Zacardi
Cortez, Darnell Williams, Edwrin Sutton, and Keon Harrison Unite To Form A Gospel Supergroup, The Quartet Collective
(Houston, TX) - The Quartet Collective officially launches. They are a new Gospel supergroup
uniting four voices and generations on a mission to honor the heritage of Gospel quartets while advancing its sound for a
global audience.
Zacardi
Cortez, Darnell Williams, Edwrin Sutton, and Keon Harrison are the Grammy nominated and Stellar Award winning distinctive
voices who make up The Quartet Collective. This group is a first-of-its-kind, quartet-inspired collaborative effort from the
four celebrated voices whose artistry spans church culture, radio charts, and epic viral moments.
The group is preparing an album produced by Darnell Williams to be released by
Black Smoke Music Worldwide.
Zacardi Cortez is a
2X Grammy Award nominee and 3-time Stellar Award winning artist. Zacardi is a church-bred power tenor with elastic range,
fearless modulation, and signature ad-libs that turn strong songs into show-stopping praise breaks. Zacardi is one of Gospel
music's most notable voices, who delivers soul-stirring, unforgettable live moments. Zacardi's single "Work It Out For
Me" recently hit #1 on the Billboard Gospel Airplay Chart. Darnell Williams is the frontman of the award-winning group
The Williams Singers. He is a 4-time Stellar Award nominee widely credited with helping to revolutionize Quartet music, blending
traditional quartet with Contemporary R&B/Hip-Hop and testimonial songwriting. Darnell is a silky, R&B-leaning tenor
with immaculate pocket, crisp runs, and intuitive arranger's instincts threading classic quartet emotion through modern grooves.
Edwrin Sutton is a singer/songwriter who was introduced to the Gospel industry in 2021 with his debut single "I Hear
Rain," which peaked at #32 on the Gospel BDS Radio Chart. He is an expressive tenor whose debut album, "The Revival,"
debuted at #23 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums Chart and #5 on the Top Gospel Album Sales Chart. Sutton's pen is marked
by scripture-rich storytelling and memorable hooks. He fuses revival-ready lyrics with quartet call-and-response, crafting
verses, bridges, and modulations that travel seamlessly from Sunday morning services to the radio airwaves. Keon Harrison
is a seasoned quartet singer with The Harrison Family who went viral in 2023 for a wedding performance of TEEKS' "First
Time." Keon's warm, resonant baritone lead vocal with authentic quartet coloring and storytelling vibrato creates an
emotional core that anchors harmonies. His alliance with The Quartet Collective marks his introduction to mainstream Gospel.
The Quartet Collective is on cue to release their
first single in May and an album later this year. Fans can expect quartet-driven harmonies, testimony-rich lyrics, hand-clapping
rhythms, and spirit-stirring modulations delivered with contemporary polish - that's the Quartet Collective's way! Follow
these gentlemen on social media and prepare for the sensational sounds of The Quartet Collective!
