Biografia
Sapp was born in Grand Rapids in Michigan, USA on 28 January 1967. He spent his childhood and teen years singing with at church with various gospel groups. In 1991 he was asked to sing with the gospel group Commissioned. He sung with the group until 1996 and appeared on three of their albums, which were called ‘Number 7’,’ Matters of the Heart’, and ‘Irreplaceable Love’. After he quit the group, he decided to establish himself as a solo artist of contemporary gospel music.
As of 2014 he has recorded seven studio albums and achieved enormous success in his genre. Whilst his music is Christian at its core, and he sings songs of worship, his music also contains crossovers with R&B and Hip Hop. His 2007 hit ‘Never Would Have Made It’ earned him his first dose of real fame as the song was a crossover of the genres. It peaked at number 14 on the R&B/ Hip Hop US chart and at number one on the US Gospel chart. The song featured on his 2007 album ‘Thirsty’ which sold over half a million copies during the time of its release, making it his best-selling album ever.
Sapp has won several awards, most notably his seven Gospel Stellar Awards and two BET Awards.

There are so many huge gospel singers out there but there is one that has to be acknowledged and that is a man who goes by the name “Marvin Louis Sapp”, who is a singer songwriter from Grand Rapids in Michigan. He is rightly so the recipient of the Best Gospel Artist of 2008 and 2010. He also received a Dove Award for Contemporary Gospel Recorded Song of the Year. Can he do it live? Of course he can! Sapp sings ever so passionately tonight with a twenty-piece gospel choir behind him. “Never Would Have Made It” is the huge hit that brings the house down. His range is so powerful, spanning 4 octaves with absolutely no problem. The audience are on their feet all the way through this song, lapping it up. Hands are in the air for this whole track, with an emotional delivery from all involved. Technically, the performance isn’t perfectly on point but emotionally, there isn’t a dry eye in the house.

I have to commend Marvin Sapp and band. His worship experience was the best I've seen in several years. Especially being disappointed recently at Fred Hammond concert. They tried to combine a play with a musical concert. I didn't like it. Sapp had the same passion he would've had if there were 2000 to 3000 people. Being the first time in Binghamton NY, and a relatively small crowd he ministered as if it was a great crowd. I was very pleased. Keep the fire burning Bishop. And thank you songkick for the heads up so I could travel 3hrs to be a part of the experience.
