International Music Ambassador-In-Chief!
KEBBI WILLIAMS
Grammy award winning tenor saxophonist, Kebbi Williams is one of contemporary music’s whirlwind improvisers. The imaginative multi-instrumentalist/ composer/producer/arranger/teacher resists categorization. His innovative sound dives, blends and jumpstarts all music genres. Kebbi bends it to his will with his robust, distinct blasts. His playing and compositions create a sound that is uniquely and undeniably his own. Additionally, he fronts his own Atlanta band, The Wolf Pack. “When determining how badass a band truly is, its live show can’t just be good. The sheer physicality of its performance must force patrons to shut up and listen. No Atlanta band pulls off this feat with as much originality and force as The Wolfpack.”

Juneteenth Atlanta Gospel Artist Ambassador
- Pastor St. Clair:
Born and raised in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, St. Claire's journey has been one of redemption and transformation. Growing up amidst financial struggles, domestic violence, and the pervasive influence of drugs and gang violence, he experienced firsthand the harsh realities of his community. At the tender age of 11, St. Claire faced the traumatic divorce of his parents, leaving him to navigate his formative years without the presence of a father figure. This void led him down a dark path, marked by association with gangs, violent behavior, substance abuse, and criminal activity. However, amidst the chaos and destruction of his former lifestyle, St. Claire experienced a profound spiritual awakening. Fueled by a desire for change and guided by a newfound faith, he embarked on a journey of repentance and transformation. Rejecting the negativity and violence that once defined his existence, St. Claire embraced a new identity as a beacon of light in his community. Armed with love as his weapon and fueled by a heart of repentance, he embarked on a mission to bridge the gap between God and the streets. St. Claire's music serves as a powerful testament to his journey of redemption. With a sound rooted in the realities of urban life, his lyrics pierce the heart and shake the soul, awakening the spirit within. As a contemporary Christian rap artist, St. Claire's music reflects his experiences with gangs, brokenness, and tragedy, offering hope and inspiration to those who resonate with his message. Beyond his music, St. Claire is a dedicated leader and advocate for positive change in his community. As the Westside Director of Programs for Restore Life, he is committed to empowering youth and transforming lives through creative programming and mentorship.
