EmpoweredByOne is a new music ministry movement founded by physician, Dr. Warren King, in 2017. The ministry collaborates with various vocalists to create a series of themed ‘EmpoweredBy...’ EPs that explore different topics of the Christian faith through musical expression. The aim of the ministry is to enhance the worship experience of believers, as well as bring a deeper understanding of the topics.
Warren has been involved in music for the past 25 years. He was a member of UK Gospel group ‘All ‘Bout Christ (ABC)’ who is best known for their popular track ‘I’m Letting Go’ released in 2010. He has also been a bass player in Bazil Meade’s London Community Gospel Choir (LCGC), played for Michelle Williams at Big Church Day Out 2017, and has played for multiple mainstream artists including Shaggy, Blue, and the Sugar Babes.
In addition to being a doctor and an instrumentalist Warren is also a song-writer and producer.
The EmpoweredBy team released their first project, ‘Empowered By Christmas EP’, in December 2017 which also featured vocals from Rachel Francis-Nweke.
Throughout 2018 EmpoweredByOne aim to release more EPs and host worship events that showcase their artists.
