but I did a little
bit of that. I think,of course keyboards, but I stuck with
(19:18):
the Hammond organs and the keyboards andpiano. Those are those are my main,
uh instruments of to play on.Yes, okay, now I want
to go back to you once again. I want to go back to your
youth. Did you ever have anidea or did you ever think that this
is what you wanted to do inlife and you was gonna be this successful?
(19:41):
Or was there something else that wasgoing on as a youth that you
thought you was gonna be or doyou even have a clue? Did you
You're saying, I'm just gonna I'mjust a kid running around teenagers and have
no clue where I'm going, Oryou have another dream? But like that
did getting a dream? Right?Right? Yeah? I was clueless,
I would say until I started gettinginto high school. And I never forget
(20:03):
when one of the we were thosecontests, Uh, I don't remember,
what's his thing. Dave Winfield usedto play for the Toronto Blues going way
back. Yeah. Yeah, sohe came and he came to New York
and he get in New York.Okay, he probably went to he played.
I was, uh, he mustbecause I remember he made his tour
around it. And so we hadall wrote essays what we wanted to do
in life. In everybody probably saidI wanted to I dream to be a
(20:26):
baseball player one day and I neverforget my finger says. My essay was
being a concert pianos pianist um.And also I think that was into all
things right. Everybody wants to bea football player. Everybody wants to be
uh some you know baseball starr.I said, you know, you know,
the concert pianist. If I'm notgoing to be this great athletics star.
(20:48):
That that's what I actually remember sayingthat. And I think that's one
of the things the Lord really spoketo my heart. Those those man,
Man, that's that's awesome. Thatis awesome. From a young man,
you knew your dream, you knewwhat you wanted you know. And and
I'll tell people this once you onceyou know that from a young man,
(21:10):
you don't under take all these bumblesand stumbles and go down the wrong path
like I did trying to say thatyour path. So I I praise the
Lord for you, and I praisethe Lord for your parents that kept you
on the right path and protected youand kept you along the way. Now,
the question I want to ask younow is um was the influence?
(21:34):
Who was on the keyboard? Giveme, give me a couple of names
that we recognize that influence you areare really encourage you to to UM say
the keyboard, I say to thekeybo Yes, of course, yes.
I love that question because I rememberI don't I can't remember how many times
I attended and smallest concerts, umuh, sitting in front seat watching them
(21:57):
played from back in the day.I think that first time I saw him
was back in ninety nineteen eighties actually, and uh with the smaller seniors and
UM and I many time. ThomasWinfield is another cat on the piano.
UM, I see, Oh,this is great, this is great.
Uh. So Thomas Winfield, alot of the contemporary guys, you know,
(22:18):
contemporary pians today has has some kindof influence indirectly, whether directly or
indirectly, from Thomas Winfield back inthe day and back then he used to
play for this. Uh, thisyoung lady, she was used to be
a model, and he may haveheard her name. Her name is Julanda
Adams. Uh so, yeah,well I saw Thomas used to produce her.
(22:48):
And I used to say, Iremember seeing she was, you know,
not well known and everything. Anduh, but you small was on
the concert as well. He was, he was, he was the main
attraction. But this young lady,you know, and who she was,
Like I said, she's a model, and she was very beautiful and elegant
and all that, and and shejust her mouth just took us to having
the ministry and so to So thosetype of musicians, um Smallwood, Thomas
(23:15):
Winfield. I had some personal friendslike brother brother Dolphus and Donald Crandell.
He used to take me, pickme up and directly to take me to
different churches and play. Got tomention him. But yeah, those individuals
and uh who had an incredible influencein my life that I would say that
those that was my school. Imean, you asked ya, So that's
(23:37):
my those my mentors. And youknow back in the day, uh,
we used to have this thing calleda tape recorder. Might and I didn't
leave, I didn't leave home withoutit, and I went to the concerts
and uh wherever it may be.And I used to take and listen to
take take to take home and justlisten to minutes and I was able to
develop my air and listening to pianomusic, you know, picking up notes
(23:59):
and things like that. So thathelped me grow as a musician. But
yeah, that's listening to those guys, Henry Davidson another one, um um
voice of supreme to those back inthe day. If that rings the name
rings about for you. So thoseinspire him a lot of times. I'm
sitting right to seats behind um watchingthese individuals playing and being wow. Wow.
