The vocal tracks may sound a bit distorted, unfortunately they were recorded with wireless mics and the Gain levels were a bit higher than what they needed to be. Not much I could do to fix it. Hope you can still enjoy the Live performance!!
I had such a good time playing and MD'ing for Easter 2023 at Abounding Grace Ministries (AGM). Pastor Chad Brown led us into an amazing rendition of a John P. Kee classic "Jesus is Real"!!! By far the funkiest, most exciting musical Easter I've had so far!!! Hope you enjoy.
I don't own any copyrights for the music we covered in this live rendition. Therefore I will not be monetizing this video, unless approved by copyright holder for revenue share.
BAND:
Nikko Ielasi: Keys, MD, Stems.

First thing I noticed is the smile on his face playing. That's genuine joy, let alone of the skill and precision of the band. This was a joy to watch

As a former head musician of a full church band, I fully appreciate how well you are leading your band! I wish the places I've played had thought of this set up where only the musicians can hear you in that mic and you can call out the chord changes. Awesome leadership in ministry!

I actually had a chance to talk about this with John P Kee, this video went viral on social media and he connected with me. He appreciated our humility in simply delivering the song in the powerful yet clean way it's supposed to be delivered. When the music is already written that well, there's no point in changing it too much or trying to show off over it. Just let the song speak for itself. I'm happy it spoke to you. Thank you for your kind words!!
