American gospel singer JoZee says that, amid the challenges facing the world today, the word of God and His message remain as relevant as ever.

“As cliché as it sounds, Jesus is the answer. He is our source of stability in an unstable world. He is the hope for the hopeless,” she said, noting a shift in spiritual awareness. “I am watching people become way more Christ-conscious now than I’ve ever seen before. People need to know how much Jesus loves them and how He’s waiting to rewrite their story and give them peace in their hearts.”

JoZee, who began performing at age nine, is married to a Jamaican and divides her time between Jamaica and the United States. More than a decade ago, she walked away from secular music at the height of a promising career. She had been personally signed to Quincy Jones’ Quest label, distributed by Warner, and recorded background vocals for major acts including Whitney Houston, Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias.
