The name “PROSPERITY” comes from the word Prosper that means favorable and conducive to success, which is why singer/songwriter Renee Spearman chose the name “PROSPERITY”. Joshua 1:8 says “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success”.

Renee Spearman and Prosperity can be heard on Yolanda Adams’ 2001 Release, The Experience” on the track entitled “I BELIEVE I CAN FLY” (Studio Version) a duet with Gerald Levert and on Gladys Knight’s latest release, they can be heard on the track entitled “Greatest Love Of All”. Written and Produced by Hot R&B /Hip Hop Producer Shep Crawford, (whose work has appeared on albums By Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men, Kelly Price, and others).

Renee Spearman and Prosperity’s prior CD releases are contemporary and creative, spiritual and soulful, trendy and touching; while their debut single and album on the BlackSphere/Drae Entertainment label is funky but faithful, energetic but endearing, and urban but undeniably anointed.

Celebrate, the current release, features soulful sounds, melodic voices, melodies that climb intensely above the music, and beats that were creatively created by Renee Spearman and Stellar Award Winner, Kenny Smith. The lyrics are derived from traditional concepts, then transferred into contemporary intensity, delivering the consistent message of God’s love through every track.
