• Award Category: Gospel Media Innovation, Community Empowerment & Leadership in Creative Arts
• Title: Founder & Visionary Leader, Cleanzing Light Radio & Records

Palma de Mallorca, Spain — November 21, 2025 — For the very first time, the vibrant Mediterranean city of Palma de Mallorca will host the Clevenard Media Award 2025, a prestigious event celebrating global excellence in entertainment, entrepreneurship, fashion, innovation, and community empowerment. This landmark celebration will unite visionary entrepreneurs, creatives, royals, government leaders, NGOs, and community builders from across the globe to honor pioneers who have transformed society through courage, leadership, faith, and innovation.

Among the distinguished nominees is Richard Anthony Chen, a man whose life journey reflects the transformative power of resilience, faith, and vision. As the Founder and Visionary Leader of Cleanzing Light Radio & Records, Chen has become an international figure in Gospel media, community empowerment, and creative arts leadership, touching lives from Brixton to Africa, from Europe to the Caribbean.

From Brixton’s Struggles to Global Platforms

Born and raised in Brixton during the turbulent 1960s and 70s, Richard Anthony Chen faced the harsh realities of life without a father figure amidst widespread racial and social tensions. Like many of his peers, he was exposed to cycles of poverty, crime, and disenfranchisement.

Yet, it was his devoted mother’s strength and the power of Christian faith that lifted him above adversity. Guided by his belief that “God qualifies those He calls”, Richard turned his pain into purpose and transformed his environment into an opportunity for ministry and creativity.

The Birth of a Cultural Pioneer

Chen’s fascination with sound, light, and the arts began as a young man. This passion grew into Club Kingdom, a pioneering community-driven initiative that combined radio, events, and a record label.

Through Club Kingdom, Chen organized affordable events that offered young people an escape from destructive paths while promoting Gospel music, community pride, and positive alternatives. The platform gave emerging talents their first opportunities — many of whom later rose to become respected artists and influencers within the UK Gospel and creative industries.

Cleanzing Light Radio & Records: A Modern Ministry

In 2023, Chen launched Cleanzing Light Radio with partners Serge and Ian — a station dedicated to Gospel truth, apologetics, uplifting music, and community dialogue. It quickly became an influential voice both in the UK and abroad, blending faith-based teaching with cultural relevance.

The ministry expanded in 2024 with Cleanzing Light Records, which rapidly built a reputation for quality, authenticity, and global reach. Within its first year, it achieved landmark success:

• “I Love You” by Shadrach ft. Joshua Kesler — Winner of the StepFWD Award for Best Reggae Gospel Song of the Year (2024).
• “I Can’t Stand on My Own” by Psalmist Nadine Marshall — No. 1 on the StepFWD Reggae Gospel Charts (July 2024).

These achievements cemented Cleanzing Light’s reputation as a serious force in Gospel media and music worldwide.

Partnerships, Events, and Global Recognition

Richard Chen’s vision positioned Cleanzing Light Radio & Records as media partners for international Gospel concerts and faith-based events, including:

• Bliss Experience 2024
• Victoria Sound 2024 with Sinach
• Skylight 2025 with Emmanuel Smith

Meanwhile, his earlier platform, Club Kingdom, continued to spotlight and nurture UK Gospel talent, offering a space where communities could celebrate music, creativity, and faith.

Building the Next Generation

Richard’s ultimate vision is to empower young people who, like him, grew up in environments marked by brokenness and uncertainty. His dream is to establish a Creative Arts and Media Academy for disadvantaged youth, offering mentorship, education, and industry training.

The Academy will focus on:

• Education & Mentorship — equipping young people with life-changing skills.
• Music & Media Training — building the next generation of Gospel artists and cultural leaders.
• Entrepreneurship & Leadership — providing tools to thrive beyond survival.

By doing so, Chen aims to give young people safe alternatives to gangs, crime, and incarceration, inspiring them to live lives of purpose and vision.

Legacy of Impact

Richard Anthony Chen is not just a community leader and media innovator — he is a storyteller, mentor, and visionary whose journey demonstrates the power of faith, creativity, and service.

From pirate radio to international recognition, from Brixton’s streets to Palma de Mallorca’s global stage, his life reflects the truth that no beginning is too humble and no dream too impossible. His work continues to uplift communities, nurture talent, and spread the Gospel message of hope worldwide.
