Album Notes

Tranishia Gholston
Born and raised in the church, Tranishia has been immersed in music since the tender age of three. The daughter of a Methodist minister, Rev. Horace Gholston and church pianist, Estella Gholston, Tranishia's vocal ability was recognized early on. Singing with a host of Choirs and various organizations in her youth, Tranishia traveled to Japan with the Oakland Youth Chorus, and starred as Dorothy in "The Wiz" at Holy Names High School. She later became introduced to Jazz, where she was a featured vocalist with the College of Alameda Jazz Band under the direction of Bill Bell.

In 2004, Tranishia sung background vocals on Clayboard Records artist, Pat James' recording "Step Into God's Purpose", and subsequently became a studio session singer for Clayboard Records under the direction of Jerome Clay, where she recorded numerous singles for various Clayboard Records artists including "Jerry & The Champions".

In 2008, Tranishia became a member of "Jerry & The Champions" and has recorded and filmed several videos with the group, which have become highly popular on Youtube.

"Out of Nowhere", Tranishia's debut single for Clayboard Records features her cascading vocals and demonstrates her highly developed vocal agility. The smooth mellow ballad conjures up feelings of love and endearment that Tranishia so eloquently delivers.

Tranishia is truly a natural and is a captivating performer as well. Her stunning looks and amazing talent mesmerizes audiences where ever she performs. We at Clayboard Records are proud to present to the world, Ms.Tranishia Gholston.
