He catapulted into recognition in 1985 for his singing ability with the GRAMMY® Award-winning Love Fellowship Crusade Choir. In 1994, he became the visionary, founder and Bishop of the Love Fellowship Choir (LFC) Bishop of the Love Fellowship Tabernacle. The messages were, and still are, so hardcore that the rap world responded to the realness of it and deemed him the “Pastor of Hip Hop.” He is also the Overseer of Love Fellowship Tabernacle Kunjolo Ministries located in Cape Town, South Africa. Walker has released several albums on the music labels Sweet Rain Records, Benson Music Group, and Verity Records as Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir, Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Choir, and more recently (since 2005) as, Hezekiah Walker & LFC. Walker’s efforts have seen him win GRAMMY® Awards for Best Gospel Album By Choir Or Chorus twice: once for Live in Atlanta at Morehouse College (1994), and once for Love Is Live! (2001). Separate from The Love Fellowship Choir, Walker’s Love Fellowship Tabernacle Choir (LFT Church Choir) has released albums entitled Recorded “Live” at Love Fellowship Tabernacle in 1998, and Love Is Live in 2001.
