The South Florida Gospel Singers were formed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1984, and originally consisted of Rev. Victor Robertson, his brother the late Rev. Frank Robertson and cousins Fred and Russell Murry. They have been blessed throughout the years to have been signed with four major label companies which have led to several great singles and album releases. South Florida Gospel Singers has touched audiences worldwide, and in turn their audiences have inspired the group to ever-higher levels of performance. Currently, South Florida Gospel singers include Rev. Victor Robertson on lead vocals, background vocals by Jeff Mack, Fred Murray, Mark "Boe" Jones(also playing bass guitar) and Aaron Reid (also playing guitar). Rounding out the ensemble are Khareem McCloud on keyboard and Andrew Fields on drums. The group signed with Disciples Fruition Music Group in November 2021 and released their latest single "U Saved Me" on May 29, 2022.

Earth Angels are a quartet of women whose love for God and passion for music have been heard and felt all over South Florida and beyond, and they have become a favorite among local and national audiences. After taking a hiatus from music, they are back blazing the gospel trails!

Zion Sons of Pahokee, FL are men with deep roots in church, and worship and praise music who have a unique, modern style as a gospel quartet that is appealing to both older and younger audiences alike.
