About Ready To Walk

Product Description Lyric included. Review Nutritionist Always Inspired To Sing Peace Within Me was her first album. Claudette Josephs is a nutritionist and gospel singer who moved to Queens from the island of Jamaica more than 30 years ago. She performs under the name Cee Josephs and has four albums to her credit. When Josephs moved to Queens, she started going to the church that her sisters, who were living here before she moved, were attending. My sisters were living in St. Albans at the time and they attended Linden Church, which was located on Linden Boulevard then, and that s how I found out about that church, and I ve been worshipping with them ever since, Josephs said. Josephs comes from a close knit Christian, musical family of 14 including her parents. I ve been singing since I was a child. I would say in my mother s womb. I just came out singing, she said. My mother was a singer, a soprano in the church choir, she was the soloist. My sisters are all singers, though not on a professional level. My entire family was in the choir at one time or another and my father was a guitar player and a singer. Claudette Cee Josephs decided to take her singing on a professional level in 1996 when she released her first album Peace Within Me. Subsequent albums include Three Way Calling (2000), Ready to Walk (2005) and Loves (2007). Josephs does all the writing on her albums with the exception of Loves, which is a compilation of her favorite songs. Before I started writing these are the songs I sang, she said of the album that includes songs such as Babbie Mason s Holy is the Lamb, and Each One Reach One, Sandi Patty s We Shall Behold Him, and Friend of A Wounded Heart by Helen Baylor. Josephs worked as a Community Nutritionist at the St. Mary s Hospital for Children Home Care Division and currently works as Head of Clinical Nutrition Services for AIDS and Substance Abuse patients. I don t regret going into nutrition instead of music on a full time basis, only to the point that I would be an accomplished musician in terms of playing an instrument but one of these days I m going back to the piano, she said. Music is my life. Music has always been a part of me and I believe it s a great gift of God to elevate and uplift people and to point them to God and I believe that is my calling. I just want people to know about him. The singing nutritionist said her inspiration comes from just about anything and everything. I would be coming home on the subway and something pops into my head or I ll be driving and just sing the tune in my phone so by the time I get home I can record it and a song is born that way, Josephs said. Or I may be going to sleep and something pops up in my head and I would jump up and write it down. Josephs has also traveled to Botswana and South Africa in 2003 as part of a missionary team where she taught nutrition, how to cook vegetarian, prayed with the people there and prepared the women to become prayer warriors and also prepared them for a large crusade that was held in Botswana. Josephs albums are available at ceejosephs.org and her music is available for downloading at most music download sites including iTunes, eMusic and iSound.
