Greetings to you,
My name is Jay M. DeVaughn. I am residing in San Antonio. I hope this email finds you well.
I am writing to inquire if there is a need for a minister of music in any of your ounding churches. To tell you a bit about myself, I have a sound imagination and a vast musical background. I have actively participated and directed choirs ever since High School. I received my Bachelor's in Vocal Performance at Shaw University where I was in the University Choir and had numerous occasions of singing lead, directing, and playing for them. I have a Master's in Vocal Performance from Morgan State University where I served as a soloist and baritone in the University Choir, as well as the select group, The Morgan Singers. I have a business, Jayaughn Music, for songwriters that are in need of original sheet music for their creations.
I am also a songwriter and composer, and I have links to my music on Youtube for your perusal, as well as two independent CDs "Awake" (Gospel) and "Something I'm Not Telling You". (Inspirational). I also have a huge testimony in thanks to God for His grace in dealing with life and it's myriad challenges. In Short, I have a story.
