The Supreme 7 was formed in July of 1995 under the leadership of Antwione K. Peterson and Marcus A. Allen. Members included Demetrius Starling, Hason Johnson, Willis Harris, Lamont Murphy, Xavier Brand, and David Moore. The Supreme 7 attributes there interest in music to their parents and many groups that paved the way.
In 1999 the Lord took the group in a new direction. While Antwione Peterson was playing for the Gospel Keynotes he was led to approach Corey Young and Kevin Thompson, who at the time were members of the Fantastic Violinaires. He asked them to join him and the Supreme 7 to help them do great work for the Lord. The Supreme 7 represents the best of the past and present in gospel music. A multi-talented group that has remained steadfast.
In 2002 a young man named Stephen Walden, former musician for James Bolton of the Bolton Brothers joined the group. Once again God ordered them in a new direction. But emphasizing every step they made, they put God first and He elevated them higher and higher.
The Lord has blessed the group recently with two more young men who are willing to lift up the name of Jesus.
They are Justine Manning and Chris Bailey.
The Supreme 7 have always kept God as the heart and soul of their life and music.
The Lord allowed the Supreme 7 to have some great times while ministering for Him. They won numerous awards such as the American Gospel Quartet award, and the Luther Barnes Classic award. But there have been some obstacles in their way, and they realize that there are many more to come. But through Christ, they can do all things.
The question has been asked on several occasions, why are you all called the Supreme 7 when there are normally 6 people performing? Our response to them is God is always with us wherever we go. He saved us and united us together. And He will always be the head of our ministry. So we feel with Him being in charge we are complete. The number 7 signifies completion, so we believe this name would be very appropriate.
The Supreme 7 high energy remains, showcasing their songwriting skills and superb arranging as well as their vocals and striving to keep it in their future.
The current members include Mr. Antwione Peterson, Mr. Corey Young, Mr. Kevin Thompson, Mr. Steven Walden, Mr. Demetrius Starling, Mr. Justine Manning, and Mr. Chris Bailey. We are a group of young men who ask for your prayers that we will be able to please God, the source from which all blessings flow throughout the world. We are learning everyday when the devil tries to attack us to “leave it in the hands of the Lord”. We know “He has all power in His hands”! |
