Markeyta L. Sconiers, has over the years, developed into a highly spiritual and intellectual person. When Markeyta began singing at the age of 8, she never imagined the musical plateaus God would one day bring her to. She started her music career at True Vine C.O.G.I.C., where her great-grandfather, Supt. George Hagler, is Pastor. From there, she sang with Walt Whitman and the Soul Children of Chicago, which included singing in the White House and for President Bush. In 1994, she moved her membership to Sweet Holy Spirit Church where Bishop Larry D. Trotter is Senior Pastor. This is where Markeyta was first introduced to Praise & Worship and has served in this ministry for over 12 years. She has also been featured on two of her church choir’s CDs. Over the years, Markeyta sang with various community choirs and groups. Her voice can be heard on lead and background vocals on various CD projects. Markeyta is greatly known as one of the premier Worship Leaders in the Chicagoland area. One of her greatest accomplishments was singing background for Donnie McClurkin on Oprah.At the beginning of 2002, Markeyta lost a loved one who was very dear to her. During this time of grief, God spoke to her about her life and music ministry. He then confirmed her call to the music ministry by bringing to her remembrance Luke 14:18 - “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives…to set at liberty them that are bruised.†God let her know that her call was similar to that of a preacher, the only difference is that she would “preach†or minister through song. Thus bringing her to place she is now. April 30, 2005, Markeyta recorded her 1st Praise & Worship CD entitled, “I Will Sing.†It was released in May, 2006, by Markeyta’s music company, L’O-Key Music. Markeyta is a member of New Birth M.B. Church where her pastor is Bishop Eddie L. Long. She serves as the Director of Worship & Arts at Ray of Hope Christian Church in Decatur, GA where Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Hale is Senior Pastor. Markeyta is also preparing music for a second CD. 2008 will be a year of Markeyta making her mark in the music industry as a songwriter. She is excited about her future and knows that the worst is over and the best is yet to come.A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
Proverbs 18:16
