Apart of Snoop’s Choir

BIG KNOWN ENERGY — NATIONAL STAGE EDITION

A select group of Known MPLS singers teamed up with standout Minneapolis solo artists to become the choir for Snoop Dogg’s Christmas halftime performance.

What started in the Twin Cities landed on a global stage—voices united, cultures connected, and excellence on full display. An unforgettable moment of collaboration, celebration, and BIG KNOWN ENERGY.


On February 15, Known MPLS was leading at Fellowship Minneapolis… and something special happened. Cory Henry walked in. Yes. That Cory Henry. What started as a regular worship moment turned into something unforgettable. We had the honor of hearing him sing — and then lifting our voices with him. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. Music connects. Worship unites. Excellence recognizes excellence. Cory Henry is one of the most gifted musicians and vocalists of our generation, and for him to share space with our choir meant more than we can put into words. Grateful. Honored. Inspired. Make sure you subscribe to Known MPLS and stay connected to the journey. You never know what moment is next.

In 2025, that person is Katira Lutterman. 🏆 Katira embodies consistency. Excellence. Joy. Leadership. She shows up. She serves. She supports. She leads with humility and strength. This year, we surprised her with a $500 Delta gift card ✈️ because she loves to travel — and we wanted to invest in her the way she invests in us. Katira, thank you for being a pillar in this space.
