Jermaine Dolly
Guest Artist

Growing up in a church, Philadelphia gospel artist Jermaine Dolly played piano, drums, and sang from a young age. In addition to becoming a well-rounded musician, he also participated in stage productions throughout high school. While attending West Chester University, he sang with the school’s choir and performed with Prayz1, a Philadelphia-based Christian rap artist. When that group opened for Tye Tribbett, Dolly impressed Tribbett so much that he was asked to tour as a background vocalist for the major gospel star. Dolly also eventually recorded with Tribbett, as heard on the GRAMMY® award-winning album Greater Than. As a solo artist, Dolly debuted in 2015 with “You.” A promising start that showcased his beliefs, falsetto, and love for Marvin Gaye-styled rolling grooves, it peaked at #20 on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs chart that April. In early 2017, he released “Come and
Knock on My Door,” the first single from his debut solo album, The Dolly Express, which reached #1 on Billboard’s list of Top Gospel Albums. Since then, Dolly has had three subsequent singles at #1 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay charts: “Pull Us Through” (2020), “It’s Gonna Be Alright” (2020), and “I’ll Go”.
