Music is a universal language that speaks to our deepest selves. Rhythms and lyrics have the power to communicate with our hearts, spirits, and souls in a way conversation cannot.
It’s medicine for the soul. It brings comfort, understanding, and restoration. This healing force of music was the calling of Immanuel Mitchell, known by his stage name Gifted Hands.
Through his artistry, Gifted knew he could mend wounds and uplift weary spirits because he began with his own. Mitchell was gifted with the ability to move people & touch hearts with his musical talents & transparent relatable lyrics.
His inspirational songs resonated with audiences, delivering messages of hope and encouragement. Driven by purpose, Mitchell shared his gift to make a difference in people's lives.
Little did he know, music would change his life in more ways than one.
The viral artist became well known after releasing a TikTok video snippet of the popular song, "Why Not Start?" The memorable song with quotable lyrics recounted Gifted's story about personal struggles & the drive to overcome them. With this song came a TikTok challenge & nobody hesitated to participate in the positivity Gifted was spreading. With over 3 million total views across YouTube, the statistics prove to be a rousing showcase of the artist's talent.
The prominent artist known for his thriving song has continued to gain momentum. His dream of reaching the stars actually began reaching stars. In December 2023, Gifted Hands stood behind the microphone before the music legend Timbaland.

He is the mastermind behind various chart-topping songs & artists such as Jay-Z, Nas, Nelly Furtado, Keri Hilson, Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, SWV, & more. (Source: Timbaland.com, thevogue.com)
Gifted took to Facebook to announce his journey to success leading to his connection with the music icon.
"After goin viral worldwide last year, I kinda assumed Timbaland already heard of me.. But when I sent him my music on TikTok 2 months ago, I found out that was the first time he’d ever seen me. & now, I have a whole different version of my song with Timbaland AND a performance vid that we filmed in Miami!!..Now I’m wonderin if Pharrell has even seen me….If you’re readin this, I know the journey is confusin & difficult for the most part. But you gotta keep pushin!!! Celebrate your small wins as much as you celebrate your big wins. & remember that with God, nothin shall be impossible!!!!! God bless you all & may your 2024 be filled with milestones you’ve been longing to accomplish!!" #InhaleExhaleInhaleExcel"
