NEW ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL STAR TURNED WORSHIP LEADER…MEET TODD DULANEY

Apr.17, 2011, under Music, News

If you read the headline and thought “just another athlete with a dream to sing” just think again! Todd Dulaney is not just another celebrity with the money to make record deals happen, he actually has the vocal skills to justify any record execs ‘John Hancock’ on the dotted line…..but not just that he’s anointed to minister the Lord’s music and that is the ‘it’ factor with this guy.

Born in south suburban Maywood, IL on December 20, 1983 Todd spent most of his life pursuing a baseball career. The hard work paid off, he was a 32nd round draft choice and played 5 years of professional baseball for the New York Mets. Due to an untimely injury his career was unfortunately ended.

Story has it that Todd was never really a singer like that, focusing mainly on his athletic abilities. One Sunday his pastor (through the leading Holy Ghost) called him out of the audience to sing a song and even Dulaney was surprised by what he heard. This amazing discovery developed into the position he presently holds as worship leader.

“When I was released by the Mets, it crushed me. Life after the game can crush any player. Even when a player retires after years of playing, he starts to look around like “What’s next?” My first route was to go to church. I became a member of Smokey Norful’s church. I was excited about what he was doing. I sang on the praise team at church and he asked me to sing background for him,” said Dulaney in an interview with Rolling Out Newspaper.

Now, his instantly likeable single, ‘Pulling Me Through’ is in the Top 40 on all three gospel music charts and continues to rise. ‘Pulling Me Through’ is a praise anthem that grips you with every word. When asked about his new single ‘Pullin Me Through’ he says:

“It is by God’s grace and mercy that we overcome and as we trust Him, He will pull us through every situation”

Todd will be in Atlanta preforming all next week and gearing up for his appearance at the 42nd Annual Dove Awards.For more information or to purchase Todd Dulaney debut album ‘Pullin Me Through’ visit his labels website goldstreetgospel.com
