Gospel Dream Winner Tony LeBron will release Surrender, on March 6, 2012. Surrender, produced by Richie Pena (Natalie Grant; Babyface) with vocals produced by Anthony Evans is a collection of songs ranging from Hillsong’s “Forever Reign” to the more upbeat Latin inspired “Te Alabo” which reflects Tony’s Latin heritage. LeBron, a South Florida based worship leader and performer who was born in the U.S Virgin Islands and is of Puerto Rican descent beat out thousands of entries to win the fourth season of the talent search TV series Gospel Dream on the Gospel Music Channel (GMC).
Surrender was primarily inspired by LeBron’s recent visit to Israel, a visit that would prove to be life changing. Joining up with other fellow singers, LeBron journeyed through the Holy Land, visiting and performing at the Holy Sites. While at the Garden of Gethsamene he was inspired to re-record the #1 song by Clay Crosse, “I surrender all.”
“It was an early morning when we visited the Garden, was raining and I didn’t know what to expect. I began to recollect all that had happened there and realized that this was the place where our Savior surrendered to the Cross so that I could have Life…filled with emotion…I realized my need to surrender completely and what it meant to take up my cross and follow Him.” — Tony LeBron
LeBron’s passion for worship music and his desire to use it as a tool of service for the church has led him to tour and be a guest worship leader at various churches, most recently the Brooklyn Tabernacle. LeBron’s passion to reach out to a multi-cultural generation has resulted in him being a part of several overseas missions trips which have included Costa Rica, Peru and India. Over the years, LeBron was a member of the group TRUTH, the Promise Keepers praise team and has shared the stage with Dove Award Female Vocalist of the year Natalie Grant.
Surrender can be summed up in one statement by LeBron, “It’s only when we completely surrender where we will find life and that more abundantly”. For more information and tour dates visit www.tonylebron.com or email tony@tonylebron.com
