In 2013, Zack Smith from Toccoa, Ga., joined the group at age 19. Zack’s dad, Tony Smith, has been the person he most admires. He tells us, “I would like to be skinny,” and if he wasn’t singing he would be a chef. Asked about his most embarrassing moment, he says, “I was singing and I went to raise my hand and dropped the mike, throwing it out into the audience. Thank God it didn’t hit anyone.”
when they were the winners out of 250 artists and were invited to sing on the main stage. They are scheduled to sing in the Power Hour at this year’s NQC. They have had six top 80 songs on the Singing News charts, which include “The Waiting Room,” “Gone, Gone, Gone” and “He’s All The World to Me.” They are finishing up a new project – It’s Time to Walk on Water – which is also the title of the group’s current radio single.
Zack is also a caretaker and helps care for his grandmother. Debra stated that her most embarrassing moment was when they were singing to a packed house and a man got up and started walking toward the altar. Debra assumed he was coming to pray, but when he got to the altar, he turned and started back up the aisle. She thought he was in the spirit, and she said into her mic, “Walk it out, brother.” He sure did. He walked right out the door.
As Debra Perry and Jaidyn’s Call continues to travel, ministering to lost and hurting people, they each have a special Bible verse that encourages them on the way. Zack says, “John 16:33 because it’s a promise that even when we go through trials while here on earth, that God is always with us.”
“I could have crawled under that church, because I thought he was having a spiritual moment,” says Debra. “Then, I noticed chairs had been placed in the back of the church, and there was no way to exit other than coming up front.”
Debra points out, “This verse is my favorite because when you lose your loved ones to heaven, it makes you want to be there! Revelation 21:4 KJV, ‘And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.’”
Debra Perry and Jaidyn’s Call has sung in the showcase at National Quartet Convention several times, including 2012
Chris shares, “Romans 8:28 because not everything is good, but God works it out for the good to those who love God.”
