eCsiLe (Editor-In-Service)

eCsiLe

eCsiLe is an emcee, Co-host of the WAR ROOM, & the Editor-In-Service of The CHH Jamz Collective. A husband and father of three, he has been a student of Hip-Hop since he was an adolescent. Coming from a broken home and having experienced a variety of challenges throughout his life, it wasn't until his early 20's that he realized God was actively intervening in his life and calling him to abandon the path of rebellion. After recording & performing for almost a decade, as well as promoting concerts and fundraisers, he stepped away from music, unsure if he would ever pick up the mic again. After nearly another decade elapsed God provided clear signs that it was time to return to his passion of making and promoting music to point people toward Christ.  He hasn't looked back since...

Bertrand McKinney (Co-Host)

Bertrand McKinney

Bertrand "BERTY" McKinney is a Gospel Hip-Hop artist, writer, producer and A/R for the We All 1 Records label as well 1 of the hosts of Let's Talk Gospel. BERTY, which stands for Baptized Enlightened Redeemed Trusting Yahweh, was born in New Orleans, La and raised in Tylertown, Ms by his father and mother. Growing up, God was always a part of his life, and church was a common thing in their household. The village that raised BERTY helped him to learn of God, but he realized that he didn’t really know God until he progressed further into adulthood. 
During this journey, BERTY started to date and fall in love hard with almost every relationship he had. After one bad break up, BERTY contemplated committing suicide until his aunt, who he hadn’t spoken to in months, called him and said, “God told me to tell you that he loves you and don’t do it”. At that moment, BERTY knew that God had never left him and that he had allowed the world to sidetrack him. He decided to move forward by letting the world go and recommitting his life back to God through his music.

Kimberley Howell

Born in North Carolina, music was a staple in Kimberly Howell's life. Her aunt and uncles kept the house filled with classic soul music but it was her grandmother who sewed the seed for soul inspiring music within her. She loved to play Gospel music. Worship was being implanted in her DNA, pointing her toward God.
Kimberly is an AGGIE from NC A&T State University, and later moved to Atlanta Georgia unaware what the future held. She attended any and every musical event in the city. In 2005 she partnered with a friend to start "The Experience” Music Promotions, holding numerous events. Still she was missing something. While reading Psalm 150 she realized her purpose was helping people heal through music. Angel Wings Music was established to walk in love, inspire souls and provide hope to people through music with purpose as written in scripture. She would later join The Real Level Up Talk Show that featured ordinary people with extraordinary stories. Today you can find Kimberly helping to host CHH Jamz Presents, Let’s Talk Gospel, and Angel Wings Music Presents.
