Martin Powell (Preacher Man) of the group Priest-Hood Family is in pursuit of Ministry on a higher level with his solo project "Dedicated The Album” and is also working on a second installment entitled “Elevated” with song “My Inspiration” and self titled song “Elevated”. Born in the inner city of Memphis, TN., he didn't get consumed by negativity but arose victoriously by becoming saved by the age of 27. Called to preach at an early age, he ran from his calling until GOD came knocking at his door with a serious injury in which GOD spared his life. Started preaching at Spirit of Life Healing Wings Church at 29 years of age God began to use him in a mighty way. Martin (when he wasn't saved) liked hip hop music, but once he got saved he stopped listening to it as well as anything that sounded like it. GOD came to him convicting him saying “Whatsoever you do, do it to the Glory of GOD". He was introduced to making music by his brother-in-law Donald Hampton, in which he started to hear music from GOD and made instrumentals for a Gospel Rap group. God showed him that there are many lost listening to music and getting caught up in the world of sin and through Gospel Rap he could touch many souls as well as get opposition from the traditions of man. He answered the call by becoming one of the members of Priest-Hood Family with Donald Hampton (Black Pastor) and Thomas Stewart III (Royal-T). Priest-Hood Family began to minister in 2005 going to various places and events from Miami Fl., to Atlanta GA. to the Holy Hip Hop Awards for 3 appearances. Now Preacher Man is being called to the solo project with the intent to minister on a new level. “My Inspiration” has a video and is in rotation on 95.7FM Kingdom part mix Show with RJ Groove. PreacherMan has a New single entitled"Witness" that has been performed at open mics across Memphis.
