Let
His Praises Ring!
By Mz. Woot
To God be the Glory for the gifts birth in Lessette Kornegay. I'm going to start off by sharing that she has a God given talent that she works to uplift and encourage others thru her songs of personal testimony of what God can and will do. I came across the angelic voice online while looking for some new artists to contact and feature on blog site. I was captivated by her entitled song "Hold On" the video which can be found on YouTube (see links below). As I watched and listened to her sing, the words of the song enlightened my soul and gave me hope to continue on in my journey. I was truly blessed and felt as if I needed to find out more about her and the music.
I finally got a chance to speak with Mrs. Lessette and from our conversation she is truly a woman of God who loves to sing and uplift the name of Jesus. I was encouraged by her to continue on with to help artist get there music heard. I will say this she is truly blessed and I know that the rest of this article will bless you as it has blessed me to write it. You can find Mrs Lessette at Victory Cathedral Worship Center Int. in Kinston, NC where she and her husbands are Elders in the Church

Lessette Kornegay Bio reads; As an opening act for the likes of Vickie Winans, Twinkie Clark, Dorinda Clark Cole, Joyce Haddon, Shirley Caesar, and a host of others, Lessette Kornegay is no foreigner to music. Raised in Kinston, North Carolina and the youngest of 6 children, she followed in her father’s musical footsteps.
Lessette shares her love for God and her experiences through the launch of her 1st gospel CD entitled, " After the Storm." Her formal training as a gospel singer came from her father, Mr. John F. Cox. Mr. Cox was very familiar with gospel; he founded and managed a gospel group and did opening acts for gospel greats such as Shirley Ceasar.
“From a child I was always interested in singing. I also learned a lot by looking at TV, actors and singers. I love country music. I love all music.” Her love for music ranges from Shirley Caesar to Aretha Franklin to Tina Turner and Elvis Presley, “I always wanted to meet Elvis Presley when I was young”... “Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner sing from their heart.”
Making guest appearances on a number of broadcasts, events and shows, charismatic recording artist, Lessette heals and inspires listeners through her voice. Her music is a unique combination of Contemporary Gospel, Jazz and Country – fit for a wide array of audiences. Lessette’s spirituality extends beyond her gospels tunes, into her church in which she and her husband Clarence Kornegay are Elders.
In addition to her impeccable voice, Lessette is gifted in yet another area – painting. Her paintings have been featured in various newspapers, art galleries and shows. Lessette received her Bachelor’s in Painting and Drawing at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. Her father is also instrumental to her success as an artist, “I do portraits, I see art in everything; art is in everything.”
