It derived from the fact that my music has touched people's lives and hearts like a preacher's sermon. The messages I bring are like sermons with a lyrical connotation to it. It was when I realized this that Lyrical Preacher would be a perfect name for me.

I perform live, doing my own thing as an artist under the genre of Life Music (I rap and sing). I perform anywhere from churches to open mics/showcases to outdoor events and concerts. All of my experiences have been special moments, so I don't have anything inparticular.

The Internet has made it much easier for artists to promote themselves independently without the help of a major label.

Yep, as long as it's legit and I have the freedom to create the music that the Lord calls on me to create. :)

"We walk by faith, not by sight." This scripture (2nd Corinthians 5:7) is a prime example of the spiritual life that Calen Johnson lives. Known in the world of music as Lyrical Preacher and his music-spawning alias NELAC, he is a talented individual that hails from the state of Maryland, with a mission to change and save peoples lives and spirits across the world with his music. His expertise includes that of acting, singing, rapping, producing, songwriting and music composing; these talents are being put into good use as he performs in the DC and Atlanta-Metropolitan area, and other parts of the United States and the world under the management of MajorSmart Entertainment. He is the owner and CEO of Thief in the Night 152 Productions and Nelac Publishing, two companies created in 2003--with the help of his father and business investor, Camero Johnson--for the sole purpose of creating quality music and presenting it to the world.

A 2005 graduate of Morehouse College, Calen is currently working hard to increase the awareness of his music independently while promoting his first independent release, a gospel album titled "Gods Time", and developing other solo projects. He is an active member of the AFTRA, SAG, ASCAP, Dynamic Producer, and Urban Gospel Alliance. Now residing in Douglasville, Georgia, he is currently working on various artist collaborations and new projects, including his second full-length album.

Be sure to stay tuned to the happenings of Lyrical Preacher, an artist that is drastically changing the game in the music industry!
