Sainted Trap Choir is a musical ensemble from Charlotte, North Carolina founded in 2020 by friends and creative collaborators DJ Fannie Mae and musician and bandleader Dennis Reed Jr.[1] Both Mae and Reed describe Sainted as a bridge between southern gospel church culture and hip-hop/trap music, combining high-energy vocal harmonies, choreography, and contemporary sound.[1]
Background
[edit | edit source]Reed had the idea to create a choir that blended trap music with traditional gospel music after seeing artist 2 Chainz perform with a choir.[2] Sainted Trap Choir's first performance was held at The Underground, in Charlotte, NC in February 2020.[3]
Members
[edit | edit source]Co-founder Fannie Mae is the official DJ for Charlotte FC soccer club.[4] She also hosts regular DJ and music-themed events in Charlotte and in other cities, including her trademarked "Fannie's Hang Suite." Dennis Reed, Jr. is the founder of the youth-centered Charlotte-based nonprofit Inspire The Fire[5] and also served as the Musical Artist-in-Residence for the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture's 50th anniversary.[6]
America's Got Talent
[edit | edit source]In 2022, Sainted Trap Choir competed on the NBC television talent show, America's Got Talent and made it to the semifinals.[7] In 2024, Sainted returned to AGT spinoff, America's Got Talent: Fantasy League where they made it to the finalist round before elimination.[8]
