The Sounds of Praise Chorale (S.O.P.) was formed at the St. Paul Sounds of Praise church in Newark, New Jersey, which was pastored by Natalie's late father, Bishop Nathaniel Simmons. The groups consists of 30 high-energy singers, backed by a excellent, tough, tight band, and fronted by the hottest female artist Natalie Wilson. Natalie is renowned for her skills as a singer, arranger, director, and contemporary urban gospel music. Since 1992, Natalie Wilson & S.O.P. Chorale's record label, Gospo Centric, and it's sister label, B-Rite Music, have taken the music industry by storm with artists who express a traditional spirit of faith and ministry in energetic, gap-bridging, and culture-captivating music. A steady stream of engagements around the U.S. and Canada led to a high profile appearance on the nationally syndicated Bobby Jones Gospel Hour, and a showcase before the annual convention of Rev. James Cleveland's distinguished Gospel Music Workshop of America.
