Capital Kings is an American Christian pop band. Jon White and Cole Walowac collaborated together while living in their hometown of Washington D.C. They formed Capital Kings by first playing in their youth group. "I Feel So Alive" and "You'll Never Be Alone" are two of their hit songs. Their success got them nominated by the Gospel Music Association for New Artist of the Year. Their debut album was released in January and entered the Billboard Christian Albums Chart in the Top 5.
Le'Andria Johnson was the season three winner of the BET gospel singing competition show Sunday Best. After her success on the show, Johnson co-wrote her Sunday Best coronation song, "I Shall Leap Into My Destiny", which topped the Billboard Gospel chart at No. 1. Johnson is the first Sunday Best contestant to win a Grammy Award for Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance. Her talent is abundant and she continues to succeed with each single and album she releases.
Latice Crawford was a contestant on season two of Sunday Best . She began singing Gospel music in her cousin's choir and hasn't stopped since. She continuously states, "I don't sing, I testify to a beat!" Since her success on Sunday Best, Crawford has been traveling, spreading the word of God across America. She also visited Ghana and West Africa where she met her husband. In January, she released her self-titled album for all to hear.
"We have put together a great night of Football, Praise and Fellowship this year," said Soul Director of Group Sales, John Tabourn. "We are definitely going to #InspireEmpowerElevate our Youth."
