THE ANOINTING
|
Written, Directed, Filmed and Edited by Keithron Powell
Starring Keithron Powell as "Tyrone" Filmed in 2004 with a borrowed computer and camera, some folk with vision and a budget of $200, The Anointing became a bit of a classic in Jacksonville, Florida. As a fan of Martial arts movies and of course The Matrix, this was an attempt to see if we could make what could've been the very first purposefully filmed Christian Martial Arts movie. Yes, we spoofed The Matrix and had a lot of fun doing it.
I hope you enjoy. |

The Independent Gospel Artist Radio Alliance was created to make things easier for independent artists to get distribution and radio play. Beginning with Digital Distribution we moved into Radio Distribution with more than 400 internet radio stations eventually securing a deal with more than 10,000 terrestrial radio stations.
IGARA started providing other services through relationships including music video production, website hosting, ticket sales, artist bookings, concerts, venue insurance, healthcare, the Radio Alliance Awards and more. At its height, IGARA had 200 artists.  CLICK TO ENLARGE

The Radio Alliance Awards
|
The Radio Alliance Awards celebrated independent Gospel artists. The voting was done not just by the public but by the radio stations that actually played their music. This gave the Radio Alliance Awards validity as the votes of the public were weighed alongside what Radio Stations could take from their audience data.

Who is Keith?
Keithron Powell was raised in Detroit, MI. He began playing the drums at age 16 and the piano at age 18. Keith received a few lessons from his pastor on piano and six months later he started a youth choir at the church that performed two songs by the late Pastor Timothy Wright. After the choir performed his pastor told him that he could maintain the choir but he said, "You have to write all original praise and worship music. I don't want anything from the Top 40 Gospel Charts." From there Keith composed two songs. One was titled "Holy Lord." When asked about the song he says, "I am so shocked to learn that after twenty plus years there are people that still remember that song. When we did that song, the church went into worship and I didn't notice at first because I was so focused on playing the right notes; but when I looked up I was just amazed and humbled." He jokingly says, "After that, I just knew I was going to start receiving Grammy's."
After moving to Jacksonville, Keith composed a song for the Potter's House International Ministries called "Glory and Honor" which was featured on their CD project, "Yes, He Lives!" He also started an A capella singing group called, Prayz Unlimited, in 1999, that performed original songs as well as songs by Earth, Wind and Fire and Take 6. Additionally, Keith began doing stand up comedy for a while then went on to produce his own cable television show called, Totally Gospel Music Videos. In 2003, while serving as drama ministry leader, Keith wrote, produced, directed and starred in a stage place called, "The Prophecy". The play was performed in front of more than 4,500 people and was so successful that people are still presently talking about the play. After the success of "The Prophecy" Keith decided to write, produce, direct and star in his first film, "The Anointing." "I think the good thing for me was that I hadn't been told that I couldn't or shouldn't do the things that I aspired to do. I didn't have those limitations on me, so for me it's not work, it's just fun." The Anointing was filmed using a borrowed computer and camera with a budget of $200.
Keith would go on to start a production company, two radio stations iGospel Music and iGospel Word and the Independent Gospel Artist Radio Alliance (IGARA) later known as Indie Music Makers, which helped independent artist with their careers. He has produced CD's for Coretta McQueen, and his former wife Teresa Tyree. Coretta's title song "Freedom" has been featured on both the Steve Harvey and Yolanda Adams' Morning Shows. Keith has written and continues to write jingles, intros/outros for radio and television for numerous companies and ministries, as well as songs for other artists and play wrights. In addition to being a musician he is also a self-published author with 12 books to his credit. Keith also pastored Victory In Praise Outreach Ministries, in Jacksonville, FL, from 2009-2016.
Keith has revisited his work on "The Prophecy" and has redeveloped and refined the play by adding 23 original songs and making some adjustments to the overall play. These adjustments have caused the play to grow to another level and has morphed into a Broadway style production.
When asked who are your musical influences: "Being from Detroit I could give the stock answers from gospel and R&B like Fred Hammond or Stevie Wonder but honestly there isn't just one or two. As of late, I've been really feeling Herbie Hancock, Michael Buble', and Harry Connick Jr. I mean I am into all sorts of music - jazz, gospel, classical, rock, pop, latin but if I had to answer who had the biggest influence on me I would have to say Take 6. For me they were my music college. I stopped listening to everything once I got that first CD. Because of them I began to listen to music differently. I am also a fan of George Gershwin and the old ragtime feel. I try to be a well rounded musician. I do know that I couldn't write for plays if I didn't listen to all styles. I think being a drummer first helps too because I can usually understand the style rhythmically."
Now, Keith is a Youtube Influencer reviewing drums and other studio equipment for companies all of the world. His music is on every platform. There is more coming and Keith is excited to be a creative doing what he does best.
