Who is Jason White? Kanye shares text exchange with choir director ahead of Sunday Service comeback

The latest news comes around two months after Jason White opened up about the formation of the Sunday Service Choir in an interview with Elev8, saying that he was excited when he received a call from Kanye West addressing the idea for a gospel group.

White said during the conversation that Ye contacted him at a time when he believed that he was not interested in exploring gospel music anymore. Jason White also referred to the reasons behind the group's formation, saying that the choirs were not being accepted anymore in churches. He continued:

"Major churches were just doing praise and worship, but that was all of the music. They kind of got rid of choirs and people. It's what I do, but it's really what Ye wanted. Ye wanted a choice."

Notably, Sunday Service Choir has released two albums so far, including Jesus Is Born and Go Tell It.
