But an introduction to GRAMMY Award Winner Donald Lawrence and the subsequent release of his family’s CD, Family Prayer, catapulted this North Carolina-based family to the stratosphere with Billboard charting hits, GRAMMY and Stellar Award Nominations and national notoriety. Continuing the family legacy, Damion Murrill stepped into the role of artist, with his group Siloam, delivering a brand new, choir-friendly single called “Kingdom Come”.
One listen to Damion Murrill and Gospel music fans will wonder what took this amazing artist so long to step to the lead mic. Apart from the group, Damion has long been a songwriter, and producer. He has worked with everyone from Donald Lawrence to Tommy Sims to PJ Morton – just to name a few. Raised in Wilmington, North Carolina, music was ever present in the Murrill household. “My father was a pastor and my mother was the co-pastor,” Damion re-counts. “There were six kids and all of us played, sang in the choir, directed; we did it all. I had brothers that played organ and bass; I played drums. Growing up was a lot of fun,” says Damion. He spent years under the music ministry tutelage of his mother, Evangelist J. R. Murrill, an amazing singer and choir director. It was his “chance” meeting with Gospel great Donald Lawrence that opened up doors for him in the Gospel music industry. After running into Lawrence at several concerts and workshops, prior to him becoming the phenomenon he’s now known as, the two connected. Lawrence took to Damion and his family and promised them that once he got to a place of prominence, he would come back and get the Murrills. True to his word, he tapped the group to join the Tri-City Singers, which Damion was a part of, and later, he took the group under his wing and was an integral part of the family’s debut CD, Family Prayer. Damion along with his brother, Andre Murrill,
collaborated their co-producing skills on the release which scaled the Billboard Top 20 Gospel Music Chart. The project was a major success and The Murrills received a GRAMMY Award Nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album and a Stellar Award Nomination for New Artist Of The Year “Kingdom Come”.
