John P. Kee

At an early age he began developing his musical talent both instrumentally and vocally.

There he began attending the Yuba College Conservatory School of Music in Marysville, California.

Due to having a hard time adjusting in California, he moved to Charlotte, North Carolina (only to find himself living in a part of the city known for its violence and drug activities).

After watching one of his friends being murdered in a drug deal gone bad, he rededicated his life back to God during a visitation to a revival meeting.

In 1990, Kee founded the Victory in Praise Music and Arts Seminar Mass Choir, or "V.I.P."
