Game 1 of the World Series began with pure emotion long before the first pitch — thanks to a powerful performance by Voices of Fire, the gospel choir co-founded by Pharrell Williams and his uncle, Bishop Ezekiel Williams.
As the choir took center stage at Rogers Centre, their soulful renditions of both the American and Canadian national anthems brought the crowd to its feet. Backed by a local Toronto orchestra, their harmonies echoed through the stadium, creating a magical moment that united fans from both sides.
Who is Voices of Fire?
Voices of Fire is a dynamic gospel choir formed by music producer Pharrell Williams and his uncle Bishop Ezekiel Williams. The group’s journey to stardom began with the Netflix docuseries “Voices of Fire”, which documented their creation, their mission to inspire, and their search for extraordinary voices across their community.
Since its debut, the choir has remained active and influential, collaborating with Pharrell on several projects — most notably the uplifting track “JOY (Unspeakable)”. Their passion for spreading positivity through faith and music has earned them recognition far beyond the gospel world.
Recently, Voices of Fire released a 13-track album titled “Ophanim”, blending gospel, R&B, and soul. The project features a lineup of notable artists, including CeeLo Green, Quavo, and Zacardi Cortez, showcasing the group’s musical versatility and creative depth.
