Artist description Anointed is this most accurate way to describe Mark Allen Felton’s gospel debut album, Gospel Stroll. Felton draws on a wealth of influences from smooth jazz, gospel, and r&b. Mark has crafted an album that explores an endless range of promise and potential...lyrically, musically and personally. As a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and self-producer, his work is at once accomplished and, yes, anointed. Deeply rooted, yet original. Here’s an artist who attacks the boundaries of Gospel, Jazz and R&B with his own timeless fusion, as undeniable as it is unconventional. Felton’s debut gospel CD, Gospel Stroll is attracting much attention from the gospel world recently garnering two 2003 Stellar Award nominations for Best New Artist Of The Year and Urban/Inspirational CD Of The Year.
