About
Energetic, passionate, and sincere are a few words to describe
LaMark Holley. The 32-year-old native Detroiter developed his many
talents at an early age, his love for singing and acting prompted
his participation in numerous contests, which yielded many vocal
awards, such as the Aeolin Award for best male vocalist.
LaMark
fully embraces his calling to the local church ministry. Under the
spiritual leadership and anointing of Bishop Nehemiah Smith of the
Greater Apostolic Faith Temple, in Detroit, Michigan, La Mark has
excelled in ministry as a psalmist, writer, arranger and producer.
In addition to serving the local church, LaMark has also served as
the Michigan State Council Praise & Worship leader for the
Pentecostal Churches of the Apostolic Faith (PCAF)- where the
Honorable Alfred Singleton presides.
LaMark has, personally
ministered with Deitrick Haddon, where he served as a background
vocalist in the live video recording, Chain Breaker. He has also
been featured in the Light Year Production Play, Whats Love Got to
Do With It, written by Derrick & Celeste Brinkley. LaMark is also
known for his songwriting and arranging abilities. He has written
songs for such artists as Derrick Starks (Potters House) and
Phillips Brooks (I am Here), featuring gospel icon, Keith Staten,
from Commissioned.
LaMark is happily married to Marlena, his wife of
12 years; and they are blessed to have two beautiful daughters,
Markell and Marcia. LaMarks second family is One-A-Chord. This
aggregation of 16 anointed and amazing minstrels, vocally enhance
and support LaMarks vision and musical endeavors.
One-A-Chord was
birthed 10-years ago as a community choir for the Greater Metro
Detroit area. In February 2006, Mark Holley & One-A-Chord released
their first album entitled, What a Friend. The response in accolades
from local and national radio stations as well as gospel artists has
been overwhelming and humbling. This collective body of believers
has a passion for ministry, an interest in musical excellence , and
a drive to let the world know that God is love. The evidence of that
love of God and love from God is exhibited through our relationships
with one another. We are one through His blood. The sole purpose of
this ministry is to reach the lost , to edify and encourage Gods
people.
The primary goal of Mark Holley & One-A-Chord is to reach
the masses and to deliver the plan of salvation to the lost. This
ministry strives to promote and produce unity in the body of Christ,
through love. Mark Holley & One-A-Chord have been privileged to
share the stage with artists such as Darius Twyman & Destiny,
Derrick Milan & The Krew, Byron Cage, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Karen
Clark-Sheard, Kierra KiKi Sheard, Chris Jones & Word of Praise and
have done live recordings with Detroit Sings, produced by Deitrick
Haddon.
LaMark says that one of his dreams is to bring a message of
unity to the body of Christ and to break all racial barriers within
our churches and ultimately, the world. LaMarks prayer is to deliver
a message of unconditional love to a people forgetting race and
spiritual denomination. LaMark understands and realizes that his
vision must first start with him.
Through this ministry, with Gods
help, I pray that we understand that We are One in the spirit. No
division, no hate; but love through Jesus Christ - LaMark Holley
