Gabriel Bello- BIOGRAPHY Soul infused, R&B, jazz, and hip-hop with a POP twist. Gabriel's story doesn't quite go like the rest. He was born into a musical family in Lawrence, MA, Gabriel Bienvenido Bello (Man of God welcomes beauty).
Gabriel's family relocated in his youth to the quiet college town of DeLand, FL. Here he spent most of his young adult life singing in church choirs and learning to play the saxophone. He was accepted at Lee University in Cleveland, TN and began a promising career in music. While attending college, he was feeling sick one day and was shocked to find out from his doctors that it was more serious than he had thought. Gabriel was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease (lymphoma) and had to leave school in order to endure six months of chemotherapy. In the midst of his treatment he was invited to play for Ron Kenoly, during this event he was miraculously healed and has been in remission ever since.
Gabriel continues his pursuit of music in all its forms: producer, songwriter, vocalist, programmer, saxophones, keyboards, flute, drums, guitar and he arranges vocals and instruments. He has worked in and produced almost every musical style from hip-hop to bluegrass. Gabriel has performed with Alvin Slaughter, Gary Oliver, Ron Kenoly, Geron Davis, Christ Church Choir, Jentzen Franklin, and Rascal Flatts just to name a few. Gabe's musical influences include Michael Jackson/Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Brian Mcknight, Tower of Power, Grover Washington Jr., Fred Hammond, John Willams and many more. Gabriel was in the top two (out of 13) for the position of Musical Director of American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's first tour and was interviewed for the Kellie Pickler MD position, again among the top two in consideration. Gabriel has also produced several number one records. His first self-titled album will be released in 2011. Stay tuned for more!

Biography of Pastor James R Adams and the Abounding Life C.O.G.I.C. Mass Choir & Musicians: Pastor James R. Adams is the Founder and Pastor of the Abounding Life Church Of God In Christ located in Posen, Illinois, a suburb located about 20 miles south of Chicago, Illinois. The church seats over 2100 parishioners. Pastor Adams has been preaching over 45 years and has been a Pastor for over 30 years. He believes and is always conscious of the fact that God has called him to be a preacher even from birth. He is gifted and anointed of God in the area of music. He has written and/or rearranged over 200 songs to date and excited about his new projects. When he was eight years old, Pastor Adams sat in the rear of the church during an anointed revival service and noticed a woman playing the piano. He prayed to GOD and Said, “LORD, IF YOU BLESS ME AND TEACH ME TO PLAY THE PIANO, I WILL PLAY FOR YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.” to the amazement of his family and friends, he was playing the piano within two weeks. He later received formal training on several different instruments and has actually played more than ten instruments in his lifetime. Music always has been and always will be his passion. In addition to his instrumental gifts, he has written and/or arranged more than 100 songs to date. Pastor Adams and choir have been very active in the “foreign fields” for the last eleven years. In July of 1999, he traveled to London England with more than 100 choir members, musicians and supporters. Continued on next page:
In October of 2000, Pastor Adams, along with approximately 100 choir members, musicians and supporters toured three cities in Japan. Pastor Adams preached three (3) times and four (4) concerts were performed. The Lord saved, healed and blessed many, and the people of these cities are yet expressing the residual effect of this tour. In June of 2005, the Japanese government and the convention bureau invited Pastor Adams and the Abounding Life C.O.G.I.C. Mass Choir & Musicians, to Hiroshima, Japan to tour and give concerts. He, along with his choir and musicians, were invited back to Osaka, Japan. Pastor Adams and the Abounding Life Church Of God In Christ were blessed to “break ground” for a 2,800+ seat sanctuary and multi-facility church building in December 2004. Construction began in September of 2005. The edifice was completed and the grand opening took place in November 2007. The pastor has surrounded himself with amazing musicians and an awesome choir who are proud to present the 2011 CD-Release Entitled: Pastor James R. Adams and the Abounding Life C.O.G.I.C. Mass Choir & Musicians ‘Times of Refreshing’’. This anointed music is uplifting and a source of healing and deliverance. Because of their awesome talent & a very successful single, "Times of Refreshing Radio", they were invited to perform at the national C.O.G.I.C. conference 2010 in St. Louis, MO and are very much looking forward to performing at gospel festivals and like minded churches throughout the United States in 2011.
