Allen White (Baritone) Allen was born in Enid, Oklahoma, and developed a love for music at a very young age. Allen was saved at the age of 8 in Fresno, California. His first experience with southern gospel music was listening to the Cathedral Quartet as a child. Allen began singing southern gospel music in 2005 when he joined the Golden State Quartet. His desire is to lead as many to Christ as possible through song and testimony.
Gil Ramirez Jr. (Bass) Manager of HIS Quartet. Gil grew up listening to and loving Southern Gospel music. While his dad was at work, his mom always had music playing, whether it was Christian radio or vinyl records. Early influences include The Blackwood Brothers, The Statesmen, The Happy Goodmans, along with other well-known groups of the day. At the age of 10, Gil experienced God’s presence at a Californians’ concert. It made such an impression on him that it would later lead Gil to touch lives through music as well! Through life’s ups and downs, Gil has seen God’s hand ever present. He is excited to share that wonderful hope through music and testimony. Gil and his wife Susan reside in Riverside.
James “Jim” Cole (Lead) Born in Tampa, Florida, Jim was raised a US Air Force brat. Because of that, he traveled a bit, including Europe and Washington DC until his dad retired from the service and settled back in Tampa. Yes folks, Jim is a hard-core Buccaneers, Lightning, and a Rays fan! Raised in the church, his mom sang in the choir and he constantly got “the look” y’all know what I’m talking about! Jim started singing at the age of 9 and sang all through school. He gave his life to Jesus at the age of 14, and that’s when things really started to change! He went to the University of Tampa. There he discovered his love for reaching out to others, to tell them of the love of Jesus Christ. He moved to California in ‘92 and served in his local church. At that time, he joined his first Southern Gospel group “AV7”. In 2008 he was introduced to The Golden State Quartet and sang with them for several years. Jim has been singing and changing lives for Jesus ever since!
