Just as music lives in the heart of this new artist, Meshack’s heart is in his music. Tim Lofinmakin is a pastor at Temple of Praise Intl. Church and here’s what he has to say about Meshack: “As a gospel artist it is important that you are more than just a singer because of the nature and intent of the music. It is music intended to uplift and inspire listeners through the worship and praise of God. The artist themselves have to be worshippers and praisers to make it believable or inspiring to anyone else. Meshack is such a person. He is a singer/songwriter with a heart for God and humanity and the honesty of this reflects in his music.”";
