Grier, Anthony Jawan McEastland, Karl Jarzhino Daniel, and Marcus Kincy.  When asked about the new sound, Mitchell says, “Anyone who knows me, knows that when I typically write music, I create it for the Sunday morning worship experience, and this one is no different. It’s song that I can hear youth choirs around the world singing with the uplifting message to remind listeners that ‘He’ll make a Way'”. When asked about the visual element, he says, “I wanted to go in a different direction visually for this one. It’s been years since I’ve shot a concept video and I welcome the change. Fashion and visual art has always been important to me, and I wanted to allow myself to be even more creative visually with the different scenes, attire and choreography in order to give the world a VaShawn Mitchell they haven’t seen before.”

“Make A Way” can be streamed or downloaded on all streaming platforms and the official music video is on YouTube.