(24:22):
Now now let me ask because whenI when I was growing up,
I I had, like I said, I was all over the place.
So I took I took me onpain a class and far about three days.
Then I found out my fingers,my fingers was too fat, and
the and the nun can't hopre meon my knuckles when I was in the
room. Oh man, I knowabout that. Yeah, I know you're
(24:45):
talking about really you're but um,I you know, Mike mine back in
my days, but our days,you know, I used to watch Libertache
yeah. You know, to me, it's kind of like that guy there,
because the way he pops his handoff the keyboards and just landing back
(25:07):
on the keys and find out andI'm like, how is this guy doing
this? And smiling and looking toughand looking at the sand. You know,
that's always does an amazing gift tome. Now, what I want
to ask you is this, doyou play more by ear or do you
play more by reading the music?How do you do both? Good question.
(25:30):
I started started out playing being readingmusic, and as I got older,
I leading on ear because, likeI mentioned before, because the music
that I heard is what I wasgravitating towards. And I think at the
time that the music writing, atleast I was in terms of being exposed
to, I didn't see what Iwhat I was was printing on paper.
(25:52):
In terms of music, it's notwhat I heard, And so I was
leading listening. Yeah, but todayI think the music writers are dead on.
So you can get it both waysmusic cheap music as well as you
know audio. So so that's that'sthat's my that's my growth. And and
so I sort of mixed with proand as I've gotten to more classical music,
(26:15):
to develop my playing, and ofcourse I have to read music for
that as well. Nice, niceMike. That's you know, I before
I pass over a lady, K, I just wanted you know, I
always admire, uh keyboard A keyboardplayer that can just listen to someone saying
and the ning and find that keyand match. That's just a gift.
(26:36):
That's it. It's certainly kind ofhere. And that's just I don't think
you can even teach that. Youknow, that's just amazing. But you
know what, you hit me.Hell, I'll give you a challenge now
because you know you got abc Dis it on the piano. I'm gonna
give you a challenge now. Ican hit some I need some notes that
(27:00):
ain't even in the alphabets because Ican't go ahead later, game go ahead.
I knew, I knew already.I was like, don't go there.
I cannot say. Uh, I'myeah, go ahead. Oh my
(27:26):
god, oh I have a question, Um, how did you meet your
wife? Oh? Oh, nowyou're talking, okay, Well my wife.
Well, first of all, myI was a roommates with her brother
(27:49):
women first number one and that wasback in my youthful days. And then
I knew her mother, uh,probably more so than even my wife at
the time. My mother was likea music coordinator for our headquarters in Seventh
Day Vendus General Conference headquarters, andso it was musical, so I have
(28:10):
to interact with it all the time. I knew I knew of her daughter.
But uh, I remember seeing thatI finally, I think I finally
began to see Donna Maria my wifeat the time, with just a student
school while her brother was there.So I knew more of a brother at
the time. But sometimes the timeI see, I see it. But
(28:30):
my years years years later, Um, I run into her, uh seeing
her, I think it was inthe airport or try and it was,
you know, traveling, and Isay hey, And I actually called her
by her mother's name because I knewher mother more than her. And then
we yeah, and so um weexchanged numbered at the time and just just
(28:51):
just so you know how friends arereconnecting and so um I was then to
come to learn that she was livingin the area of water and long story
short, uh things turned out whereI said, you know what I need
to I need to I need tolook into this young uh and uh and
(29:14):
and I knew them. I canfly well and and so I rest his
history because because we have guys overtwenty five years, over twenty five years
of friendship or relationship, so wenever got serious romantically until later in life.
