I Need You, the debut from leading background vocalists Seth & Nirva, is set to bow on iTunes December 17. The album is highlighted by “All Praise” (featuring TobyMac); the piano-driven title cut (feat. Shonlock); and the hip-hop based “Praise Him” (feat. GabeReal), among other songs.
“I think we are more dynamic together,” says Seth Ready of the couple’s debut. “Nirva has an incredible range and a powerful voice that brings a lot of energy to a song.” Nirva adds: “I have always enjoyed being part of a team rather than being on my own, and who better to be teammates with than your best friend and husband.”
Nirva Ready is featured as a singer and dancer in TobyMac’s Diverse City band, touring with the iconic artist’s ensemble for more than a decade. A graduate of Nashville’s historic Fisk University, she was a member of the renowned Fisk Jubilee Singers and has also been a background vocalist for such artists as Mandisa, Natalie Grant and Nicole C. Mullen, among many others.
Beginning his career as a background singer with multi-platinum urban-gospel recording artist Kirk Franklin, Seth Ready has shared the stage with Chris Tomlin, Donnie McClurkin and CeCe Winans, among others, as a supporting vocalist. Ready currently serves as pastor of young adult ministry at The Crossing Church in Tampa, Florida.
