香港-加拿大新銳跨界藝術家THΔD（Thaddeus Pun）是位多才多藝的戲劇表演者兼融合爵士與R&B創作歌手。他近期透過香港ViuTV節目《全民造星5》首次亮相電視螢幕，曾參與"KNOCK KNOCK Music Special"、"DTM Music Night"等音樂企劃，並擔任2024多倫多國際龍舟節表演嘉賓。

他的音樂夥伴Jon Shen是位集歌手、鋼琴家、作曲與製作人於一身的全能音樂人。作為2017年世界音樂大獎得主，Jon於2019年發行專輯《Sole Divinity》。他深厚的爵士、福音與R&B功底，使即興演奏與編曲都信手拈來。在伯克利音樂學院求學及旅居美國、西班牙的經歷，為他的作品注入了獨特的律動韻味。Jon曾與李幸倪、盧巧音等香港知名歌手合作。

這個”Gospel Music SERIES"演出將帶觀眾穿越美國福音音樂的不同時期：從1970年代非裔教堂藍調到現代基督教音樂。曲目包括Kirk Franklin、Cece Winans等福音巨匠的經典作品，以及Jon與THΔD的原創歌曲。
