A few words
About Us
A place where creators are at home.
Changing Hearts Worldwide began with a vision from it’s founder Seneca. He envisioned a facility where individuals within the local community could come in to create their works in a safe environment, rehearse their works, and professionally record those works. As a singer and musician himself, Seneca aimed to provide a creative artistic space for the youth as well as for adults.
Within this vision there was also a designated interchangeable space for intimate concerts and a place for weekly worship. Changing Hearts Worldwide is a place creators are at home.
Imagine having a place within the community where one could rehearse with a band or dance troop, or record a song written the night before. This is that place! Imagine a local space where intimate concerts and art galleries are held throughout the year. This is that place! Imagine having a child or teen, or even an adult who loves to sing and wants to take singing lessons or even music lessons. This is that place! Changing Hearts Worldwide.
Our Directors
Seneca Bonds – President & Founder
Tanesha Bonds – Program Director, Head Administrator
Seneca and Tanesha Bonds have been married for eight years and have three beautiful girls, and three dogs. They met through a mutual friend who asked them both to sing at a high school gospel choir’s concert.
He admitted that when he heard her sing, he knew it was something special about her. Ironically she mentioned the same about him, mentioning that she was captivated by his voice. Years later, they went on one date and fell in love. Seneca and Tanesha have always loved music, and with their musical background they knew something purposeful would birth from their union.
The Bonds have been singing since they were old enough to talk. They both have an extensive musical background touring the world with many artists including Carl Thomas, Marvin Sapp, Vashawn Mitchell, and more. They have appeared on many television and awards shows singing and ministering the gospel.
Music is in their blood, and they have helped to cultivate music ministry teams in many Chicagoland churches, written songs for artists, and are vocal teachers. As the Directors of Changing Hearts Worldwide, Seneca and Tanesha bring all of their musical abilities and their love for community to the organization in hopes that the community will be cultivated, enriched, and enhanced through the arts.
