| Description: Gospel |
| Biography: Alphonso, a native of Aulander, NC started singing Gospel at the age of 4 alongside his 2 older brothers and his mother who was playing the piano. There was no doubt in his family and anyone else who heard him that he was given a special gift, one that he would use for the rest of his life. Alphonso has been seen performing Gospel in many venues from churches to schools throughout NC, IN and NY. He has also been seen in theatres and concert halls not only performing Gospel but operas and oratorios.
Yes, Alphonso is also well known for his operatic performance. He has been seen performing in opera houses and concert halls in NC as well as other states across the country and over seas. Alphonso throughout his educational and professional experience has performed 25 different baritone/bass-baritone roles in opera and was the bass/baritone soloist in 13 different concert oratorios.
The past years has brought Alphonso closer home to be with his family in NC. While home he did not completely close the gate to his love of classical music (opera, oratorio...etc.), but to incorporate it with his other love, his 1st love, Gospel. Alphonso was led by God to begin writing songs that reflected on his own life struggles and achievements. While still performing classical music, Alphonso found time to go to the studio and record these Gospel songs on his 1st album "The Power."
