Bio
Penny Tyler is a vibrant and innovative songstress, full of life and love for the Lord Jesus Christ. She also has just enough humor and wit at the most appropriate times to tickle your funny bone!
Exercising her gift of singing from a very young age, Penny sang in talent shows and with childhood friends in groups.
Loving the harmony of music at an early age, she watched intently such entertainers as Diana Ross and The Supremes, being motivated by the Motown sounds. During her early teens, started singing with the Double Rock Baptist Church (Young Adult Choir), which exposed her to such Gospel icons as James Cleveland, Mattie Moss Clark & The Clark Sisters, and Kenneth Glover--just to name a few. A vivid incident she remembers is the time she was in kindergarten and was privileged to sit at the feet of Mahalia Jackson in a full concert. At the end of the concert, on her way out Mahalia Jackson gently cupped her face with both hands and gave Penny a warm hug before leaving the school.
Some of her favorite Gospel singers are Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin and Mary Mary. She later sang with The Voices of Watts, and Mary and The Voices of Honor & Glory.
Her previous secular contributions to the music world were Man Collector and Dont Give Up, which both made Billboard and Cash Box magazine charts.
Penny currently serves as Choir Director for Ablaze Ministries/Jean Perez International Network.