So we always friends and there wasalways overs foundation, and I took
(29:37):
I took the chance, as always, I took the risk of gemandizing the
friendship to pursue as as a wife. I did. So we get best
of all. Amen. Wow,a man, Amen, amen, you
know you know him? Yeah,I me later, I'm literally keep asking
a question. But when I metmy That's that's why I came across my
(30:02):
mind. She was walking by alittle minute skirt, and my mind came
to my mind. I said,I said, I need to go look
into this. I need to go. Yeah, I need to investigate this
right here. So, man,with having the greats around you, um,
(30:26):
the great rap artists around you,how did you not get into second
yes, rap music? Yes,I was going to ask that, yes,
good question, lady k wow wowwow, well, very very good
to ask some good question. Youneed to write some from the downd um.
(30:47):
I the music is so good inchurch music, so good that I
believe it or not. I wasjust I was just not as interested into
second of music. It was somethingabout music. It was good music,
and then it was uplifting music.So words that mean something, you know,
because to get you through the day. Uh, so that and I
always felt that way, and soI and I'm thinking and I wasn't really
(31:08):
you know, it's the rap thing, you know, it's it's right,
It's just not my thing. Soright, I need something to uplift me
and something to inspire me. Andyou know, um, I have been
exposed to instrument instrumental instrumental music thatis inspirational. And so a lot of
(31:32):
times in church we sing songs thatwe sing about our misery or we sing
about you know, overcoming and it'llhave a lot of you know, there'll
be a lot of repeats in thesongs. How did you get into the
instrumental music because it can be umawkward for people that are so used to
(31:59):
the sing portion and not yeah,listening to the actual music to be uplifted.
Right, And so and I likethat because I like your question because
uh, as a as a musician, you have to be able to connect
musically. So you got to meetthem where they are music in terms of
(32:19):
music, So the songs that theylike to sing all the time, the
songs that they're familiar with. Youknow, I tried, you want to
you know, you want to startsomething that you have in common musically.
And then and so a lot oftimes I will I may even even some
of the rangers I do. Itry to do something relatable that they relate
to. And then I probably tointroduce something classical that they may not heard
(32:43):
before, and so they have itjust brings a new appreciation to the music
and the genres. And I rememberone time I did that. When I
did I did a presentation at ahigh school um years ago and uh for
assembly and if you remember how rowdyasembles used to be in high because I
was time to go, remember thatI had had a back to back of
(33:04):
family and so you know that youhave come and it's a public school and
you know, the typical two thousands. But what I would say I did
it was pretty much instrumental. Onething I noticed that I shared it with
them the music they are accustomed to, you know, playing some of the
songs that they knew, and Italked about Alicia Keys and then how she
started out classical musically, you know, classic class of music, and how
(33:30):
you know, this is what shedid, This is how she got to
where she was, to class themusic. And so by that then I
started to bring in some of thesongs which Small used to do, and
remember too Small he used to dolike the Lard's Prayer and then people gospel
blues, and then he brought theclassical. So right, so you mixed
the genres and people would appreciate notonly appreciate what you're bringing, but to
(33:51):
appreciate how it could be used withthe music they whatever they relate to.
And it's just level. Yeah,excellent. Let's excellent because our kids need
to be exposed to more than whaton the radio you know, or what
you know, what is popular onYouTube. They need to be exposed to
(34:12):
more, and I think your musicis something that exposes them to more,
opens and broadens their mind. Soyes, and that's phenomenal. My next
question for you is when you uembarked into ministry, tell us how did
(34:34):
you get into ministry? Because youhave four hands for him partner with into
a ministry. Tell us about theministry side of your music. Yes,
so it's It's sort of started outsmall, you know, it didn't was
like a big impact per se.It started out a lot of times for
(34:59):
my asking to play a little song, uh, to fill in the time
because there's no music and so andit drew from that. Literally the first
time we were getting up point becauseI wasn't no person to really get up
a front and play front the folk. I played for my personal enjoyment.
And it took one guy to RobertHenley. I will never forget his name.
(35:20):
This is Metter putting a brother onthe spot can play play a song
for me? And so I didn'thaven't been prepared or anything like that.
