~ Truly.... Music with meaning and a message ~

Douglas L. Hills' style is... easy yet jazzy - stretching from Contemporary Christian, to Hip-Hop/R&B influences and (again) jazz with thoughtful, catchy, and colorful lyrical content. Checkout his hit singles:
"I'LL BLESS THEE" - also -
"I FEEL IT NOW" - and -
"KEPT AN EYE"
*
These singles are dynamically different, yet genuine & poignant; driving home a strong message of faith in God.
The artist is quoted as saying,
"I'm God-raised and don't know where I'd be without my Father to guide me! I always pray He just keeps His hand on me - as I hold fast to Him!"
*
Shortly after the cd's release, Douglas also contributed to and participated in the Sarasota, FL (2004 'Gospel Awards' fighting Cancer) - not even a year after losing his own mother to Cancer. Again, sharing his faith & trust in God!
