About Anthony Avery

Anthony Avery, age 27 is an independent gospel recording artist from Baltimore, MD. Born in Camp Springs, MD Anthony has been exposed to many different cultures, backgrounds and experiences from his time living in Albuquerque, NM as a child affording him the ability to connect his ministry to a wide variety of people. He began studying music at the age of 10. Originally trained in classical and musical theatre it was in his teenage years upon returning to Maryland, that he was fortunate enough to learn under the leadership of some great names in gospel music including Brent Jones, Ernest Pugh, Keith Williams, and Dr. Wesley Boyd an original Richard Smallwood singer who first introduced him on a serious level to music ministry. It was during this time he saw himself grow exponentially in his relationship with God. As an adult, Anthony sang with various groups, choirs and artists most notably he sang as a member of world renown Morgan State University Choir where he studied music and also as the director and co-founder of Voices of Praise Gospel Choir based out of Morgan State University from 2007-2015. Anthony believes that all are able to receive inspiration, guidance, healing and most importantly the love of God in their life. Having spent most of his own life "learning by living" he has found a very unique message and ministry that hits close to home with powerful lyrics and an eclectic sound. He strives to reach all Christians including those that don't quite fit the mold of your traditional church member or worshiper. He continues to believe that music is but one of many tools God uses to reach his people and just like God, music has no limits to what it can do for the body of Christ. In 2015 he debuted his first single “calling out to you” a powerful anthem of reaching out to the lord when he speaks to you. The success of that was followed by the award nominated album Breaking Free in 2016 which included a varied collection of sounds and messages from the contemporary gospel to neo-soul and rock influence. His music stand outs as being carried by the message with his lyrical content receiving much critical praise from many. When ask what inspires his writing Anthony shared that he simply allows God to use his emotions and experiences to encourage others who may have been in similar positions. Anthony continues to dedicate himself to being a beacon of light and clarity in a dark and clouded world.