You know, Lord said, whatjust I do? So I'm coming to
walk into the pan. I don'tknow what I'm gonna play. It's a
lot of pressing. You played asong and the rest of his history.
So it started off small and thenand then you begin to see the blessings
of you know, lives being upliftedand by the ministry what you're doing.
(35:45):
And I mean it's a lot sometimesa lot of work, but but you
realize that the work that you're doingis for the benefits of it, for
the edification of God's body, thechurch. Yea. And so it's not
about easy living. I mean youjust just want to cruise and to take
it easy. But you know it'sit's a lot of work, a lot
of practicing. Um. You know, you got you got your day job.
(36:06):
But you know, you know,sometimes I find myself waking up in
the morning just to practice, tocompare history and so um. But that's
when so once you feel there asa calling, yeah, I always say,
Okay, I know I must respond. I mean, I can't do
anything. I'll I'll do my dayjob, but I cannot not do what
God has called me to do.And I have to put put in the
(36:28):
time to compare for and minister tothe hearts of those or listening. Oh,
absolutely great. And one moment beforeI passed the mike to RIVERMD um,
Yes, have you um seen orexperienced anyone getting healed or delivered from
your music? Wow? Yes,um, I received those two big uh
(36:57):
moments. Uh. One of myfriends told me that there was their sister
he used to visit in the hospitaland she was listening to and before she
passed, he said he was hewas She used to listen to quite a
bit. Another incident. Um,there's another person. I received a phone
call from somebody I never met before. I didn't know if she was at
(37:19):
the time, but she said,I want you to come and play at
my sister's funeral. Uh uh shepassed up, but she should listen to
your music quite a bit and uhad minister to her and I never met
her anything, and so she broughtthat, she brought us in and so
um so those those really touched me. And I said, he played.
(37:40):
But if I ever have the nerveto uh forget or be discouraged, h
and seeing you know I'm playing,I just got to remember. You know,
you know Lad is using what Iwhat I know it or not using
the ministry for for his glory.And that's that's what matters most. N

so forth. Within the other timesI'm focusing on the piano and the playing.
So it's like two different disciplines atdifferent times and different types of focus.
So okay again, m okay,okay, okay, Well, if
(41:44):
you if you ever come to Dallas, you know, oh yeah, yeah,
let let us know. We needwe need two tickets. Lady came
myself, you know. So,UM, I have another question before I
let you introduce your your website andall that. Have you? Um?
Have you or do you um?Minutes to the word like as far as
(42:08):
you know, preach or teach theworld or motivate by speaking. I ain't
away the ain't gonna behind a poople. What it's funny. I'm gonna gives
me a good segue because I dida little bit of that during the pandemic,
believing that um uh not in abig stetting but during the pandemic if
(42:28):
you remember, I mean there wasa thing called shelter Home. And what
happened was I'm not prior to that, I was not a preacher per se,
but I started. We started,my wife and I and my mother
I called Mother and Christ. Weused to come together and we had our
own sort of sort of church service, and each one, each one of
us started took turns preaching to oneanother. So I started to do more.
(42:52):
Yeah, and so this gives mea good segue to what this how
this song came about? Um soto this preaching the word think. So
one particular weekend we were not ableto come together, and I was when
my wife and I were here andmy mother in Christ was the outside of
time about two hours away. Sowe try to worship over the phone,
(43:13):
and over the phone Lord and processto do something in terms of worship,
and so came up did was saying, well, I was. I was.
We would take turns thing a phrasein adoration to God. For example,
I would say, I started bysaying, Lord, we give you
thanks for all that you have done, and then my mother in law would
say, for you are so modelous. And my wife came up after that
(43:37):
and said for the wonderful things youhave done for us. And so we
kept going in circles that way,and the Lord had just poured the holy
spur on us, and we hadwe had like an upper room experience,
and so has to do a song. That's that's exactly how it starts off
with the Lord, we give youthanks for all you've done, and so
so and so of so of along winded answer to your question. That's
(44:00):
how the ministry started from that,and then from that came the beautiful song.
