ABOUT NU COVENANT:
Nu Covenant consists of three brothers Willie, Michael, Marc McMillon and cousin Christopher Merritt, ranging from the ages of 29-33. Alongside their ability to sing, Nu Covenant also plays the drums, bass guitar, piano and the trumpet. Nu Covenant was formed after the brothers were involved in a tragic car accident that almost took their lives. As a result of this near death experience, Nu Covenant decided to commit their lives to a greater cause. Residing in a city where many needs go unmet and where people have been brutally beaten and even murdered, it is Nu Covenant's personal belief that it is going to take love to change the world and this was the beginning of Nu Covenant's movement known as "Love Draws". "Its experiencing the Love of God that draws us closer to Him and Motivates us to Love People." Nu Covenant aspires to be mentors for the misunderstood and misguided; therefore they dedicate their lives to release songs that will inspire people who feel lost and broken. It is their hope that through their music many can find the strength to live another day.

Nu Covenant is driven by a force greater than their own to help create a movement that will impact generations by showing people what true love really is.
