Biography: Distinctive Praise
Ivory Coast Records Premiere Gospel Singing Group

On their Ivory Coast Records debut CD, First Fruit, the Chicago-based gospel group Distinctive Praise, unveils a project filled with heartfelt, harmony-laden Christian/Gospel music that combines joyful exuberance with praise and worship.

Distinctive Praise’s tight-knit chemistry is apparent throughout First Fruit, which was produced by noted recording artist Michael Manson and consists entirely of the group’s original compositions. Their effortless harmonies and seamless instrumental rapport are prominent on the album.

The members of Distinctive Praise have been making music for much of their lives, where they developed their own musical vision that was free of the influence of musical trends. They grew up in families that were both musically inclined and church-oriented.

“We were all a little naïve when we started, and we didn’t know anything about the music industry,” KC Fortenberry notes. “But there’s always been a natural progression. From the start, there’s always been a series of little things that kept us motivated, and made us feel like we have something good going on over here.”

When the time came to record First Fruit, Distinctive Praise found a sympathetic ear in Michael Manson. Manson kept everything organic and real. He was very respectful of the group’s ideas and was very supportive and careful not to step on anybody’s toes. He seemed more interested in capturing the true essence of the group rather than imposing his own agenda.

The final project offers ample evidence of Distinctive Praise’s powerful musical bond. “We want it to last,” Fortenberry concludes. “Of course, we want to be successful. But if that didn’t happen for us, that wouldn’t stop us from making music for the Lord, because it’s what we love and is what keeps us going.”
