Minister Fann, affectionately known as “Bubby” by all of his family, colleagues and friends, is a gifted songwriter as well as an anointed Minster of the Gospel for such a time as this.

Bubby has written over 250 compositions, including his impacting hit songs “Jesus Saves” and “Judah Prayze”. His love for gospel music was nurtured at his father’s church where he joined the music ministry at a young age as the church drummer and he later became the church organist. Because of his deep love and dedication to Gospel music, which has proven to be his true calling, his ministry in music has spread from his father’s church to mega church ministries and concert stages around the world. One of his greatest memories was playing in Rome, Italy at the Vatican before the late Pope John Paul for a Christmas Special covered by CNN. Bubby has also performed in France, Jamaica, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, Germany, and Canada with Queen Ester Marrow and the Harlem Gospel Singers where he served as Musical Director. Bubby has traveled across the united states as well as Paris, France and Africa with the world renowned artist Liz McComb.

Additionally, in 2003 Bubby received a preliminary nomination for the Stellar Awards for the Song of the Year category for his hit song “Judah Prayze”. On numerous occasions he has performed on BET’s Bobby Jones Gospel music show and Gospel music retreat.

He has also performed at the House of Blues in Chicago and Atlantic City.

In 2004 The Lord set his approval on Bubby Fann and Praise Beyond.
