Biography

Kingdom Bound Quartet was formed in November of 2000 when four men felt led by God to begin a singing ministry.  Although the quartet’s roster has changed some over the past few years, the group’s desire to serve God Almighty has only increased.  Kingdom Bound’s goal continues to be spreading the message of Jesus Christ using the gifts God has given them.

·        David Sherrill, founder of Kingdom Bound Quartet, sings baritone for the group.  David has grown up around music and has attended many singing schools including the Stamps Baxter School of Music and Gospel Singers of America.  He has sung with the Ambassadors, the Gospel Hearts, and Cornerstone before feeling the call of God to form Kingdom Bound.  He is married to Chasity and has two sons, Dylan and Christian.

·        Ross Carter is the lead singer for Kingdom Bound.  He began singing in church at 8 years old. Ross attended the Jeffress School of Music in 1996.  He sang with his brother, Ryan, in a group called Brotherly Love until the age of 18. Ross is married to Lynette, and they have three children, Alyssa, Emily, and Jacob.

·        Chad James is the bass singer for Kingdom Bound.  He grew to love Southern Gospel music at a young age while listening to tapes of his grandfather sing with Pine Ridge Quartet and watching his father in their family group.  Chad sang with Lifeline Quartet for five years and with the Southern Plainsmen for a year.  Chad is also the road manager for the group and is married to Melissa.  He has two sons, Andrew and Landry.

·        Ben Stewart fills the tenor slot of the quartet.  Between singing in church musicals since he was a child and being encouraged (or forced) by his mother to take piano lessons, Ben developed a love of gospel music that he feels should be expressed.  His music education also includes attending the Stamps Baxter School of Music.  Ben is a former member of Louisiana College’s octet Common Good.  He also sang with Cornerstone and most recently concluded three years of singing with Higher Faith. He is married to Ashley.

Kingdom Bound Quartet, in its short existence has already shared the stage with some of Southern Gospel’s elite groups such as Brian Free and Assurance, the Hoskins Family, the Down East Boys, the Anchormen, and the Beene Family.  The group also performed at the Gold City Talent Show in 2001.  KBQ was awarded group of the year in 2006 by the South Texas Gospel Music Association (STGMA).

The  members of Kingdom Bound share many things in common.  All members love Southern Gospel music and believe God has called them into this ministry.  They also share a genuine love for each other, which provides for a wonderful chemistry on stage and off.
