One of the country's rising gospel singers, Cherlyn Moloney is scheduled to release her new album 'God Will Make A Way' in time for the Christmas season and it is expected to be a big hit.

Cherlyn who gained popularity in the Guyanese society after releasing hits such as "Don't Give Up" and "Give Him Thanks", has been into gospel music for several years now.

The conservative lover of music, who writes and produces her own lyrics which are ably matched with a professional touch of her other half, Lennox Maloney has recently recorded her new album at the Owen Shades productions in Trinidad and Tobago.

"God will make a way" features ten tracks of praise and worship by Maloney who has been a Christian all her life and is confident that it is her gift to minister to hearts.

Cherlyn told The Scene she started as a singer at her church at the age of nine at the Tucville Assembly of God Church and was able to venture into the world of music professionally when she met her compatible partner. The couple formed the Ambassadors Gospel band and ever since they have been making a name for themselves in Guyana and the Caribbean bringing the ministry of music to the hearts of many.

The Ambassadors made their initial recording in 2000 'Joy in the Kingdom', a collective album which included Cherlyn and Lennox and 10 others.

"I always liked to sing and in those days we didn't have so many instruments and so we didn't find it that exciting, but now things have changed and I enjoy music so much," she said.

"When I met my husband [I realised that] we both have gifts. I am a singer and he is a musician so we ventured out on saving souls and this is what we see ourselves doing for the Lord."

The Ambassadors Gospel Band performs at Christian functions throughout the country and has performed in Trinidad and Tobago, St Thomas and St Croix.

Despite competition from the upsurge in gospel music the Maloneys believe they are destined to succeed and promote their music wherever they go.

"No matter where we go we take our music with us and in countries like Trinidad and St Thomas our music is played on the radio stations," Lennox said.

The couple are members of the Newtown Assembly of God church which has played a crucial role in the promotion of their music. "Our church has been extremely supportive of our venture and has been behind us all the time," they said.

Earlier this year the Maloneys hosted a gospel concert and award show and 26 awards were handed out to the most outstanding musicians and singers across the country.

The Maloneys see themselves achieving greater heights but like for most artistes, piracy is creating many challenges.

"Piracy is terrible to us, people take our music and reproduce it and sell it at cheaper prices and it has a terrible effect on us."

However, they believe that this is their calling from God and are inspired to continue in the world of gospel music despite challenges.
