This church boy at heart has already blazed a trail working on some pretty big stages and with some of music’s most notable artists. He sings and he acts. He starred as Pastor Walker in Tyler Perry’s Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned.  

This son of a Baptist preacher and a hardworking corporate mother started a group, while acquiring his BA in Theology at Morehouse College, that appeared in the 2003 motion picture The Fighting Temptations alongside Beyoncé, Shirley Caesar, and Cuba Gooding, Jr.  

The East Point, GA, native is humbled to have shared his gift on Bravo TV’s airing of  NeNe Leakes’ wedding, where he was featured soloist in his own arrangement of “The Lord’s Prayer,” with The SEEiT Choir, of which he is Musical Director.  

After many years of training under his grandfather Cameron M. Alexander, Pastor of Antioch Baptist Church North, and his father, Rev. Zebulon Ellis, Sr., Pastor of Browns Mill PAark Baptist Church, Ellis realizes that beyond any accolade or accomplishment, he is more than a minister, artist, or musical mind. 

He is a man who has overcome defeat, abuse, misunderstanding, failure, bullying, low self-esteem, and, much like everyone else in this world, is trying to find his place in life, love, and acceptance.   

And much like the Hebrew meaning of his name, “to give honor to,” he chooses to give honor to God through his mission to share hope, and to relate, one song at a time, with those who can hear or see him as a testament to overcoming struggle and finding their destiny.   

His song will always point to something bigger than what the human experience can grasp or contain. His song will always point to love and God.
