Archangel Music Group, led by President, artist, author, and Marine veteran M Anthony Garner, is making waves in the worship music industry with the release of his latest EP, Trojan Horse. M Anthony’s multifaceted life as a music artist, songwriter, producer, author, and community leader shapes his unique sound, which blends his rich background in music with his profound personal beliefs. His work aims to bridge religious, cultural, and social divides, offering listeners a unique spiritual experience that transcends conventional worship music.
M Anthony’s musical journey began in his childhood, deeply influenced by his family’s love for music. Born in New Orleans, his family relocated to the Bayou area of Louisiana to shield him and his siblings from the challenges of inner-city life. In a home filled with gospel music, M Anthony’s early exposure to the church choir—where his mother served as a choir director—ignited his passion for singing at the tender age of seven. His musical education expanded when he took up the trumpet, laying a solid foundation in instrumental music from fourth to eighth grade. By thirteen, he had moved on to mastering the piano and organ, showcasing his versatility and dedication to his craft.
M Anthony’s professional career in music took off in 1993 with the formation of Total Package, a group that introduced his writing and production talents to a broader audience with the release of the single “Midnight Romance.” His deep-seated faith and love for gospel music led him to co-create Divine Inspiration, a Christian duo with whom he released the album Stay. This album was a testament to his ability to intertwine his musical prowess with his spiritual beliefs, marking a significant milestone in his career. His foray into Christian music further evolved with the writing, composition, and production of a fourteen-scene Christian musical titled Choices and the publication of his book, America: A Disconnected Society, which addresses the societal issues and cultural divisions present in modern America.
The release of his first solo album, To The Nations, in 2019 marked a new chapter in M Anthony’s artistic journey. This album was well-received for its innovative mix of musical genres and insightful lyrics, setting the stage for his latest work, Trojan Horse. The EP reflects his evolving artistry and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of worship music. Through his music, M Anthony seeks to communicate that “music can transcend any religious, cultural, and social divide,” a message that resonates deeply in a world increasingly marked by division.
In addition to his musical achievements, M Anthony’s dedication to community service is a core aspect of his identity. Drawing from his experience as a Marine veteran, he embodies the values of service and leadership. He has volunteered as a musician and worship team member at his home church, and he continues to share his musical gifts. His commitment to the community is further exemplified in his role as President of the Executive Board of 98 Diamonds Foundation, an organization dedicated to the mentorship, education, and well-being of at-risk children. Through this foundation, M Anthony focuses on providing resources and opportunities for children and their communities, striving to make a lasting impact on the lives of those in need.
M Anthony’s contributions to music and society have not gone unnoticed. His innovative approach and heartfelt commitment have been featured in various media outlets, including Houma Today, which highlighted his influence on the local community and his efforts to use music as a force for positive change. His ongoing projects, such as the Trojan Horse EP and his literary works, continue to garner attention, underscoring his mission to address cultural and social issues through creative expression.
