Brilliance (bright shining for the LORD)
Almasi and Lisa Sims make up the sensational and anointed gospel duet known as Brilliance. This gospel duet combines harmonic songs with rhythmic testimonies and praises to the LORD, to create a unique sound inspired solely by the Holy Spirit and used for the purpose of up building the kingdom of GOD. It is this unique sound that makes this duet brilliant for GOD: a bright shining light for the Lord.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Almasi got his start in 1999 with an R&B group known as Something Else. This group was made up of four young men that performed around the state of Florida singing the majority of their songs acappella and in four part harmony. Something Else won several talents shows around Florida and sung at many weddings and even church events. After the group separated in 2002 Almasi began to advance a solo career using his talents in Rap and R&B. This career advance would not last long. In 2005 Almasi gave his life along with his talents in music fully to GOD. He began singing and rapping for GOD and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead him at all times.
Lisa started a singing career in 1998 in her high school chorus. Her chorus group traveled all around the United States and won many prestigious awards. After graduating high school in 2001 Lisa received a scholarship to Florida State University, where she would continue to receive training in classical music. In 2005 Lisa decided to begin a career singing R&B music. Her R&B music career would not last long either. In 2006 Lisa devoted her talents totally to GOD.
On May 13, 2006 a brilliant thing occurred, Almasi and Lisa were joined together in Holy matrimony and have been making beautiful music together for the LORD every since. Brilliance has recently written and produced their very own gospel album entitled Truth Be Told. They are currently spreading GODs word through song around the Tampa, FL area, and plan on taking GODs message to the world. GOD definitely works for the good of those who love HIM (Ro 8:28).
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live mostly in the Tampa, FL area and we love sharing the Gospel through song. One special moment was when we ministered in the same event as Arrested Development, espeacially because their cassette was the first one I (Almasi) ever owned!
