A few years later, at the age of four he was resuscitated after a four-storied building fall, while he was in Germany.[5]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Greene's music recording started in 2007, with the release, The More, that came out on December 4, 2007,[6] from Greenelight Records.[7] The subsequent release, Stretching Out, a studio album, was released on June 8, 2010,[8] by Pendulum Records.[7]

The release of Stretching Out was Greene's introduction to the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart, where it placed at No. 27.[9] Songs, "Still Here" and "Prove My Love", both charted on the Billboard Top Gospel Songs chart, at peaks of Nos. 17 and 29, respectively.[9]

Greene released an extended play, Intentional, on August 21, 2015, with RCA Inspiration, where this placed at No. 3 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart.[9] His song, "Intentional", peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Gospel Songs chart .[9]

Greene's second studio album, The Hill, was released on October 30, 2015,[10] from RCA Inspiration[7] and charted at No. 1 on the Billboard Gospel charts.

Greene's rise in the gospel genre has been reported in Billboard Magazine,[11] Rolling Out Magazine,[12] Jet magazine,[13] with performances at the Essence Music Festival,[14] Trumpet Awards and BMI Trailblazers.[15] In 2016, JET Magazine called Greene "The Future of Gospel".[13]

In 2017, Greene received criticism for his decision to perform at President Donald Trump's inaugural ball.[16]

On February 2, 2017, Greene recorded his third album Crossover: Live From Music City in Nashville, Tennessee.[17]

On March 24, 2017, Greene led the field of nominees at the 2017 Stellar Gospel Music Awards by taking home seven awards. At the awards, Greene performed a medley of "Made a Way" alongside Gospel recording artists Israel Houghton, Jonathan McReynolds and Jonathan Butler.[18]
