About Me

Emanuel Johnson II,a native of Detroit,Mi.Son of famed local great Emanuel Johnson of Enchantment(Gloria).... His musical gifts were obvious and undeniable from an early age always beating,tapping and grooving to music.With little formal training in classical and gospel music singing and playing,Emanuel is a well known self taught musician that has excelled to professional status under the mentorship of "Antun Foster" paving the way for him to travel with and accompany Gospel legends such as The Clark Sisters,Karen Clark-Sheard,Dorinda Clark-Cole,Twinkie Clark.Along with KiKi Sheard,Anutn Foster & Chemistry and Martha Munnizzi.Also,live recording sessions with Ron Winans Family & Friends 5 and Jacky Clark-Chisholm and so many others... God's favor has shined brightly and placed him before great men.His passion is writing,producing and playing quality music that represents God & Love.Having achieved great acclaim and respect as 1 of the most sought after musicians in the city,he looks forward to accomplishing the same as a songwriter/producer while stepping out and leading his personal band,GIWU(godiswithus).Founded in 2001,GIWU who debuted with their 1st Concert/Single Release on Sept.8,07' is known for their unique,smooth and captivating harmonies,while soulful and heart felt songs that serenade Jesus our Lord,provoke people to worship and encourages,inspire and uplift's those who are in doubt.The vision of this band(ministry) is to break cultural boundaries by reaching the hearts of those old/young,black/white,rich/poor and through this ministry people experience the manifested presence of God.With their 1st single,"We Need You" being in regular rotation on local am 1340 radio,GIWU will release their debut album entitled,"God Is With Us" in early 2,008.Currently,Emanuel serves as Minister of Music at New Love Ministries and continues to offer his giftings to many local and national churches,artists and establishments. plain layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com ..
