Jai Reed's much anticipated album "Anointed For Purpose" is now in stores.  Released on Fontana/TLR Entertainment, the album is a mixture of Praise & Worship with a taste of R&B flavor that offers something for everyone.  Currently you can see Jai Reed performing on the Bobby Jone's Gospel Hour, the New Orleans Jazz Festival and his video is playing on a variety of shows nationally.

The New Orleans's native is referred to by many as "The Messenger" and has one of the most profound voices of this time. His voice transcends ethnicity and class, with a style and sincerity in delivery that cuts across geographic boundaries.

Al Hobbs of the Stellar Gospel Music Academy has this to say about Jai Reed, "We live in a season when the next generations of singers are emerging all across the gospel music landscape.  Most are good, many are excellent and if you keep listening, every now and then one comes along that is not just a singer but an artist. Today that artist is Jai Reed".  He goes on to say, "One listen to his debut album and you 'll be in awe of his amazing vocal capabilities; his fresh styling, his musical arrangements but, most of all you'll experience the in dwelling of the holy spirit as each song reveals the depth of his love for the king of kings. Jai Reed sings and the kingdom is blessed!"

Jai began sharing his voice with friends and family at the tender age of six. By the time he was a teenager, Jai became a member of the group Endurance; along with group members William Maxwell, Bryon Pierce (Men of Standard), Edward West (Collage) and the late Michael Robinson. He has toured with two outstanding stage plays: Michael Matthew's production of "Mama I'm Sorry" and Tyler Perry's "I Know I've Been Changed". He has shared the stage with artists such as Shirley Murdock, A Woman's Point of View and Let There Be Love (Electra Records), Melba Moore, Lean On Me & Lift Every Voice and Sing, David Preston; Two Wrongs Don't Make It Right, Don't Say No and Can I?(Geffen Records). Jai is very pro-active in his gospel community, and is the founder of  the nationally known annual conference, "Praise, Worship and the Word".
