Cynthia Jones

Cynthia Jones, Grammy and Stellar Award nominee and two time Prestige Award winner, is Kingdom Records Lady of Soul; she is the powerhouse that packs a powerful message, leaving a lasting infectious impression throughout the gospel and mainstream music industry.
Her neo-soul style of gospel music has reached souls from all walks of life, connecting her outside of the church walls with an audience that didn't yet know they like gospel music, until now.
Since the release of GOTTA SOUL in April 2008, major television networks, radio and magazines have been intrigued requesting interviews and special guest appearances and performances from this anointed lady of soul that sports a big red fro.  

Cynthia has appeared on TBN, BET, TV One, The Word Network, and has graced the pages of top Gospel Magazines and E-zines, including Gospel Today, TCP, The Belle Report and the national mainstream magazine Sister 2 Sister. 

The Raleigh, North Carolina native is the daughter of a minister, an active member of the Upper Room Church of God in Christ, under the leadership of Supt. Dr. Patrick L Wooden Sr.  She also serves on the Board of Directors of “Passage Home” which is an organization that provides housing for families in transition between homelessness or incarceration to self-sufficiency.

Cynthia  has nurtured a national following from performing on some of Gospel's major tours and concerts such as the "Hero Tour" featuring Kirk Franklin, "The One Church Tour" featuring Smokie Norful, the "Night of Praise and Worship Concert" featuring Fred Hammond and Martha Munizzi and most recently 89.5FM All White Affair in Toronto Canada,  The Annual Multi Fest in West Virginia,  Urban Network Summit in LA, and sharing the stage with her label mates, the certified gold Praise and Worship Choir, Shekinah Glory Ministry for the 2008 Barbados Awesome Gospel Fest in Barbados, 2008 CIAA with John P Kee, and CeCe Winans, which requested her to return in 2009 to at the 2009 CIAA Tournament "Gospel Soulabration" in Charlotte, NC.  Her music has been graciously received by the Christian community of neo soul music lovers who appreciate not having to compromise lyrically and by NABFEME (National Association of Black Female Executives in Music & Entertainment) Women Who Jam, but most of all, as stated earlier, Cynthia’s music has manage to reach some that have turned away from God and the church but are now starting to embrace gospel music again.

When the “Gotta Soul” single from the “Gotta Soul CD” was released, it debuted as one of the most requested songs on the R&R Charts, climbing an unprecedented 30 spots to #44 within one week after entering at #74 on the BDS Chart for the reporting period ending on February 24, 2008.  Following the successful release of the “Gotta Soul” CD on April 29, 2008, it debuted at #41 on the Gospel Billboard Chart during the first week of release.

It’s not hard to see why “Gotta Soul” is so gripping, all it takes is one time to listen, that’s it, to see what makes her and her music so powerful, thought provoking, and converting to the heart, mind and soul of listeners from all walks of life.
