(BET’s gospel show “Sunday’s Best” winner Y’Anna Crawley performing)

Y’Anna Crawley shows us once more why she was delivered the crown on BET’s gospel show “Sunday’s Best” The new gospel recording artist sung her heart out for a crowd of more than 2500 in a concert on January 31, 2010 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The concert also featured The Washington Performing Arts Society Gospel Choir.

Crawley for sixteen years was a faithful member of WPAS and was also a part of the organization when they sung at the January 2009 Presidential Inauguration. The concert entitled “A Time for Renewal and Restoration” was the choir’s way of uplifting the community’s spirit from struggles of everyday life.

“I believe it’s the words, the lyrics. For people to know that there is hope, especially considering the economy and what’s going on in Haiti, it helps in these trying times. Music really speaks to you and encourages you through everything. Just because you’re hurting and crying today, that doesn’t mean that you’ll be hurting and crying tomorrow.” Crawley told Express.

The 32 year old has almost been in the game for a year now as a major recording artist. She is now preparing her first CD, The Promise. The OC will be sure to keep you posted on her new music!
