Blessed with one of the most "soulful" voices of music today, Ivyia's instrument continues to echo through the gospel industry.

Formerly of O'Landa Draper & The Associates, Ivyia debuted her natural soprano voice on the 1990s hit "Keep Me, Jesus" on the Word/Epic release "Do It Again." She recorded and released several songs under Draper's ministry, including "It Is Well," "Use Me," and a heart-felt duet with him called "Hold On." Her voice can be heard on the( 1993) Civil Rights Museum album, rendering the acclaimed last requested and favorite song of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. before his death, "Precious Lord (Take My Hand), " narrated by Dr. Benjamin Hooks (NAACP). http://www.ivyia.com
