Antoine Hilton, was born and raised in New York. The youngest son in a family of seven, Antoine was blessed with not only talent and drive, but also God on his side; which guided him from a young boy looking up to his older brothers for direction, all the way to the great success of the album” Can’t Stop What God Started!” It is this album and it’s companion DVD, “Can’t Stop What God Started…Live, from New York”, that not only displays the musical range of Antoine’s talents but the depth’s of personal walk with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. From a young age Antoine had a love for music, and his attempts began early emulating his older brothers with their quartet group known as the “Cunningham Specials“. Young Antoine proved his talents with the “Cunningham Specials Juniors“, and gained the recognition of his talents from his brothers and acceptance into the “Cunningham Specials”. The notoriety that came with the group granted him the opportunity to travel with other quartet groups. This marked his road into Gospel and R&B. Through his youth he kept close ties to his local church and would go on to hold both the title of Church Music Director and Choir Director. Following after his love for music, Antoine went on to become quite successful collaborating with talented artists such as; Keith Sweat, Macey Grey, Fat Joe, Busta Ryhmes, Bad Boys - G-Dep & Black Rob, Darnell, The Mighty Clouds Of Joy, and The Christianaires. During this time his musical talents developed beyond his first instrument, the bass guitar, on to the electric and acoustic guitar, drums and now piano, and such abilities lead him to play on UPN’s hit show “Half & Half.” However, despite all this success and church titles Antoine still did not feel complete. After fighting a feeling that something in his life needed to change while participating in the secular music world, Antoine realized that his life needed to be surrendered to God in order for him to feel completion. It was with this spiritual awakening that Kingz Kidz Entertainment was created, with the partnership with long time friend and brother in Christ, Melvin G. This time when the success and awards came (Agape award , McDonald’s gospel fest…ETC) it was meaningful and complete. For it is through Christ Jesus that all things are possible and are truly lasting.
