New Destiny Quartet - www.newdestinyqt.com 

New Destiny is a group that defies being categorized. Singing a mixture of Christian Music, Traditional, Praise and Worship, Christmas, an acappella, while sharing their testimonies, New Destiny offers something for everyone.

In 1999 an exciting new group burst on the gospel music scene – New Destiny Quartet. Tom Durham, Doug Ashton, and Karl Miller felt the call to begin this ministry. New Destiny Quartet has overcome many obstacles that have come their way and God has been faithful and today New Destiny Quartet has become one of the top quartets in Michigan.

In 2011, New Destiny produced their latest recording project, Sold Out. Their first national single release from that project, Burning the Midnight Oil, was released in September of 2011 to rave reviews. Over the past years New Destiny Quartet has been privileged to sing in Churches and Auditoriums in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, and Tennessee while sharing the stage with artists like The Booth Brothers, Michael English, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Vickie Winans, The Dove Brothers, The Talley Trio, Gold City and many more. But it is the souls that have been won to Christ and the Christian who was struggling then lifted up by our music that is why we travel and sing for our Lord and Savior.
