Pursuit: Live At Passion City Church’ that generated a historic 2 million streams in one week.

Tasha, a Gospel Music Award (GMA), Dove and Stellar Award winner for Gospel Artist of the Year has attracted crossover success, teaming with hip-hop mega star Nicki Minaj with the radio friendly single ‘I’m Getting Ready’ that debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart when it was first released in 2017. The song has garnered more than 7 million streams to date.

Since her conversion to Christianity, Minister Marion Hall, formerly Lady Saw has been winning souls for Christ globally with her powerful testimony that is both moving and entertaining. She was ordained an evangelist at the Emmanuel Apostolic Church on Slipe Road in Kingston and was baptized in 2015. In 2016 she was invited to perform in Washington, DC at the White House as part of the third annual Caribbean & African International Leadership Conference. It has been almost four years since she answered God’s call and today she remains steadfast in her commitment to him.

“It not all about me, it’s all about God,” Hall said in an interview. “I feel honored to be an ambassador for Christ. I have to give him all the glory and honor.”
