Bringing together a diverse lineup of the best new talent in their hometown community, the “Voices of Fire” Netflix series documents the journey of forming this new choir as Bishop Ezekiel Williams, Pharrell Williams, and a team of other influential gospel leaders lead a search for fresh voices in the Hampton Roads, VA region.

Phil Thornton, SVP and General Manager of RCA Inspiration, says:
“As a Virginia native myself, I am thrilled for RCA Inspiration to partner with i am OTHER and introduce the new music of Voices of Fire.
Choir has continued to be a longstanding cornerstone for Gospel music around the world and influence for countless artists through the years, and I look forward to showcasing the incredible group of talent in this choir.”
Bishop Ezekiel Williams says:
“It is surreal to know that good things truly do come to those who wait, and that dreams and desires really do come true.
I look forward to bringing more than 40 years of musical experience to the table and collaborating with equally talented artists, as we craft a symphony of voices that will stretch the musicalities of Voices of Fire.
I sincerely believe that, through Gospel music, this project will touch, influence, and change the lives of individuals from all walks of life.”
