The ROYALHEIRS hail from Flint, Michigan and organized in the fall of 1995 for the primary purpose of praising the Lord through the singing of " Southern Gospel Music". Their music has a quality that puts the emphasis on ministering through music. Music that blends harmony with soul stirring words that are a welcome change of pace from other forms of music.
Just as their name implies, each ROYALHEIR is an Heir to Godly Royalty. Each member has a glowing testimony that will radiate during their musical presentation. Each member has an extensive background in Gospel Music. Each has committed themselves to sharing their talents in this unique way and have been instrumental in uplifting and blessing many people in their concerts throughout Michigan, Canada and wherever the Lord leads.
The ROYALHEIRS currently sing 4 to 8 times a month, mostly on weekends. Because of their desire to be spiritually fresh, they try to reserve one Sunday per month to be in their home churches. In total, they spend an average of 15 to 20 hours per week in travel, practice or in concert. In addition to morning worship and evening praise services, they also can be found performing in concerts at county fairs, banquets, festivals and camp meetings .
The ROYALHEIRS sing on a free will offering basis with some exceptions .
