Gospel singer Earnest Pugh is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of musicians and singers by returning to his former high school as a mentor.
Pugh shares:
“I was raised in a very urban community in Shelby Country called “Chapel Hill.” At age 9, my sister and I witnessed a fatal shooting (1st-degree murder) that transpired in our neighborhood. We were devastated, to say the least, but reality set in all the more when our mother was confronted by the killer on numerous occasions with death threats. Eventually, she decided to move us to the Millington area. The relocation put my sister and me in what seemed to us a very strange environment. We were in a new school, with new friends, and a new neighborhood. But our saving grace was the Millington Central Gospel Choir. This class kept us off the streets and kept us focused on our academics and community events and eventually paved a path for me a receive a free college degree.”
Pugh’s mentoring session with the Millington Gospel choir will be held on the first Friday of each month. Pugh will share his experiences in music and his path to being a Billboard Top Selling Gospel artist and music industry mogul. He will cover engaging topics like “Maintaining Character In Culture”, “Preparing To Thrive Not Just Survive” and “The Vision ‘vs’ The Provision”.
