Urban Gospel Choir
After their recent recording at Abbey Road Studios and performances at the BAFTAs and the London 2012 Olympic closing ceremony, Urban Gospel Choir is gearing up to rock the music scene this summer. Their unique style and amazing vocals have earned this London-based group numerous performances with artists as varied as Paloma Faith, Take That, George Michael, Muse, The Who, and The Kaiser Chiefs, just to name a few.
Created out of a desire to craft a distinct sound that blends traditional gospel with soulful harmonies, Urban Gospel Choir mixes their rich vocals with a compelling visual presence. Whether backing up some of the world’s biggest stars, headlining at a famed venue in their hometown, or performing an intimate wedding gig, Urban Gospel Choir promises to bring the house down with their infectious energy and outstanding performances.
Founded by Karl Willett in 2006, the group is composed of singers from various musical backgrounds, from church singers to recording artists, bringing together some of the strongest and most versatile vocal talent in London. With extensive experience in both live and studio settings, Urban Gospel Choir's credits include collaborations with the London Symphony Orchestra, recording with renowned producer and composer David Arnold (best known for scoring three James Bond films and working with major recording artists including Bjork, kd lang, Pulp, Damian Rice), backing vocals for Paloma Faith’s latest album ‘Fall To Grace,’ and their own gospel arrangement of the national anthem for the Queen and the Royal Family at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games. Other recent projects include recording with Coldplay for the 2012 Paralympic Games and a personal invitation to perform for Boris Johnson at the Mayor’s Christmas Carol Concert.
