“This is a fun and cute movie about Smokey Robinson, Motown, and the power of love and miracles during the Christmas season,” Cotterell shares. “I’m so thrilled that my choir and I had a chance to be part of this Lifetime TV movie.

He continues, “Co-star Tia Mowry-Hardrict is the kindest and sweetest person. She was so engaged with us in between takes by talking to every choir member. It was a pleasure to work with such a genuine person and the amazing cast and crew.”

Powerhouse has recently appeared in two major movies: the Netflix original series Self Made Inspired by the life of Madam C. J. Walker, starring Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer and, the Lifetime Television Network movie event The Clark Sisters: The First Ladies of Gospel.

Cotterell has led Powerhouse Fellowship Soul Choir into creative places with excellence.
