There is a time for
everything….
Beginning in 1996 in the basement of Carlos Scott, a
minister hailing from Louisiana, and four other ordinary,
yet gifted men from God created a melody of gospel sounds to
perform for their local congregation. They were simplistic
and harmonious sounds accompanied by dulcet piano chords.
Carlos and Herschel McLemore, a native of Florida, knew what
they wanted to see, but reality seemed distant. Prayers were
answered cultivating shades of
hope, light, and vision. Affectionately, known as "The
Brothers" with original member Carlos Scott and Dijon
Anderson, Atlanta Georgia continued to be crusaders for the
Lord. Since then, they have relocated, marriages have
formed, children born, and God has brought in and molded a
new breed of men.
"Shades of Vision" formerly "The Brothers" amplified into a
group of five euphonic singers with the addition of tenors
Frankie Nelson from Norfolk, Virginia and Nykee Hider, a
native of Washington, D.C. and baritone-hailer Eugene
Phillips from Bronx, New York. These God-fearing men has
graced the earth land and has been moved by the Holy Spirit
to sing the praises of the Lord from New York to South
Carolina and as far as California while performing in many
local events, churches, festivals and national concerts.
SOV, consisting of Carlos Scott, Frankie Nelson, Nykee
Hider, Eugene Phillips and Dijon Anderson, continue to
produce a rich sound of harmony and flair while continuing
to put the message of “the true meaning of life” into the
hearts of many. This exciting group of men all comes from
various backgrounds; yet, collectively, they are ministers
in the musical realm pulling out all stops convincing men
and women to follow Christ. Their chemistry is evident on
stage and their personalities are just as inviting. They
cultivated simplistic songs with a fragrant blend of gospel,
hip-hop, R&B, magically going between instrumentation and
acappella while influencing our day and time as “Shades of
Vision.”
