Minister of Music
_ As David lifted up the Lord and exalted God to be the highest, he was called The Chief Musician, and then a man after God’s own heart. So then, a young man named Martin Christie, known as “MC,” “The Master,” and “The Maestro,” was called by God to the music ministry. He was born in London, England, grew up in Kingston, Jamaica, and exploded in his music ministry in Brooklyn, New York. He’s been sought after by some of today’s new, uprising, and major artists. Also an entrepreneur in the music industry, he wears many hats: a musician, songwriter, producer, also promoter, CEO and President of Major Chords and SRO. He seeks not to promote his own ability but to gain higher heights in God and to deify the body of Christ, knowing that because of God’s grace, there is no limit. Finally, some of today’s new, upcoming and major artists that “MC” has worked with are: God Father of Music-Pastor Timothy Wright, Bishop Townsley and Light House Concert Choir, Bishop Hezekiah Walker, Bishop Albert Jamison, Chairman of the Board &Pres of ENYC Chapter of GMWA, Professor David Bratton & Spirit of Praise, Professor James Hall and Worship & Praise, Stephanie Mills, Pastor Derrick Roberts and The Gospel Soul Children Of NY, Regina Bell, Pastor Shirley Caesar,Queen Esther Marrow & the Harlem Gospel Singers,Min.
