"I've heard quite a few great sax players in Hampton Roads - pure gospel, pure jazz and mixed genres. I love gospel and love jazz music and this lady might not have the acclaim of local or national music critics, but if God needed a sax player - I think He would call Saint Coco!" - Nathan M.

Gayla Robinson is a passionate singer/songwriter who recognizes the power and responsibility that comes with being an artist and performer. So it should come as no surprise that as an artist she is motivated by injustice, not just the injustice from social ills, but also the injustice people create for themselves by making poor choices. Seeing and understanding this dichotomy inspires Gayla to write songs about the unspoken; the undercurrents that people don't know how to articulate or opt to not express. 
Hope Askew hails from Hampton Roads, Virginia where she worships at Second Calvary Bapstist Church. Her music ministry has a unique sound and the delivery of that ministry is an electric, fun and intensly poured out affair of her heart. Whether listening to one of her CD's or watching her live on stage, you can clearly feel the freedom and joy she lives with. 
Saint Coretha Holland aka "Saint Coco" started playing music with the saxaphone in the 6th grade because her mother suggested she join the band. Meanwhile, at home her father was teaching her to play the drums. All throughout high school she played in the marching band and played the congos and bongos. After graduating from high school, Saint Coco came to know God. Playing the saxaphone for the glory of God helped her realize and improve her gift in music. Today Saint Coco's unique style of gospel and inprovisational jazz touches the souls of people all over Hampton Roads. She is available to play for occasions such as weddings, parties, banquets, church programs, for the sick and shut in, as well as funerals.