A lot of the words you hearwhen you heard your crystal starts speaking
of reading the words that actually camefrom from our experience of worshiping together uh
preaching and with using you know,uh speaking the words of praise to him.
(44:23):
Amen. Amen, not do youever do you ever thing? They
um that you might be called tothat ministry also as far as as much
as the manuscript music. But theministry I'm ministering the word. I will
I will never close the door whatthe God has had Amen. Mean some
(44:49):
Amen, I love that sometimes becauseif if you put you in a position,
sometimes you have to come through andand some you know, you know,
like a ram and a thicker kindof thing you're not prepared to do,
I think, but you call forthe particular purpose and look and you
have to uh sort of do whatthat is needed for that time and place.
And so sometimes a lot of timesministry starts that way. You didn't
(45:09):
know that that you have this giftuntil you remain dormant until you're called upon,
and then the gift becomes begins tomanifest itself. So yes, so
I'm definitely open to it. Heyman, that's beautiful, and that's beautiful,
and that's that's what the Lord wantsus to be. Just be open
to him and he would take careto risk. Well, right, probably
Anderson, let me allow you nowto share with our listening audience everything about
(45:32):
you. I didn't get in touchwith you, and they can follow you
email and whatever they need to share. What if you got to shout out
to anyone, A sure shout outto my wife and my mom. Um.
So, uh, those who areinterested in probably we're under all the
major um uh digital two outlets suchas Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music,
(45:57):
iTunes and so if you want tolook me ups Felling and you can go
by my name as Jimmy Will spelledj E m U E L Anderson,
so you'll probably get a hit thatway. And the other ministry, my
wife and I actually both played atthe same on the same piano. We
call ourselves four hands with him.You can find us there as well,
so it's a number four word handsand the number four again and him.
(46:21):
So that was another ministry that weenjoyed it. So you can find us
either way. Of course you're lookingon Facebook. Reach out to me on
Facebook. I would love to hearfrom you. So you have all those
ways to reach out to us.Amen. Amen, Now, m Chris
before I pass him, pass himover to you before we get rid of
(46:43):
the clothes. Um, your wifedid she learned the same time you did.
She already knew before when y'all met. He was already at pianist and
y'all just mentioned like that, Howdid that work? Yeah, she was
very accomplished pianos even from a youngage herself. But it's once was interesting
(47:04):
that we never we were never themusical. The piano was not what brought
us together, but we just itwas just a bonus to our relationship.
It was like months and months intoour relationship Bishop before we just thought about
playing together. So we just satat the piano just sharing and having fun
is what couples to do. Andthen the birth this wonderful ministry that we
have. Awesome. Yeah, sowhat is next for you? What is
(47:31):
next? Well? Not? Well, well, believe when I was getting
back into playing the piano. Sonow I'm playing very playing various churches uh
uh uh, pulling some more classicaland the gospel uh pieces with the hymns.
(47:52):
Having done that a little while,so I am. I'm enjoying doing
that again and practicing hard and uhand so I enjoyed it very much.
So that's that's what I'm doing now. And of course sharing the ministry of
the song that we the Lord,we praise you. That was a big
project in itself, you know,getting you know, instrumentals with the orchestration
and all that. But so I'mgetting back to the back back to my
(48:14):
roots, back to the piano.And when did you release When did you
release that last song? Oh thatwas just back in October actually okay,
oh yeah, that's excellent. Whatwas that? Um? What was that
(48:37):
deciding moment on why October twenty twentytwo? Well, that was that's a
good question, because I was Iwanted to release it around my birthday,
so uh so it's like a giftto everyone else. But my birthday was
like the weekend, weekend after butI want to do it. I wanted
to do my birthday. It wasget to do it my birthday months and
(48:58):

a journey. Uh you know,there's a whole that's a whole another discussion,
but it was a it was whichjourney getting to point where where so
many players, so many individuals becamea part of that project to make that
the ministry come to the truition.So yeah, the back in October,
