Nominated for Momentum Award for Worship Artist of the year and Urban Gospel Artist of the Year. 1-06 "I LEARNED TO REST” track 17 on IRL CD compilation in Midem, France What Reviewers are saying: Song of the year reviewer 2-09 "It Takes Faith" I knew I was in for a treat with the first notes of the song. This is an exciting, energetic song of praise! The lyrics deliver the message in a joyous way, and the music keeps listeners on their feet moving to the beat. The title is simple and proud. I love this song! Song of the year reviewer 2-09 "My Worship is my Warfare" This song chronicles your victory in warfare against the spiritual enemies of the Body of Christ. Your lyrics proclaim the tools of your warfare. In professing your worship, you are standing on faith, bearing your spiritual shield and drawing your sword, which is the Word of God. This is one powerful song that serves not only as a battle cry but a proclamation of victory. I am blessed by your song! Chelsea Harmon of Inside Connection "Good Morning Jehovah would raise many hands in the Baptist church. While religiously charged, this song has the potential to become a mainstream household name. "It Shall Not Always Be Like This incorporates a down south country sound behind her positive message. Yvonne Perkins is only steps from success. SONGWRITER’S VISION: Ms. Perkins's vision is that her music will be recorded by recording artists and be used in tv/radio/film and plays in the near future and that God will be glorified in all of her endeavors. Artist Mission I believe that some recording artists are dedicated to using their talent to reach the multitudes for Christ and are looking for songs with a message for this mess up age that we live in. I am looking to make connection with these artists and the songs I write are geared to assist true believers in understanding the powerful weapons of worship and praise. My songs are birthed out of tests, trials and victories. These songs will help equip the true believer for Christian warfare.
