Artist History I was introduced to music by my Mother and Father who would constantly play Stevey Wonder, Kool & the Gang(Before they were saved) Andre Crouch, Winans(After they were filled with the Holy spirit) and a host of other artist when I was a kid. I was introduced to singing by my older sister. She taugh me what I know about singing. She was one of those that inspired me to sing in my church choir. I started singing in a local church choir at Refuge Temple Annex. Located in Bronx, New York. I also sung with some of the best local and regional choirs. I sung with Eric McDaniel and Pentecostal Praise. I sung with Elder. Curtis Brown and Aggregation. I was also up on the latest Hip Hop. I was influenced By the struggle that was brought forth in the message of early Hip Hop.I was also influence By Bishop W.G Fields who spoke very powerful words as he proclaimed the word of God. In my mind preaching and rapping were very similar. I believe that the only thing missing from Hip Hop was the answer to all the problems of the world. I Believe Jesus Christ is the answer.I also realized that it would be very hard for the truth to come forth in the manner of preaching to youth in this era. I began studying scriptures and realized what being a fisher of men really meant. I decide to use the bait that would grasp the ears of the urban community. I wanted to present Christ to the needs of the uban community throught that same medium; HIP HOP, R&B. I began building my production skills along with another up and coming producer Yusef Assaan who has produced for DMX earlier in his career. I have work with some known names in the music industry. I recieve some of my production skills from Kenny (Smoove) Kornega of Spoiled Rotten Entertainment. Who produced hit records for Changing Faces, Mary J Blige, Case and a host of other music professionals.I have recieved the learning experience and I'm gonna bring forth the GOSPEL a new way.
