Collier Starks has been singing, leading choirs, and preaching since he was just a young boy. Starks is a songwriter and a singer and performs with a level of intensity and emotion that is second to none. Starks’ efforts have been featured in many media outlets including Theresa Hairston’s Gospel Heritage Workshop and BET’s The Way We Do It.
Recently opening for Elder William Murphy, Collier Starks was applauded for his passion and worship. Collier Starks was born in Columbus, Georgia in 1975 to Willie and Charlotte Starks. Raised in a family with roots both in music and in preaching, it became apparent at a very young age that Starks had been blessed with those gifts, as well. He preached his first sermon at age 16, and began pastoring at the age of 24.
Marvin Winans, Rance Allen, Marvin Sapp, Daryl Coley, and Marcus Cole are all musical influences for Collier and have helped him develop his own musical style. His favorite singer of all time is Sam Cooke.
Starks is very involved as a Senior Pastor at Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church, located in Newnan, Georgia and is married to the lovely Lady Tameka Starks and the father of Kendall and Collier Jr,
Colliers’ love for music is demonstrated through his commitment to the craft, his steadfastness to the call, and his love for the Christ who truly is the reason why he sings.
Collier,
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say, you really did your "thang" at the showcase. You took me back to the high school days, but you quickly brought me forward with the maturity of your voice and vocal control. I like the swag, love the skills and really can see the Pastor in you.
