Yolanda

Yolanda Spencer was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was the 13th child of the late Bishop Sterling and the late Beatrice Spencer. The anointing of the Holy Spirit blessed Yolanda with the gift of song at a very early age. By the time she was five years old, she was singing with the adult choir at her church. At that time, she was the leader of the song entitled “I Love Him Forever.” The congregation was amazed at the strength of the young girl’s voice. Growing up, she enjoyed singing, with her family, around the house. As her gift of song began to develop, Yolanda started singing more and more. She has learned to love and cherish the gifts that the Lord has blessed her with. One of her favorite roles is to lead praise and worship service. She attends Faith Temple Apostolic Church of God (www.ftacog.org) where her brother, Bishop Jerome Spencer is the Pastor.Yolanda enjoys singing in small groups, choirs, and singing solos. She sings for various occasions. Yolanda has had the opportunity to sing with many local groups., and she is inspired by both local and national recording artists. She likes to arrange songs, and even rearrange some songs that are already recorded by other artists. Yolanda does listen to a variety of music. She tends to reach back to her roots, and often refers to hymns. What is interesting about Yolanda is that she writes and sings the songs based upon her experiences throughout life. She has often said, “There is purpose behind our life experiences. Whether the experience is good or bad, it is our duty to ask the Lord for an understanding. We need to find out what we are suppose to gain from it. It is good to share testimonies with others, so that it will encourage them. We overcome by our testimonies…”Yolanda attended the University of Cincinnati, where she completed an Associate of Arts in Pre-Business, and a Bachelor of Business Administration in the area of Marketing. During that time, she joined the African American Cultural and Research Center Choir, under the leadership of Eric Watford. When Yolanda is not singing, she enjoys reading, writing, studying God’s word, traveling, cooking, designing hair styles, and spending quality time with her family and friends. She has a burning desire to spread the word of God through singing, writing songs, acting and any other steps that are ordered for her by God. She realizes the importance of substance, and her goal is to minister the word of God.In 2004, Yolanda released a mini cd entitled, He’s By My Side. She also showcased her acting abilities in a stage play in 2004. The play was called: Troubles Don’t Last Always, and was held in the Jarson-Kaplan Theater, which is located inside of Cincinnati’s Aronoff Center. Yolanda has recently released a brand new project. This release is exciting, because she finally completed her first full cd! The title of the cd is, Beauty For Ashes. Yolanda’s music is available at: www.cdbaby.com! Each song is full of the word of God! The cd was birthed through Yolanda’s ability to endure and overcome the trials that she has been faced with. One of Yolanda’s favorite scriptures is Phillipians 4:13. She knows that she can do all things through Christ, who strengthens her. She believes in working with who and with what was given to her, by God. Yolanda wants to convey the gospel to anyone who is willing to listen.
