Check it out in this Sheen Exclusive!
The entertainment industry has been immensely impacted due to COVID-19. Yet, we’re still celebrating and giving praise. What does it mean to you to be recognized and celebrate during these uncertain times?
It means a lot to me really and I’m really excited to be amongst Gospel Legends like Kirk Franklin, Jonathan McReynolds and more. I’m grateful and I want to be an inspiration now more than ever.
Your latest song “Pray” is definitely on repeat nowadays. What was going on through your mind when you wrote this song and decided this is what the world needs now?
I wrote the song last year in 2019, before the pandemic began. I went into the recording studio and everyone in the studio, we just became vessels of God. The funny thing is, it was not supposed to be the first single, the devil was busy and tried to fight. However, God’s timing is always perfect and on time. I believe the song is more relatable now more than ever. Praying is essential and I’m just honored to be the messenger.
What’s next for Koryn Hawthorne? What can our readers expect from you in the future?
My Album is dropping September 18th. You can definitely expect possible television opportunities and the rest hmmm…I’ll just keep to myself. (she laughs) I’m excited for what God has in store for me and for everyone to witness. Amen!
Again, Be sure to check out the Stellar Awards airing Sunday August 23, 2020 at 6pm EST on BET!
