James Bignon’s career has exploded into a full blown Global Music Ministry serving churches, colleges and the Christian community around the world. Bignon led the 10-member ensemble of the original cast of “Riverdance” touring Ireland, United Kingdom, and Japan.
With the release of his new project “Evolution” James Bignon remains true to his core traditional Gospel audience. His musical precision, honed during his leadership as the Director of Music for the renowned Georgia Mass Choir, is evident throughout the compositions on “Evolution”. Listeners will experience the musical influences from his early beginnings, studying and working under the leadership of Reverend James Cleveland and The Gospel Music Workshop of America. In an effort to continue preserving the legacy of Gospel music’s heritage, this project includes “Peace Be Still” and “Please Be Patient With Me” which are two of Reverend James Cleveland’s greatest hits. Continuing the legacy of the incomparable Rev. James Cleveland, Bignon is well known nationwide for conducting Gospel Music Workshops.
Besides his headlining albums, Bignon has worked with the Gospel Music Workshop of America Mass Choir writing and recording such songs as, “He’ll Make Everything Alright” (1991); re-recording one of Rev. Cleveland’s greatest hits: “Lord Help Me To Hold Out” (1992), and again writing and recording “God Knows How Much You Can Bear” for a 1993 GMWA project.
His soul-stirring composition “All The Way” highlighted the 1994 Gospel Music Workshop Of America album, and his own “Heaven Belongs To You” achieved a Stellar Award nomination for Male Vocalist of the Year reaching the top 20.
James Bignon has most assuredly made a name for himself in the Gospel music industry. At the age of 5yrs old Mr. Bignon sang his first solo at historical St. John Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia where his mother was pianist. While attending Lucy Laney High School in Augusta, Georgia, Bignon formed the school’s first gospel singing group.
In 1991, James Bignon formed the Deliverance Mass Choir, an ever-evolving ensemble based in Atlanta. His debut album, “How Excellent Is Thy Name” quickly landed on the gospel charts, followed by 1992’s “Use Me.”
In 1996, “What A Mighty God We Serve” with a recording choir of 400 voices proved to be another incredibly successful project for Bignon with Atlanta International Records. His fifth release on Atlanta International Records (AIR Gospel) and his first studio project, “On The Other Side Of Through” was an immediate hit and is still being played on radio stations around the country.
The new millennium (2000) brought yet another great album and video entitled “Miracle”. In 2002 James Bignon released “God Is Great” which was recorded live in Sioux City, Iowa and remained on Billboard Gospel Charts for 26 consecutive weeks.
