Rev. Lennie Swearingen has worked in the entertainment industry as a Promoter, Tour Manager, Stage Director, Artist Manager, & Booking Agent. During his years in Gospel Music he has worked with some of the top recording artists, including Jessica Simpson, Glenn Jones, Adina Howard, Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribbett, Edwin Hawkins, and Yolanda Adams to name a few. He has booked concerts and tours around the world including booking the longest running Christian Show in Disney history when he booked, promoted, and managed the Harlem Gospel Choir at Disney's MGM's Studios doing three shows a day for twenty seven days during the Christmas season in 2007.
Always active in the community Mr Swearingen and his wife Sabrina started the annual Choirs of Fire Benefit concerts in 2005. This annual Benefit concert has raised thousands for charity's like the United Way, Metropolitan Ministries, and Somebody Cares Tampa Bay.
After years of suppling the premier artists and choirs with the best gospel singers in the world Rev. Swearingen went in prayer in November of 2008 and decided to use his contacts and resources to put together a World Class All Star Gospel Choir (Angelic Voices of Praise) that would truly represent the talent and professionalism in Gospel music. So on Jan 11th 2009 the Angelic Voices of Praise was born when they performed their inaugural promotional video shoot under the direction of Recording Artist Tommy Jones Jr and RAnthony with special guest Judy Peterson. The All Star ensemble that is Angelic Voices of Praise combined with his extensive experience in combining talent management, theatrical production & fund raising is the perfect match.
Rev. Swearingen's faith and commitment to God is first and foremost in his life along with his family. He is currently a member of the New Destiny Worship Center in Clearwater Fl.
