Worship Leader | www.antonialawrence.com

For Antonia, music is about service — to God and to those whose lives might be changed by the power of a song. Every note is given freely, with nothing asked in return other than a willingness to open one’s heart and listen. It is the most generous of gifts, and the easiest to receive … because singing came to Antonia only after her own heart had opened to God. Its value lies not in the promise of fame, but in its power to touch others as it has touched her.

Antonia has a unique multicultural background. She was born in Manchester, England, her parents are from Jamaica and she was raised in Canada. She enrolled into Oral Roberts in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and this is where her ministry began and where she discovered the gift God had given to her. As Antonia grew in the knowledge of God, so did her talent as singer, songwriter and worship leader. 
Her music reflects her multicultural background through the diversity of styles, mixed with lyrics that capture God word for today’s generation. On every track on her CD, Free To Be Me, she displays her range of style from Hip-hop, silky R&B ballads, sophisticated jazz, and reggae, Antonia’s brilliantly expressive original songs, brings an ever-present spirit of praise, worship, and celebration. Antonia has worked with such producers, as David Sanguinetti, Jody Mayfield, and Mark Sandiford. Many people have been inspired by the joy and freedom to express worship and praise to God; as well as the comfort that Antonia’s music provided in difficult times.

Antonia has worked with some of the leading artists in the field, such as Ron Kenoly, Alvin Slaughter, LaMar Boschman, Darlene Zchech of Australia, Isreal Houghton, Babbie Mason, and lead worship for events such as Reinhart Bonke Crusade in Atlanta; Anne Graham Lotz, ;John Maxwell’s Women’s conference, “Thrive”. . She has been a regular teacher and worship leader at the Worship Institute in Dallas, TX and many different worship and women’s conferences. Antonia has recorded six projects over the years. Her aspiration is to communicate the message of Christ through a cross-cultural style of music and to bring a unity in Christ as we join together with believers of many cultures to worship the Lord.

Her latest project “Global Hallelujah” includes a live DVD/ CD recorded at Victory World Church in Norcross, GA. With original songs and energetic praise and worship, the purpose of this project is to ignite a passion for worship and missions, the calling of every believer.
