Charles Granville was born into a musical family. His family is known for their song writing skills though he is the first to sing professionally. He was discovered by Pastor Belemina T. Obunge. The Pastor, who while leading him to Christ noticed his talent and immediately created avenues for him to express it. Charles Granville founded the Anointed Voices of Emarid College while he was just 16 years of age. At seventeen, he was already the Provincial Music director of the then Rivers/Bayelsa provinces of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and led the choir to persistent victory at the annual competitions held at the Redemption Camp.He always believed that young talented people should explore their talents and make the best out of it. Hence in 2002 he founded the Shabach Foundation an NGO which was deeply involved in youth development, talent identification, coaching and mentoring, youth counselling, etc. The foundation is responsible for the discovery of most of the strongest young talents coming out from the Niger Delta.
Not withstanding his job with one of the biggest multi national oil companies in Nigeria, he still makes out time to write and release hit songs of inspiration, praise and worship to God to the admiration of his fans. His “Charles Granville Appreciation Society” on facebook has reached about 1,500 members. These members are now joining him in doing charity. They just started an initiative they called FEED A CHILD PROJECT and intend to visit orphanages and other charity homes all over Nigeria and render assistance.
This single is from the WIRED FOR GREATNESS album; this album falls within the Gospel music genre and showcases not only the rich culture and depth of the Niger-delta region of Nigeria, but also the dexterity and versatility of musical talents from such an area, infamously known for social vices such as kidnap and extortion. It boasts of 11 tracks and production prowess from the likes of K-Solo, TY-Mix, etc.
