The Man…    The Music…    The Ministry!

Dr. D.L. Gilbert—affectionately known as the “MusicPreacher”—is a Contemporary Urban Gospel artist, gifted songwriter, and award-nominated music producer whose life’s work is rooted in creating music that inspires purpose, healing, and spiritual transformation. With a sound that fuses Gospel, R&B, soul, and contemporary praise, he has spent decades shaping a musical expression that bridges generations and connects deeply with today’s listeners.

From his early beginnings as a musician, choir director, and minister of music, Dr. Gilbert has consistently demonstrated a passion for producing songs that are both spiritually impactful and musically excellent. His signature style blends soul-stirring melodies with Scripture-driven lyrics and high-energy worship, encouraging audiences to embrace their God-given destiny. This vision ultimately led to the founding of his independent Gospel label, DLG Records—a platform dedicated to producing music that uplifts, empowers, and glorifies God.

While music remains central to his calling, Dr. Gilbert’s ministry extends beyond the stage. Called to ministry at a young age, he said “yes” to God early—receiving his ministerial licensure at 19 and pastoral ordination by 28. He is a Bible college-educated, theologically trained minister who holds a Ph.D. in Theology, and he continues to teach with clarity, conviction, and a firm belief that God still speaks, moves, and transforms lives today.

In addition to his music and preaching, Dr. Gilbert is an accomplished author and educator, creating resources that help Believers grow spiritually and walk boldly in their purpose. His works, including leadership training through the Before You Ordain: Train curriculum, reflect his commitment to developing strong, effective leaders for the Kingdom.

He also serves as the Founder and Presiding Bishop of New Revelation Global Church, headquartered in Central Florida, where his ministry reaches both local and global audiences through in-person and digital platforms.

At the heart of it all, Dr. D.L. Gilbert’s mission is clear: “Preach God’s Word / Produce God’s music / Prepare God’s people.” Whether through music, prophetic sermons, apostolic teachings, or mentoring and leadership / discipleship trainings, his message remains the same—reminding every Believer of one powerful truth: YOU HAVE DESTINY!
